- The Haunted Mansion is a dark ride that opened at Disneyland on August 9th, 1969, at Magic Kingdom on October 1st, 1971, and at Tokyo Disneyland on April 15th, 1983. Taking a gloomy Doom Buggy for an eerie tour through a haunted estate full of 999 happy haunts, the attraction is considered by many fans to be one of the most outstanding theme park rides ever created due to its atmosphere, story, score, audio-animatronics, and special effects.

He’s back, the legend himself, Theme Park History is back when we needed him most 🙏
Grim Grinning Ghosts from this ride is still a yearly banger for Halloween season

Absolutely
Its been a while. I hoped that your channel didn't permanently become one happy haunt. Glad to have you back!
Hey happy Halloween day to Disney 100th birthday party anniversary celebration party years ago New happy haunts
It's looks convenient for context for conjuring movie same place looks Joey King she was Chrisne parrey she was hosting Halloween costume haunted concert in California with conjuring movie part in
I'll never forget going on this ride with some friends as a kid. Once we were seated in our Doom Buggy, one of my friends instantly grabbed the safety bar and forced it down. Then the "Ghost Host" says "Do not pull down on the safety bar, please! I will lower it for you!" My friend then panicked and forced it back up. Then it wouldn't come back down, so he grabbed it but it was stuck. A ride host dressed as a butler then came along, pushed the bar down, and completely in character drones *DON'T DO THAT AGAIN* sounding like Lurch from The Addams Family! Great memories!
I miss you, Jack.
When I was six years old, I rode the Disneyworld haunted mansion. It began a fascination with ghosts, cryptids, and the paranormal in general that lasts to this day. Nine years later, at fifteen, I conducted my first paranormal investigation, and forty years later, I still chase ghosts whenever I get the chance. I've seen quite a lot of things in that time, and I won't stop until I'm a ghost myself.
It's looks like talking about galya peeva she was 6 or 10 year old girl galya peeva she feels like almost top of her own life story ture life movie made in USA today TV series finale season start show hollywood story life look back at movie ever seen in movie theater in new ride Disney world and Disneyland before New year would have been there since flash back past life look back at
I can't remember how old I was but when I was a kid my uncle used to watch tales from the crypt and I'd always watch the intro. And when I first went to Disneyland we probably did the haunted mansion like 20 times just because it reminded me of the tales from the crypt lol
ED and Lorraine on chrah on existencm terms as contact information on James wan knows all about haunted mansion hunting haunted house since ghost hunters
I hope Jack is brave enough to review an even scarier attraction, "Superstar Limo."
ha ha that attraction scarier than it is stupid.
now that gives me nightmares
It's sad Disney doesn't still employ talent like this. Disney relies so much on IP's today, it just feels like a cold corporate showcase instead of the mesmerizing and unique rides they once thought up. I doubt many people today could come up with some of these timeless attractions like Haunted Mansion, Horizons, Pirates of the Caribbean, and Carousel of Progress
I remeber when Disney refurbished the californian Hollywood Tower of Terror into a generic Guardians of the Galaxy ride, like wtf 💀💀
Wasn't tower of terror twilight zone ip?
Yea, it was
Welcome to life in the 21st century.
I reckon there are still talented imagineers working at Disney. I bet some of them are frustrated as well.
I still believe Walt's greatest mistake was not allowing the outside to be themed like a real haunted house.
I feel, like the Haunted mansion is errie with it's unrealistic perfection!
@@stardustgirl2904Ed and Lorraine Warren on existencm terms
Well, there's always Phantom Manor in DLP for that.
I always made time for the Haunted Mansion when I went to Disney World. It's not scary to me, but I love the atmosphere. Never did see the Jack Skellington version.
That’s Jack Skellington, not Jack Skeleton.
Really?
@@stephenkostiak3929 Thanks for the correction.
Does anyone know how I can find the full version of what was in the beginning of the video (the two kids and tree things) or what that vhs was called?
They did make plans for it. After the huge success of the overlay over in Disneyland, they decided on planning for the overlay for the Disney World version. But unfortunately it never happened at all, because fans of the ride weren't too happy that they were going to close it down while they were going to decorate for the holiday overlay for Halloween and Christmas. Because they already made the overlay décor for it, they decided to ship it over seas to Tokyo Disneyland and use it there...
Where’d you go man I miss these
My aunt was an employee hired as an artist at WDW decades ago who's main job was to draw caricatures..
They took those numerous artists around the park to help add to the addition of the expanding work 4
This is my favorite ride (despite being terrified of it as a kid xD), it has the most interesting storyline of all the attractions (Guillermo del Toro was going to be involved in the 2023 movie and I know he and only he would have made the story justice, now I just hope this film is going to be at least a fun watch).
ANYHOW IT'S GOOD TO HAVE YOU BACK THIS IS ONE OF MY ABSOLUTE FAVORITE CHANNELS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I do hope you cover Phantom Manor, because that one's story is so good, I love how it's connected to the land
OH SO GOOD.

I hated this one as a kid. I love it now though
@poopee5102 I don't know if anyone has answered this but search "Sing along songs, Disneyland Fun". Have fun!
@@poopee5102 Disneyland Fun. One of the Disneyland Sing-Along-Songs videotapes. Several versions of it are already uploaded to CZcams by Disney CZcams uploaders.
So cool. I never noticed so many of the details because there is so much to look at! There is history for Madame Leota too. She was an imagineer. I can't recall her full history but it was interesting connecting the graveyard and trying to replace the head
Leota Toombs was an Imagineer who worked on rides such as Country Bear Jamboree and Splash Mountain. She provided the face for Leota while Eleanor Audley was the voice. However, Ms. Toombs did provide her own face and vocals for Little Leota, the figure at the end of the ride who tells us to "bring our death certificates"
The Haunted Mansion has been my favorite ride since my first Disneyland trip at 5 years old. It made me laugh to learn that my husband did not feel the same about it on his first trip at the age of 9. 😂
Welcome foolish mortals to Theme Park History! The channel with everything to do with theme parks! Love this Jack. Waiting on the Buzz Lightyear rides and Midway Mania.
Midway Mania would be really cool
@@epicindustries1939 i love those rides
I am STILL waiting for his video on “The Cat in The Hat.”
@@jonathanwallis3300 Too obscure for me.
Midway Mania is one of my favorite rides in California Adventure! I’d love to see the history of that!
I had the VHS tape that first clip was part of when I was a kid. I believe it was made to advertise the parks. The Haunted Mansion section was my favorite part and I'd watch it on repeat. Totally forgot about it until seeing that clip wow.
Please....how I can find the full version of what you are talking about. I had the same vhs and I also watched it countless times and that haunted mansion part was also my favorite. I must watch it again. I know I can more than likely find it on CZcams just don't remember of what this one was called ( the two kids exploring the park )
@@poopee5102 Disney Sing Along Songs Disneyland Fun in HD! (title on youtube uploaded 4 years ago)
We need him back :(
It's great to hear a video from you because I'm guessing you put a lot of time and effort into these videos. Making sure that we have all the facts. And I know how hard it probably is to try and make these videos when it's hard to talk about rides that haven't already been talked about
Does anyone know how I can find the full version of what was in the beginning of the video (the two kids and tree things) or what that vhs was called? Maybe a CZcams link...
I always go back to Harper Goff's original sketch.
And I've honestly felt that the storyline really works. You have the creepy atmospheric chilling beginning and then once all the ghosts are summoned you have the big ol crazy party
i miss this guy
Great video! I had a great-great-grandmother named Leota and a lot of people in her town believed she was a witch, so the fact that the Haunted Mansion has a Madam Leota is always amusing to me.
I'm very interested by the advertisement's explanation that "Walt was worried that the ghosts from the old houses torn down for the freeways would disappear if they didn't have a place to haunt." Like, such a weird backstory the buildings theming.
Oh man that opening was mega nostalgia lol! Those dancing trees creeped me out so much as a kid 😂
Same!!! 😅

@@poopee5102 i had the vhs. It was a Disney Halloween movie I think. It creeped me out as a kid
anyone know if he is done done, i went to look him up on x and he's not on there anymore, his content is the best
Glad to see you back! One of the best content creators on this platform
For sure!

Where have you gone my old friend…. Your videos have brought so many dreams and memories come back to life and I miss watching new content! Miss you brother. Hope we can get more videos from you soon
I kinda consider myself an expert on Disney’s Haunted Mansion but you’ve included some photos and footage I haven’t seen before. Thanks!
Yesssss I’ve been waiting years for that theme park history video even my comment is shown, it’s one of my favorite rides ever at Disneyland, good timing before the new film adaptation
“Nopeing the hell out of the attic,…” is the best thing I’ve heard today.
Welcome back and amazing video on the Haunted Mansion. It's too bad that Disney never got to see this iconic attraction come to fruition, but here's to hoping it continues on its legacy.
As for the next Theme Park History video, I'd like to see one of the Tokyo DisneySea version of Tower of Terror since, unless the ones from the other parks, that has nothing to do with the Twilight Zone TV series.
yeah. the japanese people have never heard of The Twilight zone tv show before so they have to make a completely new and original storyline.
Oh no, did this channel die? It's been 11 months since we got an upload
The king has returned
Alright!

Roley is one of my favorite imagineers and I’m so sad we lost him earlier this year-but glad he lived long! :)
Yeah, March 23.LOVED that Museum of the Weird (I still believe the floating candles are his idea!)
Welcome back Theme Park History we missed you! Love the way you’d opened the video with a clip from Disneyland Fun grim grinning ghosts.
Does anyone know how I can find the full version of what was in the beginning of the video (the two kids exploring the park) along with the tree things music video what that vhs was called? Maybe a CZcams link... I must watch it again 😄
I've watched many videos about the Haunted Mansion and every time, I learn something new. This is a nice dive into the development of this attraction. It's my all-time favorite at the parks. I've been on the Disneyland and Magic Kingdom versions, and I hope one day to ride all the others!
I’m gonna say it: the haunted mansion movie was pretty good. The set design and special effects were great (the mausoleum scene is a highlight.) I think that if Eddie Murphy had toned down how silly his performance was, it would have been a much better movie (if he was more serious, and less over-the-top, it would enhance the scary elements and make the silly bits contrast better.)
Honestly, give it another shot and you might like it more than you expect!
I love how this never gets old, no matter how many times you hear how it became.👍
15:12 this make sense, because the 5 freeway is right next to Disneyland. You can't hear during operating hours...our unless your on the train and keep an ear out for it (which Disney did very well covering up). 👏👏👏👏
Oh God that intro of the kids staring at the haunted mansion. It makes me feel old😂i remember watching it on vhs almost daily and I would always cover my eyes since I found that segment scary.
The return of Theme park history welcome back to the youtube theme park alliance.
HES BACK!!!! 🎉
Wait, the Hatbox Ghost is going to be in my state's Haunted Mansion? How ghoulishly delightful.
When I went to Hong Kong, I made a point to ride Mystic Manor as many times as possible, around 8 times when I went there :) it really was a worthy tribute to the Haunted Mansion without the ghostly theme. There are many easter eggs and homages to the Haunted Mansion in the ride but it truly does stand out as one of the best Disney rides, sadly far less better known than the Haunted Mansions and Phantom Manor.
Oh MAN, DID I EVER need THIS TODAY!! You helped make a Terrible day a Little bit better! Thanks so much!
AND HE RETURNS LETS GOOOOOO
Great to see you back
Okay, I heard the tune of Luigi's Mansion playing in this. My day has been made. Thank you, Theme Park History
Bravo man bravo. You've made my weekend! Welcome back
THE THEME PARK LEGEND IS BACK
0:22 jfc that vhs was such a staple of my childhood, you just unlocked a CORE memory
Respect for how long he takes to put these videos out.
He's back! Let's goooo
That opening takes me back to my childhood, watching the disney sing along vhs with that haunted mansion bit.
Does anyone know how I can find the full version of what was in the beginning of the video (the two kids and tree things) or what that vhs was called? Maybe a CZcams link...
I LOST it a "noping the hell out of the attic!" GREAT video!
This was 1 of those rides that terrified me as a kid, but quickly became 1 of my favorites as an adult. I hope this ride never changes.
w wa q
It's barely ever changed since opening. All that they did was update some effects and bring in a different bride.
The mention of old homes being destroyed to build highways (a terrible act of government they named Urban Renewal) in a video by Disney was eye opening to me. I know that was just part of a script, but it’s a terrible part of our country’s history. Related, I’ve always thought Main Street was included as a shady response to urban renewal.
Could you do an episode on the Pirates of the Caribbean? I think it'd be interesting because of how it was Walt Disney's last attraction and how much the ride changed over time because of the movies
I recall the terrible monorail death as well. To their credit Disney World tries very hard to keep everyone safe at great expense. Each of their characters have one or more dedicated staff watching over them and they appear to go the extra mile to prevent any accidents. They also make a huge effort to ensure people who have food allergies are safe as well. Not just the common shellfish and peanut allergies but any type of food allergy. As money gets tight in the next few months they may be tempted to cut corners. Lets hope not.
Now there’s an iconic ride history
Welcome Back! And also covering one of the undisputed greatest rides ever made. Awesome!
As someone who grew up with the Eddie Murphy film before becoming a fan of the ride and of the Disney parks, I still really enjoy it and it makes me sad that more fans of the ride do not. It's such a prolific film in my life and it's one of the ones I can turn to for comfort. Like-- it's good and y'all are just mad because it doesn't follow the ride to a T.
Thank you! These are my thoughts on the film too. It was one of my favorite movies to watch growing up and it was also what introduced me to the haunted mansion ride as well. It’ll always have a place in my heart.

That and Eddie Murphy's comedy doesn't fit the tone that should be a HAUNTED MANSION film, which should, by all rights, focus on the 999 Grim Grinning Ghosts, NOT some outsider visitors, because that's what the audience/guests are supposed to be.
I love the little jokes and/or comments made during this video! "Noping the hell out of the attic" and the thing about the passes both made me chuckle, LOL
Also, I liked the Eddie Murphy "Haunted Mansion" movie
Lol, for some reason, I had looked over the channel today, seeing when the last video was and behold, 2 hours later after that, the legend returns with another amazing video! Welcome HOME!
Those high prices are making Walt turn in his ghostly grave!!
Bro you haven’t posted in a year pls make another video
So happy you're back! Omg that sing-along is a staple of my childhood
just another great video!! thank you for it! ...part of me was hoping you'd go through all the changes in the attic through the years and the subtle changes to the storyline as it evolved, but i also know that would be an INSANE amount of work lol well done as always :)
Heck yeah, The theme park historian legend returns! Welcome back good sir, I’ve missed watching your videos so much! And, I would love to see an episode featuring The Riddler’s revenge from Six Flags!
When is the next video? This used to be my favorite channel back when uploads were consistent. I still go back and rewatch the older videos 😂
The legend! This is my fave channel. Thanks so much for your work on these videos.
It is so good to see stuff from you again! Missed you!
Jack, wherever you are and whatever you’re up to, I hope you’re doing well. We miss hearing your voice and these amazing videos but if you’re happy and healthy, more power to ya! ❤
Man, I remember seeing the opening video as a very little kid and thinking it was spookiest thing ever
The man, the myth, the legend has returned! Covering one of My favorite rides of all time! Today is a good day! Welcome back!
Great to have you back. I was having a bad day and then I saw your new video pop up and it changed my whole day so thank you
The intro was so nostalgic omg. I used to watch that tape almost everyday of my life as a child 😭
I didn’t bring my ticket today, and wasn’t expecting great content!
Loved this ride when I first rode it recently
One of the greatest Disney park rides
When I was 5 years old I was an extra in a Disney movie called Happy Hauntings. The movie was filmed at The Haunted Mansion.
So the attraction was closed for several weeks while filming took place.
That is awesome!
@ThemeParkHistory Great video on the Haunted Mansion. I’m so excited you used a snippet of my ride through video for your video essay. 22:04-22:27 Thank you for crediting it in your video, and glad your back creating excellent content on theme park attractions. Love your channel, and have been a subscriber for quite sometime.
Another amazing video! I had no idea about the Phantom and Mystic Manor variations, that's so interesting; I'd love to see a video covering those (even if it's much shorter)!
Excellent video!! One of the best explanations of a Disney ride I have ever seen!!!
Rolly was truly one of the greatest Imagineers. Thanks for everything 💙
So wonderful, I've seen a bunch of videos on this ride before but found a bunch of new things. Well done. Glad you're back
Welcome Back!! Feels good to watch a new video on this channel!
So happy to have a new Theme Park History video. Your channel is one of my favorites and I love your content. You have been missed🙏🏻
He's - he's alive! 😮 The prodigal son has returned!
Could you cover Pirates of the Caribbean?! I love that ride about much as the movies!! Makes me want to say that it is a pirate's life for me!!!🏴☠️🏴☠️
Love all your videos! Thanks for making them … been enjoying them for many years, cheers! 😊
FINALLY A HISTORY VIDEO ON HAUNTED MANSION!
So thankful to see a newly posted video! We missed you Theme Park History!
When the world needed him most, he came back... and with a video better than ever
One thing I think is pretty neat is that The Haunted Mansion opened the same year Scooby-Doo first premiered
that first clip is forever ingrained in my mind i remember having the sing along vhs tapes and watching it all the time because it was my favorite
Please make “The History of Adventures Through Inner Space at Disneyland in California.”
It’s great to have you back! I’ve always loved your videos and so happy to see another one uploaded!
Hi man, i hope that everything is alright.
I just want to say THANK YOU
I wonder how he is doing I hope he is ok
When are you going to release you're next video?
That version of the Haunted Mansion theme in the opening is my favorite!
Such a pleasure having this videos back!!❤
