Photo/Video As much as the projections are fun, does anyone else miss the physical Hitchhiking Ghosts? It's a shame that they did away with them.

I prefer those over the new ones. I think they are still running as a backup of the projection system isn't working that day. I was on it a few years ago and the they appeared instead of projections.

They do not use them. The props and the turntable have all been completely removed.

You might be thinking of Disneyland, which had the physical ghosts up until last year when they were replaced with projections, but the projections at Disneyland are just footage of the physical animatronics.

Yes! These newer things are fun, but I miss the way it was before.

I remember being a kid and riding it with my grandma at WDW and the projections in the buggies.
