Yeah, I'm with you also, I LOVED that part, but it doesn't seem to be loved by many though. Have to wait and see what this new effect brings, but it SOUNDS like people like it at least.

In fact, I prefer the entire Orlando version--but version 2.0 here in Anaheim IS quite fun. Oh--and a correction to the article. In every single drop shaft, the show sequence is 'Magic Mirror' FOLLOWED BY 'Haunted Hallway' followed by the drop sequence. The only difference between the shafts is that on the far right shaft, the elevator ASCENDS after the 'Magic Mirror' to stop at the 'Haunted Hallway,' while in the middle and left shafts, the elevator DESCENDS after the 'Magic Mirror' to stop at the 'Haunted Hallway.' Oh, and I guess there is one more difference--depending on whether you board an elevator upstairs or downstairs, your final drop will be longer (downstairs) or shorter (upstairs).

Originally Posted By WorldDisney Not new huh, sorry . Just odd, because the lack of the 5-D room was pretty much the main discussion for about a year when we learned then it wouldn't be added. Maybe you just stayed away from the TOT topics. Anyway, have a good time in Fl......I wish I could go .
Originally Posted By esmetutu I am going to the AP preview next Tuesday, but i can only walk through, not ride unfortunately. How far can I get until I have to use a chicken exit?

Originally Posted By SpaceScreamin BrigmanMT2: Nope, the chicken exits are either through the 'service elevator' doors as you load, OR through the doors that the bellhops walk through peroidically marked 'maintenance only.' Either door leads to the load/unload hallway, from which you can exit. I believe the hallways are even marked 'guest exit areas' with an arrow pointing the way to exit. It would have been interesting if the chicken exit were under the boiler though. Open a door and see a bright orange light, as if you were being consumed by the boiler. Then again, if you're scared enough by that point to exit the queue, maybe that wouldn't be such a good idea.

We saw the buckled elevators but it didn't flow with the storyline for some reason. We were taken to the library, watched the video which explained what happened in the hotel but somehow I just didn't connect. Now I get it. I didn't read any spoilers before we went. Kind of wish I had because I would have looked for some things in the library that I didn't notice. Thanks for the great description and I'll be looking in Aug. when we get to go again
