Whhhhhhhhooaaaaaaaaaa!

One of my favorite aspects of this ride-thru audio as well.

Here's a great rundown from the Long Forgotten Haunted Mansion blog: There is some Ghost Host monologue in the Corridor of Doors that has been turned off and on several times over the course of the HM's history. Most people accept it as "official," but it has been turned off for most of the Mansion's operation. In it, the GH refers to Madame Leota by name. "All our ghosts have been dying to meet you. This one can hardly contain himself." "Unfortunately, they all seem to have trouble getting through. Perhaps Madame Leota can establish contact. She has a remarkable head for materializing the disembodied." Here's a history: 1) Aug 1969-ca. Sept 1969.......Lines are in (less than a month) 2) ca. Sept 1969-Sept 1995.......Lines are out (26 years) 3) Sept 1995-May 2006.............Lines are in (11 years) 4) May 2006-Jan 2008...............Lines are out 5) Jan 2008.................................Very briefly, after the first HMH, the 1st line is in but not the 2nd 5) Jan 2008 and Jan-June of 2012............ .. ....... .....Lines are sorta... kinda... (See below) Things were weird during Jan 2008 and between Jan and June of 2012. You need to know that the GH monologue is repeated every three doombuggies, and during these two time periods it would sometimes be the case that a triad of doombuggies would omit the earlier, "We find it delightfully unlivable..." spiel but include the "All our ghosts ... contain himself" line, while the following triad of buggies experienced exactly the reverse of this! And none of them included the Leota lines.* It all had something to do with a fluky problem during the switchover from HMH back to the regular HM show. Either that or pranky spirits. Since 2012 (as far as I know), the COD lines have been out. Someone during the major 1995 rehab apparently said, "Hey, why were these lines deleted? Let's put them back in." A stern email went out in May of 2006 from the very top of the food chain at WDI with the "request to permanently delete" the COD lines, and this-ahem-"request" included a warning: "If there is an incident where someone intentionally or accidentally reactivates them ... we will be forced to remove them entirely." Yikes. The next day they were out, so the leaked email was no hoax. Even though they've now been utterly gone more than a decade, virtually all of the ride-thru souvenir CDs and whatnot that have been sold over the years include them. Every Mansion freak knows about them. They're "canon," if you want to use that term, and they ought to put to rest any doubts about whether the 3-Act play is really the story of the ride.

Hmmmmmmm.

I went 2 weeks ago and they didn't have the piano music as heard in this video; just the heart beats and screaming popup ghosts

@idk-zt8rx oh thank goodness. I'm glad to know there's still ONE iteration of the original attic scene still going
