The ride re-opens from its rehab tomorrow, so we'll have to keep an eye on the internet over the weekend won't we :wink:

Phantom Manor remains closed today (the 14th) and is not likely to open tomorrow either.

Ah well. Guess we'll have to wait and see.

It would be great to get a floating leota. I liked this effect very much at WDW. Hopefully DLRP's version will get an update like the Hauntad Mansion in WDW in the near future.

Here we go:

Madame Léota ne vole pas, mais son visage a changé.

Madame Leote does not float, but her face (as in HD projection) has been updated.

I would have prefered floating Leota but a HD Leota is still a pretty good improvement. The projection effect was looking very poor.

[pussinboots]

Agreed. Even stationary a Magic Kingdom-style Leota would be a huge improvement.

Here's a photo of the "new" Leota and Petite Leota, posted by BOLT on Disney Central Plaza...

The one from the front of the house looks quite good, with the side view, it kinda looks as if some one is just walking along it with a torch...

But with the front it looks quite effective...

From those pictures, i feel i prefer the older ones, seems more Classic for me than the new HD projections...

but thats just me, i prefer classic Disney than alot of this new fangles stuff they doing...
Ok going off topic quick... I adore Classic Disney's look, like all the princess films and that instead of like Hannah Montan and High School Musical... Keep it classic with Mickey Mouse and that...

Ok back to topic!!

to me that somehow looks like a guy in drag :shock:  but a very creepy one...

Judging from the pictures I would say I prefer the old version but I guess I won't really know until I have seen the new version "live and in action".

that is so scary!!!  IT LOOKS LIKE A EVIL VERSION OF SNOW WHITE!!!!!

I prefer the new version! She looks spookier and just generally more real.  :mrgreen:

Shame she doesn't float though.

I prefer the new version! She looks spookier and just generally more real.  :mrgreen:

And somehow more in-keeping with the period too... the make-up for example.

Although... Leota does look a little like The Joker, and the standing Bride still looks too much like just a mannequin with a projected face... It's just a bit strange that no other part of her body is illuminated like say Buzz Lightyear is.

Great to see something fresh at Phantom Manor though. The story and overall design might be fairly classic, but the technology behind it needs these continual updates.

Btw: I've combined the two PM topics that were on the front page.

[MizzRabbit]

Is it still the same woman playing Leota or is it someone new?

[Miss Tinkerbell]

what the... I've never noticed Leota?! Where can she be seen? In the scene right before the ballroom and?
