I was simply trying to point out that that seemed very highly unlikely that The Haunted Mansion is 10 Stories Tall.
Some are upside-down, some are tilted, and some feature footsteps and candles as well as entrances to doors. Prior to in the Florida version, right after you climbed the staircase, you entered a pitch-black room and saw giant spiders on spiderwebs on either side of you before passing the Endless Hallway and entering the Corridor of Doors.
These were replaced by the blinking eyes that fade into the wallpaper effect that is in place now, although the spiders remain in the Tokyo version. The spiders themselves in the Florida version were repainted to appear more exotic, and make a reappearance in the Jungle Cruise. There was also early concepts circulating this area that would have the area much more riddled with cobwebs with either a corpse or a screaming man, with the screaming man rumored to have been in the ride but quickly removed due to being too frightening.
Concepts for the corpse ensnared in cobwebs exist, though the screaming man's existence has never been confirmed. These stairs seem strikingly similar to M. C Escher's " Relativity " painting, in which staircases are everywhere and appear to defy physics and perspective.
The Mystery House itself is a vast maze-like mansion in which stairs seem to lead nowhere, doors open up to walls, and a lot of rooms appear to be false due to the original owner's superstitious belief. Walt Disney had originally visited the house and had an idea for a physics defying room for his haunted attraction project which later became the Haunted Mansion.
Coincidentally, the Winchester Mystery House is also considered haunted. From here, the guests travel up a staircase and begin the guided tour of the house. They pass an endless hallway, through the music room, and a conservatory containing a coffin whose occupant is trying to get out. They then travel down a corridor of doors. Finally, the guests' attention is directed towards a large grandfather clock which is striking thirteen as an eerie shadowy hand passes by.
After the corridor of doors, guests move into a seance circle, hosted by Madame Leota - a disembodied head inside of a crystal ball. After this encounter, it seems that the happy haunts "have received your sympathetic vibrations and are beginning to materialize. In the ballroom, the Doom Buggies pass a ballroom where ghosts dance in mid-air through the use of "Pepper's Ghost" an effect from the Victorian era which makes figures appear ghostly. Also taking place in the ballroom is a birthday party and with each effort of the birthday girl to blow out the candles, the rest of the figures sitting at the table disappear and reappear.
There are also two ghostly gunmen coming out of their portraits to fire their guns at each other. An important part of Disney history is located in this scene. The pipe organ on the far left of the scene is the original prop from the film, 20, Leagues Under the Sea.
Prior to the construction of the attraction, it had been on display in an attraction in Tomorrowland. A ghostly organist plays upon the instrument as banshee heads float from their pipes. Guests enter the attic, where they are shown wedding portraits of Constance Hatchaway --a bride with a terrible habit of murderous decapitating her husbands. This May 3 , change to the attic scene is quite possibly the most ambitious to date.
The previous versions of the scene were lit with black lights and fluorescent paint. Ghouls and shrunken heads on vertical lines attached to the floor and ceiling would occasionally pop out from inside their boxes with help from blasts of compressed air.
A faceless ghostly bride with glowing blue eyes and red pulsing heart rocked slowly back and forth near the exit to the graveyard scene. The changes include some groundbreaking optical effects and a considerably darker storyline.
In the new scene, wedding gifts are neatly stacked throughout the attic along with five corresponding wedding portraits.
The bride, whose name is Constance with her body played by Julia Lee and voiced by Kat Cressida , is the same in each portrait, with her husband being different each time.
In each portrait, the head of each husband slowly disappears and reappears as the bride admits to doing each of them in. The new bride, now appearing to the left of the scene's exit, utilizes sophisticated digital video projection inside a mannequin in a manner similar to Madame Leota to present the bride and her confessions.
A hatchet appears and disappears in her hands throughout her monologue. Just before they exit the attic, the guests come face to face with the Hatbox Ghost , whose head disappears from his body and reappears in the hatbox that he's holding in his hand, which is achieved through a lighting effect.
From here, the guests descend down to a graveyard full of " Grim Grinning Ghosts " who have come out to "socialize. A band of musicians is playing, a quintet is singing, and many other spooks are enjoying the "swinging wake". A skeletal wolf can be seen in the background, howling into the sky. From here, the guests enter the crypt and are issued this warning: "Beware of Hitchhiking Ghosts.
Guests pass a group of mirrors where a ghost seems to sit right in the Doom Buggy. Afterward, they arrive at the unload area. After the guests' exit out of the Doom Buggies, they pass through the remainder of the crypt and see the " Ghost Hostess " unofficially dubbed by WED as "Little Leota" , who eerily invites the guests back and reminds them to bring their "death certificates" the next time they come.
She also tells them to hurry back. Though the setting is spooky, the mood is kept light by the upbeat "Grim Grinning Ghosts" theme which plays throughout the ride. The music was composed by Buddy Baker and the lyrics written by X Atencio. The deep voice of Thurl Ravenscroft sings as part of a quartet of singing busts in the graveyard scene. Ravenscroft's face is used as well, as it is projected onto one of the busts, specifically one with a detached head.
Spooky sound effects such as a coyote and wolf howl can be heard. The other incarnations of the ride are very similar but have their differences. It is the only ride to appear in each of the Disney theme parks in a different location in the park. The Florida version is located in Liberty Square and has a New England facade, likely because the intention there was to base the attraction around the story of Ichabod Crane and the Headless Horseman.
Tokyo Disneyland placed the attraction in Fantasyland. The Paris version is in Frontierland , named Phantom Manor, and features different music although it still contains the "Grim Grinning Ghosts" theme , an Old West theme, and a more cohesive storyline than the other three versions an opening narration by Vincent Price was recorded but not used, and is available on the soundtrack.
The Florida and Tokyo versions still have a stretching octagonal room to greet their guests, though in these three the ceiling actually raises instead of the floor moving; there was no need to use an elevator in those Mansions. Beginning in , the California version is redecorated from September just prior to Halloween until just after the new year into Haunted Mansion Holiday , featuring characters from The Nightmare Before Christmas. In , the Tokyo version received a copy of the overlay called "Haunted Mansion Holiday Nightmare".
On October 21 , , a bidder on a Disney-sponsored auction on eBay won the right to be the first non-Disneyland employee to have his name added to an attraction.
