Maybe something that is standing still when you're facing it can appear to be moving when your vehicle turns its back to it. Maybe you could travel...

I think the Monkey is a sneaky way to bring in a character from Pirates of the Caribbean!

I'd like to see a nod to all of the scenes of the original Haunted Mansion... but for them to be presented in completely original ways. It could be much like searching for hidden mickeys. If you don't know the attraction, you won't notice all of the references. These would be subtle and not at all in the forefront of the show the guest in meant to be watching. For instance:

Well, at the end of my day, it might as well be pink and full of fluffy bunnies. The chances of me going to Hong Kong are about the same as me winning the Presidential Nomination in the next election.

I have to say that this looks awesome! Combining the Mansion, TDL ToT, and the Adventure's Club all into one attraction (and restraunt! so there is a bit of PotC as well). Taking it more in tune with the Chinese superstitions and whatnot is brilliant!

So I, like most of you, I'm sure, am very VERY curious/concerned about the content, concept, and storyline of this new Mansion! Soooo many questions have yet to be answered, and I'm just dying to know how this is going to turn out...

Of course, will "Grim Grinning Ghosts" have a place in this Mansion?

Will there be any haunted activity in the Mansion, or will it all be wierd goings-on as a result of the curse (or...

That's all true, except I'm a little puzzled by the suggestion that onion domes are an example of oriental flavoring.
India, Turkey, and eastern Russia are considered parts of the Orient. That's why Persian Rugs are also considered "Oriental"

Certainly. All I'm saying is that it's not Hong Kong...

Please note #11 which states:

11. Hong Kong Disney is getting site-specific attractions based on existing ones here in the states -- for example, instead of Haunted Mansion, they'll be getting the Mystical Manor, where a curse is released inside the house and all manner of supernatural things occur.
