Structure by Haunted Mansion Fully Enclosed at Magic Kingdom
Permits showing a theming contractor’s role suggest the work could tie into the Piston Peak National Park expansion.
Overview
- Construction crews have enclosed walls around a building long used as a Haunted Mansion queue extension and framed a new roof that has not yet been covered.
- The change completes a steel framework first noticed about a week earlier, with multiple outlets reporting the enclosure on Tuesday.
- The Haunted Mansion exterior work is also progressing; scaffolding has come down in places and the attraction’s cupola was repainted in a metallic green while the ride remains open.
- Walt Disney Imagineering permits name MLC Theming for general construction, which signals themed work rather than simple demolition but offers no official word from Walt Disney World on the building’s final use.
- The structure sits across from Memento Mori near the former Rivers of America edge and the Mike Fink Keel Boats landing and could affect sightlines and how backstage spaces are seen once the wider Frontierland and Piston Peak projects advance.
