Petition To Stop Disneyland From Removing ‘The Haunted Mansion’ Attraction!
I didn’t think there was anything worse than Universal Studios Orlando getting rid of their Ghostbusters show. Then they got rid of the Alfred Hitchock attraction. What came next made my skin crawl; the removal of ol’ King Kong, which was dwarfed in comparison when Uni celebrated their 100th anniversary by taking Jaws out of the theme park as well. The only thing worse in my life was when EPCOT decided to retool Journey into Imagination, thus bastardizing my childhood memories forever. Just when I thought it couldn’t get worse, it did…
According to the ever-so-popular Disney blog DisneythePooh, Disneyland California will wave goodbye to The Haunted Mansion dark ride that opened back on August 9, 1969. The attraction will take attendees on one last tour August 9, 2012 before it’s demolished for a future attraction, one that will drive you to insanity.
Both Disneyland and Disneyworld butchered their Pirates of the Caribbean attraction by adding Johnny Depp as Jack Sparrow throughout. Now they’re punching us fans right in the nose as they’re replacing the Haunted Mansion with an entire new land. By summer 2015 “New Orleans Square” will be trasnformed into “The Caribbean,” all based around the Pirates attraction. Inspired by Universal Orlando’s new “The Wizarding World of Harry Potter”, the land will be completely revamped to match Walt Disney Pictures popular franchise that’s banked more than $4 billion worldwide over the course of the release of the four films. All star Depp.
While the Disneyworld Haunted Mansion, opened on October 1, 1971, is still safe, Disney made it very clear that it could dismantle the Orlando mansion castle in order to expand the park northward with its own “Caribbean”. The delay is the extreme difficulty in relocating the original Pirates attraction to where Haunted Mansion used to be. DisneythePooh implies that they may just revamp the Pirates ride completely…
Say “goodbye”, foolish mortals, to the Haunted Mansion.
DisneythePooh has set up a petition to stop the removal of the classic dark ride that, for now, will still be haunting Tokyo Disneyland and Disneyland Paris. You can also type #SaveHauntedMansion to @Disney. 
After pulling in $28 million at the worldwide box office this month, director (and star) Dev Patel’s critically acclaimed action-thriller Monkey Man is now available to watch at home.
You can rent Monkey Man for $19.99 or digitally purchase the film for $24.99!
Monkey Man is currently 88% Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, with Bloody Disgusting’s head critic Meagan Navarro awarding the film 4.5/5 stars in her review out of SXSW back in March.
Meagan raves, “While the violence onscreen is palpable and painful, it’s not just the exquisite fight choreography and thrilling action set pieces that set Monkey Man apart but also its political consciousness, unique narrative structure, and myth-making scale.”
“While Monkey Man pays tribute to all of the action genre’s greats, from the Indonesian action classics to Korean revenge cinema and even a John Wick joke or two, Dev Patel’s cultural spin and unique narrative structure leave behind all influences in the dust for new terrain,” Meagan’s review continues.
She adds, “Monkey Man presents Dev Patel as a new action hero, a tenacious underdog with a penetrating stare who bites, bludgeons, and stabs his way through bodies to gloriously bloody excess. More excitingly, the film introduces Patel as a strong visionary right out of the gate.”
Inspired by the legend of Hanuman, Monkey Man stars Patel as Kid, an anonymous young man who ekes out a meager living in an underground fight club where, night after night, wearing a gorilla mask, he is beaten bloody by more popular fighters for cash. After years of suppressed rage, Kid discovers a way to infiltrate the enclave of the city’s sinister elite. As his childhood trauma boils over, his mysteriously scarred hands unleash an explosive campaign of retribution to settle the score with the men who took everything from him.
Monkey Man is produced by Jordan Peele’s Monkeypaw Productions.
