going to disneyworld in june.......horrible time i kno but i am gonna use this ride as an inatioation for my sister cause she's never gone on this ride
I ADORE THIS RIDE. I first went to Disney World when I was 5, and I went back in 2009. I am so very blessed in that I am leaving for Disney World tomorrow, to experience the magic again. So excited!
The Haunted Mansion at Walt Disney World is Far better than Disneyland Version by looking at the video indeed. The Disneyland one suck's the Walt Disney World rule's.
*Amazing* audio ! I wish YouTube didn't convert everything into two channel stereo...We're missing out on the incredible ambient sound that the mansion got with it's upgrade....
@charredsoul You can tell what their names are? What are the names of each of them and what do they look like? Next time I go on this ride (the next time I'm @ WDW or if I go to Disneyland), I want to make sure I know the names of the Hitchhiking Ghosts.
@SelenaGomezFan10001 Ezra is the tall skeletal skinny one. Gus is the short prisoner with the long beard and Phineas is the medium sized traveller with the round face,suitcase and top hat.
@SelenaGomezFan10001 Ezra has always been the hitchhiking ghost from what I can remember, but there may be aa servant named Ezra as well, I'll have to look it up.
The character played by Wallace Shawn in the 2003 movie was named Ezra as a reference. The three Hitchhiking Ghosts appear in the film, hitching a ride in a hearse where Jim Evers (Eddie Murphy) and his children are.
Now I don't think caretakers Emma and Ezra are in the ride, just the movie.
@charredsoul I know that. I saw the movie on here. I just noticed that one of the caretakers had the same name. I wasn't sure if it was a reference to one of the Hitchhiking Ghost or not. Thanks for the info.
Ours - "WDW" - is actually longer than than the one in DL. Though for years we didn't have the long hall that you guys have after the stretching room; where you see the paintings on the wall and the busts at the far end. But now we do, except ours is actually at the begging of our ride. I like it a lot better that way; it's kind of creepier (when rowdy teenagers aren't talking rudely that is.)
I remember when, instead of having the picture gallery and paradoxical staircase, they had a corridor filled with giant spiders tending to their webs.
U should have gotten a glance of the paintings in the dining hall area: They are shown shooting at each other. I think ithat's the ride I was talking about...
hey look at 3:42 to the far right of the table you can see the infamous plate hidden mickey the story is that there is a photo of a woman who died of cancer taped to the back of it because her kids asked them to remember all the good times they had with their mom
The audio alone gives this video 5 stars! I rode HM this past January and I noticed that since the refurbishment, the ride audio is also greatly improved. For years, there were parts of the ride where I couldn't hear the "Ghost Host" narration. Now, it's clear from start to finish. Thanks for capturing that very important effect.
The french one afraids me a lot but this one is better !!!
The french one is very similar but we don't have the library scene , we don't have the voice along the ride .
The bride of this haunted mansion is not very scary , in Disneyland Paris , our bride is scary , sing an very strange song , we see her three time and you can see her portrait
wow really? ive seen video of phantom manor in paris, and it looks amazing. i especially like the music. it appears that in the paris version, the bride is the victim, being killed by the phantom, but in our american version, the bride is actually the killer, as she has killed her 3 husbands by beheding them.
@artnandez: In the original story of the American Mansions, the bride was the victim of the Mansion's curse. Unfortunately, as cool as she is, the story Constance has--of being a Black Widow Bride who kills her husbands--doesn't work with the original story of the Mansion, since Master Gracy was already dead, having killed himself and leaving his corpse up in the rafters ("There's always my way").
when i first rode this at age 6, it scared the heck out of me. too keep myself occupied and from freaking out too much, i tried to count the number of ghosts to see if there really was 999, but it was a lost cause from the start because i couldn't count higher than 20...
still it was fun the second time i went through becuase at least then i knew i wasn't going to die. what can i say, i was 6 and i believed the disembodied voice.
*sigh* one of my favorite rides at WDW. Was there in November '08, already miss being there :P Stupid Disney, making the most addictive theme parks lol, damn them and their awesomeness!!
When you pass by the glowing eyes on the wallpaper, i can see tubes and wires, are you seeing throught the wallpaper with the nightvision, or are they really there. It is even more visible in other videos
All HD cameras will come with methods/software to import the footage into a video editor. From there its just a matter the rendering the video to a format/resolution that YouTube accepts.
Deserves to be featured. This ride is *very* difficult to video because it's so dark even with "nightshot" mode. My own personal video using "nightshot" is daaaaaarrrrrrk, green, daaaaaarrrk, green, etc. It's not worth watching. I'd love to know how you manage to get the whole ride visible, but I'm sure you want to keep that secret to yourself.
Also, the "ride" feeling is very good. When I watch it, I really feel like I'm on the ride again.
As an HM fan, I've looked at just about every Haunted Mansion ride video on YouTube (including your previous one) and this is by FAR the best one I've seen. I love the spooky old movie atmosphere, the great audio, and the outside shot of the house. I've always been focused on the inside and I've never noticed just how cool the mansion is from the outside at night. Great work, keep it up!!
where is everyone? no one else is in the doombuggy.
