New Haunted Mansion in Disney World - Video with binaural sound!
The Haunted Mansion ride at Walt Disney World has just undergone a major rehab that builds on the superb work done on Disneyland's Mansion last year. Inside the Magic's Ricky Brigante was there for opening day, and he recorded a high-resolution, night-scope-equipped binaural-sound video that starts at "rope-drop" at the entrance to Liberty Square and runs through the entire ride. The other riders are clearly Mansion-obsessed loonies (like myself) and their gasps of pleasure at the new grace-notes and improvements in the Mansion are a real treat. Link

Oh no! Did they take away the end where you see the ghost in your chair with you? That was my favorite part!
I just don't get it. Why are you advertising for disney on one page, then accusing them of unfair labor practices on another? You'll boycott a music player over DRM, why not a company that abuses employees?
You're happy because the ad hocs have finally taken over the Mansion? What has Debra done to the real Cory Doctorow?
Have they installed the flash-bakes yet, or is that another couple weeks away?
I love small traveling fairgrounds and I really like good binaural recordings. But...
I've never been to any big theme park, and dear me, this certainly gives me a reason not to! This seems rather less impressive and scary than a traditional travelling fairground ride ghost train.
You say there are 'mansion-obsessed loonies'? What is it they are obsessed about? Do people really queue up to visit these places?
Well, by the video it looks like they've added plenty of things and surey made the ride more appealing. The video doesn't do it justice though. So, it would be probably in the best interest to actually go and experience the ride yourself.
