But wait — what's that you say? You have never ridden the Haunted Mansion? Then come along and take a ride.
To say this is a one-of-a-kind ride would be an understatement. Please keep in mind it only operates starting at 5 PM, to let the sun begin to set and give the ride an even more sinister look. Candles flicker around the facade while the queue line rapidly fills up. Now it's your turn as the next of six cars comes to a halt and you simply step into the comfortable car. |

You turn right and crash through a double set of red doors. There is a mirror in front of you as the car turns again to the right with a ghoul overhead. A small turn to the left and the car begins rising on the upslope, while guests are entertained by creepy artwork of a family along both walls. The car then crashes outside the building for a run next to the Tea Cups ride below, with another set of red crash doors ahead. But surprise — the car then slams into a secret entrance on the wall of the building and back into the darkness.

Here, there is another more mild upslope with a scene from a morgue on the left and an animated Frankenstein monster attacking you on the right, as lightning flickers in a mock window. There is also a classic grandfather clock stunt with a shrill whistling sound that gets you every time. Now in a large living room set with creepy wallpaper straight out of a B-grade horror movie, the cars begin crossing this area filled with glowing paintings, furniture, and a ghost playing a huge pipe organ. Suddenly another hidden passage opens up as a large bookcase swings backwards, then shuts abruptly once the car is inside.
