BREAKING: DLP Phantom Manor Original Score Is Now Back on Ride !

GREAT news: ALL the original music written by John Debney for the ride has been put back in DLP Phantom Manor ride! When the ride reopened for the special event five days ago, the music had been changed with music from the Haunted Mansion, specially during the Mrs Leota and ballroom scenes. DLP fans were absolutely furious and even here at D&M i said in my review how big mistake it was. Anyway, now only remain from the Haunted Mansion some sound bites in the hallway with doors and the piano scene.

Max has filmed a new Phantom Manor video this afternoon and as you'll hear the original score is played from the start and is back especially on Mrs Leota and the ballroom scenes, and afterwards until the end. I'm not totally sure though that the original score is back between the piano scene up to Mrs Leota scene. You can check this with the previous videos, see links below. And i think that this might be due to a new visual effect where you see the shadows of the fingers of the Phantom hitting the piano keys. The shadows had to be synchronized with the moves of the keys of course and i suspect that the Imagineers took the programmation that had been done on the same effect at WDW or DL Haunted Mansions. And of course the piano keys ( and so the fingers shadows ) are synchronized with the theme played, so eventually they're stuck with that. Anyway, for most of the ride it's of course much better with the original score back, check it out, and as usual the video is available in 4K only using the Chrome browser.
