So I'm assuming the coffin and the pocket watch aren't available to purchase anywhere?

Nope, they were only available for sale at the event... your best bet would be eBay.

That Coffin does look awesome, amazing detail. It has a light-up function?

Yup! It lights up green AND if you wind the key on the back, the hands push the coffin lid up and down, just like in the ride. It's an amazing piece!

has anyone posted what this sold for at the park?

The pocketwatch was $150 and the coffin was $75. Both items are in the $200-$250 range on the aftermarket. If you can get the coffin for $200 or less, it's still really worth it! The pocketwatch looks really cool, but anything more than $150 isn't worth it in my opinion.

I wants the coffin...

That coffin is incredibly cool, that and the séance portion of the ride were always my fave.

I just returned from a 2-day trip to Disneyland,
Wow!! The NBX Hunated Mansion rocks!! What an awesome makeover!! Of course, the original will always be the best!
Still, I think they did an amazing job adapting the existing ride to the NBX world!
I'll post a few pics soon!
!
I was disappointed that I couldn't find the Jim Shore piece anywhere...

I'm not a big fan of Nightmare Before Christmas, but I would really like to see the ride like that.

 

[jsjedi]

are they going to do that to the haunted mansion in florida? The NBX theme I mean. If it is for the holidays only it might be cool for a change.

 

[Aerosmith]

So far it's just a Disneyland thing.

 

[Agent0028]

I heard they won't do it in Florida because we're a bigger vacation destination and it might piss alot of people off. I don't know if that's really the reason, and I don't know if it would upset that many people that much, but it does make some sense.

 

[Aerosmith]

Nightmare needs it's own ride anyway.

 

[GrueSam]

I obviously LOVE the Mansion ride... but I fully admit to also loving NBC and enjoying the yearly holiday makeover.
And every year they add more and more so there's always fun stuff to look for.

From what I heard, it's not so much people would be ticked off at a NBX makeover in Florida, but rather the many people that travel to Walt Disneyworld from outside of the U.S. just wouldn't understand/get the NBX theme.

Personally I LOVE seeing the haunted mansion here in CA all decorated up. Was there a little over week ago, had to ride it twice. Going again on on Wed, where I'm sure I'll ride it again at least two or more times.

 

[jsjedi]

wish they would do it here in florida for the season at least. it would be nice.

 

[GrueSam]

I finally scored the Jim Shore piece!

 

[Aerosmith]

Awesome! I still need to get one of those.

 

[Kuzeh]

Awesome Sam!!!
I still need to get that one!!!

BTW,
here's a few belated pics of the NBX Mansion!!!
