I’d like to note after my reaction to the new attic bride on my side blog it is not due to the change of character, oh no, it’s due to how and why.
They’d already very likely just bought a Home Depot shed to make the new shop, but also just bought and not altered things from Amazon or put ai art in it as well.
The queue as well is a downgrade as it doesn’t feel eerie or spooky, but a normal garden setting with purchased made to order items and not altered or specially ordered items.
Now for the new bride, I will admit I love the lighting and ethereal look, but! Why is her head a very visible projector if she doesn’t talk?
Her arms do not move and are statue like the original and if they were going to just have her be stationary as such, sculpt or create a head as you did in the past with the other brides before Constance which were stationary and didn’t talk.
Visual example, here is the brides leading up and with Constance.
They were silent and only hearts heard and didn’t move. So makes sense they’re full statue animatronic models.
Constance is still technically a still statue like model, but her projections over the form made that she spoke like the busts and made it look like she had arms and was moving.
A wonderful illusion that made her feel alive and moving compared to the older models that didn’t move.
Now why does this upset me with the new bride?
She was changed due to “sensitivity” of her being an axe murderess.
Big changes are on the way for Disney's classic dark ride.
And supposedly outdated tech being from 2009.
And yet! They left all Constance’s themed items in the ride and didn’t even try to retheme or alter anything related outside of putting the new bride and her cat in the ride.
How is it sensitive but you kept the portraits of the men and the other brides with indication of her still beheading them?
Going on with the out of date reasoning, why did you downgrade from a projection that gave the illusion of movement and the bride speaking to a silent bride that doesn’t move and for some reason still has a projected face instead of a physical none animated one like before or a full animatronic set up like with your newer rides?
Now before you say why I’m not upset of a similar thing with the Hatbox, that’s because his set up is made to pull off the effect his head is traveling between two places and is achieved due to no or little movement and projectors. Yet still is moving more then the new bride!
Again, something they’re calling outdated but used to make him and are using on the new brides head writhing the last years far after Constance was added.
Now I ask take a moment and look at the previous next to the new.
Which looks more like a Disney product and which looks more like a Halloween DIY decoration on someone’s lawn?
It feels rushed and just a place holder.
The fact the attic hasn’t been rethemed really screams a rushed job as well.
The painting even looks better than the final in my opinion and only upside with the actual outcome is the colors and the candelabra. Doesn’t make it look any better, just nice colors.
Until they improve it, don’t they dare touch Walt Disney World!
