Haunted Mansion's cobwebbing-and-griming regimen

By at 4:33 pm Wednesday, Dec 15

GREAT article on how Disney keeps the Haunted Mansion's interior nice and spooky-grimy:
"It's something that we take very seriously at Imagineering," he says. "In the case of the Mansion, it's kind of fun because there are all those anecdotes about how everything else in the park is kept so pristine, and inside the Mansion the challenge is to keep it as rundown and dusty and musty as possible." The goal with all the attractions at Disney parks, says Jason, is to keep them looking and sounding just as good as they did on opening day. "This is the 35th year for the Haunted Mansion, and when you walk in there every single thing about it is just as it was intended to be back in 1969 when it opened!"
