The Haunted Mansion, which has been covered with scrim for most of 2026, now has more scrim installed around the attraction’s exit area.
Haunted Mansion Exit Scrim

As you can see above, the building section that serves as the Haunted Mansion’s exit is now covered in plain, green scrim. When refurbishment work began on the rest of the building in early 2026, it was also covered in this type of scrim material. That was later replaced by a printed scrim resembling the show building.

Unlike the attraction’s themed scrim, we can’t see this newly added scrim from in front of the queue.
In January, Disney filed two permits for construction at the Haunted Mansion. Crews cleared the mansion’s lawn of shrubs and trees. Soon after, crews began installing scaffolding as an extension of construction work in the queue’s graveyard.
The construction is reportedly for a slight extension of the Haunted Mansion’s facade. The update may be tangentially related to nearby work on the new Cars-themed Piston Peak National Park, which replaces Rivers of America and Tom Sawyer Island. With the construction of the new area, a new walkway will run directly between The Haunted Mansion and Big Thunder Mountain Railroad.

In the Piston Peak National Park concept art above, the Haunted Mansion is just out of sight in the lower right corner.
The Haunted Mansion remains open and operational. Watch our 4K ride POV video below:
