Overview
- The Stretching Room pre-show was temporarily suspended Tuesday after Disney reported a technical fault, and Cast Members escorted guests quickly toward the Doom Buggy loading area.
- The Haunted Mansion ride itself remained open and visitors could still board Doom Buggies to experience the remainder of the attraction.
- On-site reports confirmed the hanging-figure visual effect is still in place and the outage is tied to the pre-show’s systems rather than removal of any show elements.
- Visible exterior refurbishment work on the mansion is focused on maintenance and has drawn extra attention as technicians work to restore the pre-show.
- Longtime fans say skipping the Stretching Room changes the attraction’s pacing because the pre-show introduces the Ghost Host, times key effects, and distributes guests before loading.
