Overview
- The left Stretching Room scrim at Magic Kingdom was replaced Wednesday, August 5, and staff adjusted the room lighting so the hanging mannequin is now more visible to riders.
- Guests first noticed the figure seemed missing on July 24, and Disney said the figure had not been removed but had been hidden by a scrim that had accumulated dirt and debris.
- Disney cleaned the affected scrim by July 27, which made the figure visible again before the company decided this week to replace the fabric entirely.
- The right Stretching Room scrim was not replaced because it never became discolored enough to obscure that room’s figure, according to reporting from park-news outlets.
- Imagineering has previously said removal of the hanging prop was discussed during past refurbishments, and some outlets report Disney is no longer considering removal though that claim has limited sourcing and no broad official proclamation.
