Regarding sound issues, I'm old enough to remember when the soundtracks were played from looping analog tapes. The quality of the tapes would degrade just a bit for each playing, so that after many months in service, there was a decidetly "mushy" sound to everything in the Mansion (and POTC and other classic rides for that matter). One of the things done during the annual rehab was to replace the tapes with new copies from the master, making the sound so much more crisp as an attraction came off rehab. Now that everything is digital, this is no longer an issue (although sound issues relating to equipment, rather than the recordings, continue as mentioned by others above}.

I also seem to remember that one of the zombie heads in the graveyard does not pop up all the time. You hear his scream but no head appears. I would absolutely love a merch. store for the HM. This is probably my favorite ride at MK and I would like to be able to take a little bit of the magic home with me.
Originally Posted By Labuda I'm all for the floating Leota head if they do that, but miostly I'd like to have the sound cleaned up, as others have mentioned here. With my poor hearing, it's a bit rough trying to make out some of the things I hear on the ride at WDW, whereas I don't have that issue out at DLR. Also, I'm VERY against Eddie Murphy showing up! lol And, if the shop is HM-specific merch, BRING IT ON, BABY!!!!

Originally Posted By vbdad55 No vaulted ceiling in that room, but not a bad idea !
