Stevie's name in the Haunted Mansion

[jkmaletic]

I went to Disneyland this weekend and saw Stevie's name (Twice!) on the Haunted Mansion ride. :nod: Every year, around this time, Disneyland re-vamps it's regular Haunted Mansion ride into "Haunted Mansion Holiday". They completely re-do it with characters and scenes from the movie "Nightmare Before Christmas" It's really cool and I look forward to it each year. :p Anyway, the name "Stevie" appears twice on the ride this year- once on a list of "good kids" that is coming out of a snake's mouth (there is only about 15 names listed too), and then "Stevie" is on a gift tag of one of the oversize presents nearby. There are lots of presents like that on the ride, but only a few have names on them. I'm hoping that one of the ride designers is a Stevie fan, because there's obviously something to that name. I'm going to try to find out for sure. If I do, I'll be sure to post it here. :woohoo:

Hmm, interesting. I wonder if that's really her they're referring to? would be cool if it is. :thumbsup:

I wish I could have seen that. I just went to Disneyland about 1.5 weeks ago and The Haunted Mansion was closed. :( They must have been preparing for Halloween but it one of my favorite rides.

Is it like the Tower of Terror? I went on that sucker and it felt like my balls were in my throat. I did not like it. It was not fun. I was in a bad mood for the rest of the day.

I didn't go on the actual Tower of Terror, it was a ride exactly like it only under a different name at Riverside Park here in MA before it became Six Flags. I think it was called the Hellevator. Worst experience of my life. I think I kissed the ground when I got off. You go all the way up and then *BAM* they drop you. You think it's going to end, but you just go right back up and then right back down again. Over and over. It's evil. I was one irritated motherf*cker when I got off of that thing. I probably resembled Tori Spelling because my eyes were bugging out so badly.

What's Ghostrider like?
