Haunted Mansion Shrouded by Scrim as Piston Peak Construction Advances Next Door

Overview

• Haunted Mansion’s exterior is now covered by a photo‑realistic scrim that masks active façade work, and the attraction remains open to guests.
• Piston Peak, a Cars-themed area beside Liberty Square and Frontierland, has progressed from site prep to visible vertical work with retaining walls, drainage, grading, and structural steel in place.
• Disney says Piston Peak will feature two attractions and a central park ranger headquarters designed to evoke a national park setting.
• Fans are speculating about subtle exterior tweaks to help the mansion blend with the new wilderness theme, though current reporting points to restoration and Disney has not announced any redesign.
• Rivers of America has been drained and Tom Sawyer Island is being replaced, changing sightlines near Haunted Mansion and illustrating how Disney uses detailed scrims to hide construction while keeping core rides operating.
