I don't really like the new hitchhiking ghosts because I think the gags are a little convoluted and are a little hard to "read."<<< I sort of agree, but I really think that they are seen too quickly to really have an effect on the ride. >>>I assume Hatbox would be a figure with no dialogue? If that's the case, I'd suspect he'll be a nice addition.<<<< Agreed.

Not sure how to feel about that. Leota doesn't need puns. The Ghost Host uses some but it's not the dominant element of his script. >> I sort of agree, but I really think that they are seen too quickly to really have an effect on the ride. << That's sorta my point. I don't think the new figures ruin the end of the ride, but it's just amazing to me that WDI has this incredible tech at their disposal and they still manage to botch how it's used at the end. Simple gags would've been fine, but instead they go for stuff that's unnecessarily complicated (the lantern(?!) that makes the riders' heads disappear is an example of this). Suffice it to say I think the old figures were better designed and fit into the layout of the mirror scene more effectively.

Still, not a HUGE problem... Pick your battles. lol
