I think that detracts from the Mansion more than anything. I also think if they add a lighting flash, back-ground thunder effect for the mansion at night, the hearse will look fantastic right where it is.

Originally Posted By MPierce >> They have a lightning effect at night on HM. It looks pretty cool. << Yes, but isn't it used on a very limited bases now?
Originally Posted By rockcow1 I had my husband and three kids with me. Son,16, with long hair, and 2 daughters, 11 and 13. We asked what was going to happen to all the HM CMs during the rehab. Alex did not seem happy with moving to the caribbean or possibly shooting hippos.
Originally Posted By twirlnhurl "Yes, but isn't it used on a very limited bases now?" When the attraction was open, if one spent five minutes in front of the attraction, there is a decent chance of seeing it. That has been my experience, anyway. I could have been lucky every time I was there in the past 15 months. (Haunted Mansion is not my favorite ride at the Magic Kingdom, but I always ride it at night because of shorter lines)

It has VERY COLD A.C. and my other Pirate friends are great! I will be shooting non-working hippos tomorrow. At least Schweitzer Falls is fully working now!
