Overview

• Walt Disney Imagineering released behind-the-scenes footage showing the build and programming of the updated Oogie Boogie figure.
• Imagineers state the animatronic was rebuilt from scratch with revised posing, upgraded mechanics, and enhanced animation for fluid movement.
• Ride-through views demonstrate the figure is staged to appear as if it is speaking directly to guests in their Doom Buggies.
• The character now appears in the end crypt location, typically home to the Hitchhiking Ghosts, spinning a roulette wheel that triggers a gift effect in the vehicle.
• Haunted Mansion Holiday is operating at Disneyland Park through January 7, 2026, after guests noticed the smoother animation when the overlay opened last month.
