Haunted Mansion - What ring??

MerlinMatt · 04-26-2005

OK. I've clearly missed something here.

I've heard a number of references to a RING at HM.

What the heck is everyone talking about?

Now to me, this doesn't look like a ring. It looks like a hole for a gate pin. But make of it what you will.

What does the ring stand for? I am sure with Disney that it represents something.

OK. I've seen that before and I agree with you.... gate pin hole.

So why's everyone talking about it? Is there some kind of Disney folklore associated with it?

I thought Jenny had said it was supposedly thrown from the mansion by one of the ghosts....some story behind it. It's on DC somewhere.

The ring belonged to the bride in the attic that you see towards the end of the ride...she was supposed to be Master Gracy's wife to be...but met a tragic end. Legend has it that the ring fell off when they were taking her away to be buried...and as for her death...that differs sometimes...from being poisoned like in the movie or getting locked my Madame Leota (a jealous lover of Gracy's) in a trunk...where no one would hear her cries for help.

Another rumor is that the ring was thrown from the attic window and landed in the concrete. It's fun to use your imagination with this story.

If this "thing" was anywhere else, it would just be a hole for a gate pin, but at WDW, it is a ring.

EXACTLY!!!! In the World of Disney, we don't question these thing. We just smile and enjoy. Like a child.

Call me Mr. Myth-Buster. I'm afraid that Jeff is right. It's a gate post hole.

there is one very similar to that in back of the castle at DL, it is the very center of the original DL park.

If you guys don't mind, I'm gonna keep pretending it's a ring.

And after you see it, in seven days you're gonna die
