  • A Fun traditional Haunted house ride at Knoebels Amusement Park in Elysburg, Pennsylvania. Admission is just $2.50 per rider. It's way better value and quality than the ripoff haunted house ride that you find at your local traveling carnival or county fair.
    Knoebels is America's Largest Free-Admission Amusement Park
    "Enter if you dare! Take a tour through the darkness of our Haunted Mansion, filled with suspense and surprise that'll have you jumping right out of your seat in fright! Our traditional haunted ride has been named a favorite for over 10 years by Dark Ride and Funhouse Enthusiasts!" - www.knoebels.com
    Video filmed August 2010

    This is such a great ride. I love it as much as the one at Disney, as "blasphemous" as that may be. What doesn't really show up in the video is how dark it is in there... and how sudden and close the gags are when they trigger. It's legitimately startling at times.

    I remember this ride like petrified me as a kid, and I haven’t gone on it in years. But the strange part is that I was the most scared of something that wasn’t even in the ride itself. Like I legit misremembered a giant omnipotent face taking up an entire wall near the end of the ride and that was why I refused to go on it on subsequent visits for years

    As a PA native, riding this was one of my biggest dreams at 6 years of age. Ended up almost having a mental breakdown after the train whistle (this video nor any will ever come close to how loud it is and how bright the lights are) and thought I was going to die on that ride. At 24 years old with a 6 year old of my own, I still feel the same way. Dont judge it until you try it! Haha
    **edit** I lived literally directly next to a train track (within 25-30 yards of my home) all my childhood and it would go by at 3am and could sleep soundly as a baby. Knobles really did a good job making it sound as loud if not louder than real ones, along with the lighting.

      At least Disney immersed you in the ride before you got on. Including having their cast members dress up and role play to the ride. Which made it kinda fun. Even more so when the cast members were having fun acting out their part.

    The story behind this "haunted" mansion is that an explorer has taken a cursed artifact from somewhere tropical (hence the jungle segment), and now, human abominations, spirits, witches, werewolves, and vampires haunt it. My guess is that this explorer probably invited several demonic entities to infest his home, conducted inhumane experiments on other human beings (2:05), and was overall involved with weird science long prior to taking that artifact home.

      I haven't been to Knoebels in about 20 years, but this was always one of the few rides excluded from the all-day passes. Because the park doesn't charge admission, you usually pay per ride, but the all-day passes allowed you to ride everything as many times as you liked... except the Haunted Mansion, which was always pay-per-ride.
      From what I recall, the reason it wasn't included on the pass was because teenagers would start vandalizing the props after multiple rides. Keeping it as a pay-per-ride attraction limited repeats, which led to far less vandalism.

    Geez this isn’t the haunted mansion I remembered. This is probably that house down the street from it. With less room and a crummy budget.

    Another good one ,lots of noise and the cars make fast corners in the dark and then flash bright lit up features ,excellent , worth 2.50 no doubt. good video whoever made it by the way also ,just sayin. .
