What confuses me is how large it will be, since that sounds like it's about the same size as the one in the photo, and that would be way too big (and probably too heavy) to put in the middle of the table...
Originally Posted By Cindermomster That's what I thought. Too big for the table. This sounds like a different type of display. I heard that even though the mansion is closed the exterior decorations have yet to arrive and it is set to open Friday. Could this mean they will put it outside the Mansion? Or Have you seen the exterior Jack-o-lanterns appear yet?
Originally Posted By DBitz2 I would guess that it's for the ballroom table. Six feet and 500 lbs. sounds about right. If you watch the HMH behind the scenes bonus feature that's on the newest NBC DVD, the past ones have been pretty big and heavy, so much so that the table had to be reinforced to support them. Also, remember that you are looking "down" on the table and gingerbread piece, so they need to be exaggerated seen from that perspective to be properly impressive.

Originally Posted By 999HAUNTS I tried to take a picture but it just looks like a big blur. Sorry! It is neat, though. Its a rather tall merry go round with the skeleton reindeer as the carousel horses are being lead by Zero. It's pretty fun. And they have the gingerbread scent in there again, too.
