When we took the Holiday Tour last month our hostess pointed it out to us and said it was Zero. I never noticed it before and thought it was a cool little addition.

I checked doombuggies.com & I couldn't find any info on this light/nose.

Just wondering, are you all talking about the same thing? The Bride has always been roaming the upper floor of the Mansion, visible at night as her candle light travels from window to window. But that's not a turret. Does the OP mean the very top of the house that is all glass and is topped by the ship weather vein? If so then that is new and could be/is Zero for the Holiday makeover.

The place where I saw the light (during the holiday version) was the all glass part just under the weather vane. I definatley didn't know about any moving light on the second floor, but that would make a lot more sense than up in the top, since there isn't any room there for a real person, especially one with a candle.

This reminds me of another effect from years past that no longer works: the sound of ghosts walking on the second floor balcony outside. It used to be that when you were in the part of the queue outside that was on the porch, you'd hear someone walking on the second floor balcony above. I'm not even sure if the queue these days still goes on that part of the porch, but I do remember from a few years ago when it did and the distinct "clicking" of someone walking above was gone. Does anyone else remember this?

The light has always been at the very top, not on the second floor. It can't be Zero for two reasons - it has been there since 1969, long before Zero was a figment of Tim Burton's imagination, and also because it is there all year, not just for NBC.

You are incorrect about the second floor Hostess. HM Host here from '80 to '88 and flickering candlelight was most definitely in the second floor windows during the entire time I was on that attraction. I have also been up in the turret and I don't recall any effects up there at that time.

There has never been a light in the glass tower on the very top before. There has always been a light that passes the 2nd story windows. If there is a light in the tower now it is new.

Thanks for the validation, doombuggy.

Hey, on a side note, just a question for you...Are there any plans to bring the stair/footsteps and wallpaper eyes effects here from the recent WDW update? Found those to be quite fun and effective.

When I worked Mansion in the late 80's - I remember of a light effect from the second floor - near each window there was a light bulb with a rotating coffee can thing over it that had a big hole's in the sides of each one = so in the evening the coffee can light things would turn in succestion - to give the illustion of a floating light. It seemed very primitive yet effective.
