This great ride celebrated its 53rd. anniversary in the first park yesterday, August 9th!

I'm completely on your side about keeping the Haunted Mansion as original as possible. They're making another Haunted Mansion movie with Guillermo del Torro as director, and while I'm sure it's going to be amazing, I really hope they don't let it influence any changes they make to the ride the way they did with Pirates of the Caribbean!

Aaron Dutra kids like being scared. When I was young it was so amazing to see the first time. It and pirates was all I could think of. Scary stuff actually helped my imagination as a kid. No kid wants to see lame family friendly attractions

One of my best memories are from this ride . We kept hearing ppl scream when we were in line and i thought it was wierd. When we got to the hall part of the ride i noticed the new suit of armor but didnt think anything of it but right when our car got next to it the damn thing lunged at me . I screamed bloody murder and the guys in the car behind us laughed their ass off !

I love the haunted mansion, they put back the silhouette playing the piano guy. Super cool !!!!

I was disappointed that they tossed the pop-up ghosts as it was the only part of the ride that I ever thought of as being "scary". I also thought the bride with the glowing red heart was always memorable and was confused as to why they removed her.

I read the backstory its actually pretty horrifying the backstory is basically she was a money whore i think that was the case what she kept on doing is getting married and chopping off the heads of her husbands that's why she's always weilding an axe and the pictures altered to the heads being removed

I love how the Claude Coats' train of thought for a darker scarier haunted mansion was later echoed by imagineer Jeff Burke, and how a much darker and grim version of the Haunted Mansion found it's way to Europe in the form of Phantom Manor in Disneyland Paris. You can still see how Phantom Manor's design also harkens back to earlier designs by Harper Goff. Phantom Manor or "Ravenswood Manor" as it is unofficially known has quite a tragic backstory, and lacks most of the whimsical elements the Original American versions have. It is funny to see how all these versions have similar, yet different themes.

My family often visits Disneyland in the fall around November. We rarely catch the Haunted Mansion open, but when we do it's one of our favorites.

I got to see the Haunted Mansion in early August 1969.. long line to get in, but it was great.

The pop up ghosts in the cemetery are still there. They were never removed, they just have a tendency to break down a lot so they might not be working on any given day.

I remember when I was working at Arrow Development, the Haunted Mansion "stretch room" was being designed and the cars that the people rode in were being made in the fiberglass dept. Good times back then.

My folklore professor in college had that Knight job for a while. It was one of his favorite gigs because it was the one time he was finally allowed to scare the shit out of kids, something he always wanted to do in all of his other costumed jobs in the park.

This dark ride rocks. My parents and I like the Hatbox Ghost even though he's supposed to be a bizarre spirit. PLEASE upload a Skyway history video for Disneyland when you get a chance.

It's my favorite ride for sure, especially during the Halloween to Christmas season.

Yes, I have been addicted to the haunted mansion for 2 months now and I rode the Disneyworld version back in 2011, and I loved it, now I want to go back and see it again, or go to California

Haunted Mansion is one of my most favorite rides!

That old color footage of the coffin looked great!

“Grim’s Grinning Ghosts.” ....BOOOOOOY! 👋🏻

I kinda miss the popup ghosts in the attic that said "I DO!!," they scared the crap out of me, but were still fun.

Great video man! You make some of the most unique content on this site and the quality of every video just keeps getting better, hope you keep putting up more great vids.

Happy 50th anniversary to the Haunted Mansion!

Excellent overview of one of my favorite Disney attractions. I hope they never shut this down or mess it up.

I only saw the knight one time in all the years I was regularly going to Disney Land. He gave me a high-five.

Going to have nightmares about the Tiki Room's "Under New Management" thing now, thanks for that. ;p Great video, in any case!

Really good video mate! Haunted Mansion has never been one of my top 5 DL rides but it's undoubtedly a classic and I think the more I learn about it the more I like it!

This video is great! The original Disneyland Haunted Mansion is my all-time favorite Disney ride. I agree -- I hope it continues to keep it's original storyline and Disney keeps it pretty close to the way it's been since it's opening. Thanks for the awesome video!

Very interesting but how did you not include the gun shot in the dancing scene and how the only way to replace that glass is to take the roof off? That is like my favorite trivia about the ride.

@satanicsuicide666

5 жыл бұрын

When I went to California a few years ago, I rode this version of the ride multiple times just to see if I could spot where the glass was hit. I love how they fixed it on the cheap too! Instead of ripping off the roof, and closing the ride for months to repair. they put a fake plastic spider on it and left it as is because it looked like a spiders web. I think it was a brilliant idea, and a very cheap yet effective way to fix the ride without closing it down for months on end! :D

Tot (original): the big brother of the California adventure's Tot(gotg now) and the cousin of the haunted mansion Quite a family tree

When I saw this I had to watch it! Thanks for always making the best videos!

Great ride and love the fact that each park has one and all have a different story.

this is really great and interesting and I enjoyed it quite a lot! But mostly i wanted to comment to say thank you for including captions in your video - I have an audio processing disorder and while i don't always have trouble, your speed made it nearly impossible for me to follow without them. I clicked them on a whim not expecting to find any, or just the auto-captioning (which is never good) and I was pleasantly surprised to find actual captions! This means a lot to me and definitely gets you my subscription. :)

The haunted Mansion is my most favorite ride in the world!

My one visit to Disneyland so far was in May 1977, for high school grad night. The Haunted Mansion was the one ride I was not going to miss, no matter what, and it was pretty good.

Just found your channel yesterday and i have already binged most of your videos. Can't wait to see more. Only ride suggestions are Back to the Future in orlando (that was my favorite growing up), and Pirates of the Carribean. Though i am sure i am not the first to ask for those.

The history of the fast pass could be cool too!! We love all of these!! Keep going!

Dude your videos are so cool! I’m addicted to them it’s so interesting haha thanks for doing them 👍🏻👍🏻

I love your videos! I would really love to see one on DisneyQuest one of these days

I find it interesting how the Mystic Manor, Disneyland Hong Kong's version of the Haunted Mansion, shows more light-hearted elements that was more child-friendly spooky. But if you go over to Disneyland Paris, the ride is WAYY more dark and gritty, and it has more disturbing visuals. (everyone should really watch a video on both and compare them)

Another great video! Love your work, keep it up!

Please post more often! I love these videos! This is one of my favorite channels on KZread.

As for the bride changes, I would have mentioned that the tone of the bride was significantly changed in the 90's. Before, she was mysterious; you weren't sure if she was sympathetic or threatening. The change in the 90's made it much clearer that she was sympathetic. The picture at 9:32 is one of WDW's brides.

I was on the opening crew of the Haunted Mansion in '69. Hot summer, 100% wool three piece suits and two and half hour wait time. Fond memories tho. I was in the picture front and center of the promo for the opening. When on the ticket (E) collection part of the rotation, I would respond to the "what ticket does it take?" (dumb question) with, "E and as in eucalyptus". Loved the blank stares.

I love your videos! please keep making more!

When riding this at DisneyWorld the pop ghosts got me every damn time lol.

I was originally going to watch this video in October but I chose to watch Offhand Disney's Halloween special about The Haunted Mansion instead. That doesn't mean that this video was bad though. It was informative and entertaining. It's just that I wanted to wait until the 1 year anniversary of its upload. That was today! 🎂

Excellent video. Informative and interesting! Cheers!

Notifications of your new videos are music to my ears.

Love the video and all the research you put into it! Your VO read was a little fast. Overall very entertaining.

I would love to see an episode on Delta Dreamflight in the Magic Kingdom. Always a favorite of my family's whenever we'd go. So weirdly out of place to have an EPCOT-esque dark ride tucked away in Tomorrowland.

Fantastic video, well done research

I always have loved this ride. I always wait for the ballroom scene. It's my favorite.

I love this ride! It even speaks to me in my dreams!

Fantastic video!

It's brilliant. I've been twice from UK and enjoyed it both times. Luv and Peace.

I believe that Madame Leota’s floating effect came from the 2003 movie!

Keep doing videos they're great

We’ll done video, sir. Random fun fact: the Knight is still a Cast Member at the Disneyland Resort.

That was a great video!

I went on it a couple of years ago, and it had been ruined it for me. The ride now goes twice as fast! You don't get to see the whole seance, they rush you through it. The long ride was worth the wait, you really felt gratified at the end. Now it just flies by.

Love this video

I have always been obsessed with the Haunted Mansion, since I was a kid...and this is an excellent history of the attraction. I adore the ride so much, I had always wanted to create my own version of it, just a tad more 'adult'...and I finally determined a way to do it...all as miniature, fully working sets with FX and all, filmed with a mini DV camera, made to look like a POV 'on ride' video...can't post a link here (KZread blocks links now) but just look for 'Daark Valley Orphanage' on my channel, would love to hear your take on the project...and thanks for the well made video...

It would be cool if they brought back the cast member knight

I about crapped my pants as a kid when the hitchhikers came on board. I do know that the effect was completely changed last time I went though

Every time I have gone to Disneyland, it's always been in the autumn or winter time, so it's always been Nightmare Before Christmas themed. (which I thought was kinda dippy) So I have never gotten to experience the "vanilla" version of the ride.

Can you do a ride history on the Tokyo Disney Sea Tower of Terror And Paris Tower of Terror too?

Well done video!

I knew a man who helped design the ride in another disney park. His name was mr. Caldwell.... he was a teacher at my high school. He had the blueprints proudly displayed on his wall and talked fondly of it.

I think my favorite room in the Haunted Mansion has always been ever since I was a kid it has always been the ballroom dance. Because I knew these were all animatronics but of course I had a vivid imagination so I always try to keep the immersion but what really inspired me was seeing the transparent dancing ghosts I had no idea what that was... you can't make a robot invisible! It really was the thing that I always remember most I forgot all about the bride and the singing busts it was seen those ballroom dancing ghosts that I remember in my childhood

I have to admit, putting the Victorian mansion in Frontier Land was a smart move, particularly when it got its renovation to an Antebellum style.

I'm still excited for the new Haunted Mansion movie that's suppose to come at some point, probably in the next year or two, and will hopefully be better than that really bad one from awhile back

Thanks for the info...🍻

It's worth mentioning that that suit of armor seen at the beginning of the ride, to the right of the endless hallway, has been there since the opening- and wasn't added in the 80s to replace the short lived live actor.
