Haunted Mansion Exit Shrouded by New Green Scrim
Disney frames the work as structural repairs to the mansion with a reconfigured exit meant to accommodate the Piston Peak expansion.
Overview
- A plain green scrim now covers the Haunted Mansion’s exit area, expanding the visible construction zone and reshaping the path guests use after the ride.
- The new coverage was reported on Monday, June 1, 2026, and follows earlier 2026 work that cleared the mansion lawn, installed scaffolding, and used photo‑realistic printed scrims on other facades.
- Reporting and industry analysis say the project focuses on structural preservation tasks such as masonry repointing, roof and chimney work, and resealing conservatory glass rather than show or story changes.
- Observers link the exit rework to the Piston Peak National Park (Cars) expansion because planned new walkways between the mansion and Big Thunder Mountain Railroad require reconfigured guest circulation.
- While the ride remains open, the scaffolding and expanded work footprint have compressed queues, altered the interactive graveyard photo spots, and made Liberty Square less photogenic for summer visitors.
