With the changes to occur during a refurb (?1994 - it was when the changes to the attic with the pop-ups now heard saying "I do..."), someone decided to reinstate those GH lines as well. Only prob was apparently others in the higher echelon never OKed any such change and the "offending" lines were then un-reinstated yet again.
Originally Posted By gadzuux I have no idea what actually happened, but I've got a pretty good guess. several years ago, the safety spiel was updated and clocked in much longer than the original one, and then repeated itself in spanish. The result is that the buggy is practically into the long hallway with the coffin by the time the spiel has ended. Perhaps they thought that they needed to reduce the chatter at that point. Also, people who go through the ride multiple times tend to recite the script like it's the pledge of allegiance or a midnight showing of the rocky horror show. Anything they can do to reduce that is an "improvement".
Originally Posted By Bob Paris ^ HEAR, HEAR!!!! I had that happen a few times at DL and WDW and it annoyed the frig out of me. For some people, doubtless it is their first time in the attraction and they get these nerdish goons ruining it for them.
Originally Posted By u k fan I'd be disappointed if that happened to me. At DLP we don't have the Ghost Host during the main portion of the attraction so I want to hear it when I ride in the US!!!

Originally Posted By Bellella They need to put back that bit of narration about Madame Leota. If they don't, non-Dis-nerds who go on the ride for the first time will have no idea who she is, or why she's there.
