Honestly, I would be ecstatic if they did something like that but this is the first I've heard anything like that regarding the enhancements to this ride during its refurb. And why is this a bad thing? I thought everyone wanted MK's HM to get the updates DL's did?

Originally Posted By DLFAN1979 Yes, we are basically going to ride through DLs portrait gallery, w/ only 4 of 5 portraits and 1 extra not known yet. sigggghhh.........

Originally Posted By ChampDisney I would love for them to take out the old portraits from the beggining of the attraction to complete new ones. I can't really understand the ones Magic Kingdom has now, if i'm not mistaken there's a vampire portrait & some other weird ones. My sugestion is to have portraits of all 6 or 7 of Master Gracey's past wives. I would totally love that.

Originally Posted By gaston lives They're actually quite different. I wish WDW had the ghosts that ride bikes. I like the Sinister 11, but this change won't be bad...as long as we get Constance and lots of TLC I'll be happy.
Originally Posted By Skellington88 The Sinister 11 portraits are kind of odd anyway..theres like a picture of a 1920's dracula sterotype...a fat guy whos supposed to be jack the ripper...and then there already is one of the disneyland morphing portraits (in December form) The only cool portrait is the Fisherman/Davy Jones portrait that sits at the top.

Originally Posted By a1stav "Fisherman/Davy Jones portrait" Love that one. I don't like the idea of changing the portrait hall to match the walk through of DL, just for the sake of keeping things different.
Originally Posted By FiveBearRugs It's been a while since I've been to the WDW Mansion or Doombuggies... let's see if I can remember the Sinister 11: -Jack the Ripper (holding knife) -Vampire -Witch -Opera Glasses woman -Mariner (as titled by his action figure) -Husband & Wife -Fat Bearded Man -Traveling Man -DL's Medusa -DL's April/December woman -Ghost Host (wearing noose and holding axe) I remember reading that the married couple was supposed to have been a morphing portrait. The 'before' shot was their current pose in the WDW gallery. The 'after' shot was the wife strangling her husband. The vampire was also going to be used as a morphing portrait, as featured in Jason Surrell's book; he was going to turn into a large bat/vampire while several other bats appeared in the background.
