Disneyland's Haunted Mansion could lose one in every of its 999 comfortable places if Walt Disney Imagineering ultimately decides to remove the Ghost Host's hanging corpse from the classic dark ride's pre-show scene in order to not upset sensitive guests.
Walt Disney Imagineering may remove the hanging corpse scene from the elevators at Disneyland's Haunted Mansion, they are saying Los Angeles Times.
“We’re still looking into it,” Kim Irvine, Imagineering’s creative director, told the Times. “It’s structurally complicated. One thing at a time.”

“These days we have to be really careful about people’s sensibilities,” Irvine told the Times.
Disneyland fans eagerly awaited to see if the hanging corpse scene would survive one other round of Haunted Mansion updates revealed over the weekend.
Imagineering introduced a brand new ghost bride within the Haunted Mansion attic scene and updated “Hitchhiking Ghosts” within the finale, because the classic dark ride returned after shedding its annual holiday overlay.
The hanging corpse scene appears within the stretching room elevator within the Haunted Mansion pre-show, because the Ghost Host narrator offers visitors a “terrifying challenge” to search out a way out of the chamber with no windows or doors.
Suddenly the lights exit and an eerie laughter fills the room because the ghost innkeeper shows the passengers the best way out: a swinging corpse hanging from the rafters.
Removing the hanging corpse will not be complicated. Disneyland does it yearly for the Nightmare Before Christmas ride overlay.
The structural challenge is the limited space within the “rafters” above the span. Imagineering would should make sure that a re-themed scene would slot in the identical space.
The “Nightmare Before Christmas” ride overlay uses a video projection of an animated Jack Skellington. The hanging corpse scene is in a three-dimensional set at the highest of the stretching room, full of support beams, heating and air-con ducts, and elevator cables.
