Here's the Pirates FastPass set up:

FastPass shots - taken 12/7

The Haunted Mansion FastPass installation is finished, and they did a super job with it. Below are some photos of the install for you - note the detail that went into it, and the hidden garden design. It's apparently a favorite among park management and the designers, I only wish they had spent this much effort on Space Mountain's rather unattractive set up.

As you walk up you see the new sign to the left of the old gate - on more than a few nights now we've seen the wait time for standby at (an unlucky?) thirteen minutes!

A new bar over the entrance denotes the standby and Fastpass entrances

The detailing continues with the sculptures chosen, like this weeping gargoyle, hmm I wonder if he's upset they still won't paint the Mansion?

As you walk up you see the "secret garden" and statuary - although the iron canopy now has plastic vines on it, they are growing real ivy on it.

Below are two of the figures you see in the garden, both a little disquieting - and just perfect for this area.

Finally you reach a Fastpass machine, and they have themed it just perfectly with an old stone finish. All that's missing is ash urns, something that I'm sure they thought of, but probably pulled back on at last minute.

Now please paint the mansion - and rehab the ride please? I and many others are tired of the general lack of upkeep in the attraction.

Below are the installations for Big Thunder Railroad, Space Mountain, Star Tours and in an older shot of the one for Splash Mountain. It's interesting how they have themed each - some like the Big Thunder and Splash work quite well, others like Space just don't. Roger Rabbit is done, but the ride has yet to come back up.
