@@skinnysnorlax9356 I heard that a Haunted Mansion cast member job is the Holy Grail there. I know that Disney hires a lot of Goths, Pagans, Wiccans and other “marginalized” people because they’re the most creative people. And at the end of the day, that’s Disney’s stock and trade.
It looks really great. Leota's new hair hides the mechanic better and suggested swirling mists. The timings are mostly better and new Mummy. My only wish is someone would sort Constance out. Her head is so askew in both, she looks like demised herself by swinging upward one last time.
They definitely did that in California recently, probably in anticipation of the movie. We rode it and went WOW! They spent a LOT of time adding more detail and everything glows more.
I love the Haunted Mansion but there have always been some things about the DisneyWorld version that have bothered me. The Stretching Room scrim seems woefully misaligned in some of the corners. Master Gracey NEVER would have allowed such poor craftsmanship in the woodwork! The 7-8 busts in the Library always seemed to be a bit of overkill for me: too much of the same effect all over the place. How about ONE lifesize bust of Shakespeare (or Poe)? The jerky-armed piano player’s shadow needs to have more fluid movement and be synched to the soundtrack; how hard can that be? Love the Escher stairway room and blinking wallpaper. To me, Leota’s hair looks a bit too heavy to allow her to float around the room and it should be less defined around its edges. Right now it looks like a bad Marie Antoinette wig. And I know it’s a legacy screw up but would it kill them to have the men lead the women in the Ballroom? I take your bet not many people-if anyone-would actually notice (except for Offhand Disney perhaps...) And I’m not sure but it appears that there is no atmospheric scrim in the Graveyard? Everything seems to be in rather sharp focus as opposed to the foggy/blurry Graveyard in Anaheim. Despite these details, The Haunted Mansion will ALWAYS be my favorite ride.
Yes! You’d think after all these years, the janky piano player maquette would have been replaced by a projection, like the one in the attic. Still waiting for that “update”.
i was just there in june and it was working fine! It looks like among the other things they recently broke with this 3 day "refurb" the shadow playing the piano is another they broke, because his hands seem to be struggling, it's actually one of my favorite SFX in the ride because of it's practicality because it is actually physical props moving in front of a light shining on the floor which i will always prefer to some dumb video projection...
All the time they do an update I think they make it less scary. This time around the stretching room is too bright! You can see the illusion and that the walls are basically wall paper. When it was darker it looked real and mystical! The mumy looks like it has better articulation, but it goes by fast. I loved the timing of the stops. Great footage!
Nice but i thought they’d update the invisible ghost playing the piano that looks like a cardboard cut out jerking about with a projector image to look a bit realistic
Excellent camera work! I can't wait to go in November!!! 😁 Madame Leota looks especially gorgeous! My cat looks really scared right now 🤣🤣 I think it was the ringing bell
@@ClonedOriginalsme too, unfortunately some people are such babies they even talk about Snow White attraction traumatising them when they were 10. I went on the older version that was a lot scarier in the 80s when I was 8 and absolutely loved it as did everyone else, there’s a video of it on here and the amount of people saying they can’t believe something as “frightening” as that existed in the magic kingdom 🤦🏾
Ngl I’m kinda glad the ride stops at that one spot in the graveyard cuz I almost never see a clear shot of the royal ghosts on the seesaw! It’s very cute lol
Beautiful video, but does anyone else hate the way they redesigned the stretching portraits and frames a few years ago? It used to be convincing but their new way makes it so obvious and you can even see the 'roller' mechanism... and then in this video, you can see that even one of the portraits is wrinkled etc. I thought it was really good before. Maybe it was unreliable though. Everytime I ride the DL version (which is the same) I can't stop looking at how bad it is.
I DID NOT SEE THE HATBOX GHOST? IS HE BACK AT MAGIC KINGDOM? I HAVE THE ORIGINAL RIDE LP! I LOVE THE BALL ROOM, ESPECIALLY THE ORGAN!! THEY GOT RID OF SOMUCH SINCE 1979, MY LAST TIME THERE AND PROBALY WILL BE MY LAST! THEY EVEN MESSED UP THE COUNTRY BEAR! I NEVER SHOT VIDS (IT WAS NOT AROUND IN THE 70'S. BUT I HAVE AUDIO RECORDINGS I DID. SO I HAVE THE ORIGINALS.
oh my god they fix one thing and break a dozen others! they still did not fix the audio in the portrait hallway or the flashing lightning windows which would intermittently not flash correctly with the thunder, and it appears they're just fully on in this video and now there is no sound for the thunder! wtf disney! Edit: they also messed up the ghost host's shadow in the music room playing the piano, it was working fine last time i saw it 🤦♂
Madame Leota’s room has always been the worst part of the attraction. She is an excellent effect. But, all the items flying around (especially the floating green dot) look stupid. The Paris version had windows with billowing curtains and that we prefect.
i agree, it's probably my least favorite part of the ride, the floating objects never did much for me. i just think it is too bland in there, they gave madame leota a glow up, the rest of the room could use one too...
consider this dismaying observation: this chamber has no windows and no doors… which offers you this chilling challenge: to find a way out! (Laughs.) Of course, there’s always my way.
@@alucard2010 It's Disney. You should expect to wait another year. This is the same company that took 5 years to build one coaster that was already built someplace else.
Yeah, in the new movie we see the WDW mansion and it was called Crump manor. But if we go all the way back to the whole Tokyo Disneyland Tower of Terror, which was why the Hatbox ghost real name is George Hightower, due to the mansion being connected with Tokyo Disney's Tower of Terror, Jean Lafeatte, Pirates of the Caribbean and Tom Sawyer Island. Also the mansions name is actually Hightower Manor. Which then Locols started to call it the Haunted mansion Which has the same Initials as Hightower Manor.
@@EPCOTNERDLovesDisney Hatty and Hightower are two different characters. The WDW mansion is Gracey Manor in the canon and the DL mansion never had an official name because that IS the Haunted Mansion, it can be Gore Manor, Hightower Manor, Gracey Manor, but ONLY The Haunted Mansion.
@@redjaredits It is still Leota Toombs (thank goodness), but it looks like they changed the shape of the "head" that the face is projected on so that it looks better in profile.
When we went last February, a severe-looking young man opened the door and stated darkly “The Mahster will see you now.” Loved it!
That’s the picture of a man who LOVES his job!

The graveyard scene looks like they doctored up some of the ghosts and made them glow more. Love that!

Excellent recording of the haunted mansion. Great view, perfect lighting, no bouncing, most of the best scenes caught, great job.
Lots have changed. Mummy has returned with a new paint job. Madame Leota has a new hair style, and some of the lighting is different and fixed.
i love her hairstyle it's....fluffy
Still to this day one of the greatest dark rides of all time.
Yess
Your footage is impressive, I mean it feels like I'm legit there (without the heat & humidity lol)
they need to fix the crooked stretching room ceiling scrims
Is that just a WDW thing? When I went to Disneyland last fall, everything looked a little dimmer in the Haunted Mansion.
2:34 that must’ve scared the crap out of someone 😂
(That louder scream was not part of the ride)
12:03 The ghosts that were seated at that table sipping tea are gone. Probably to be refurbished.
They’ve been gone for a long time. Probably around the same time the Mummy went missing.
they've been out for years, for "repainting" about as long as the mummy has been. i don't see what is taking them so long lol!

Geez you are way to critical.
@@ronwolek1228 well when you spend 2 grand to go there, and it's a beloved attraction and stuff is not working correct, yes it's aggravating...
Best theme park ride ever.👍
Madame Leota is starting to look like Jennifer Tilly's Madame Leota from the first film!!😅😅
They brought back the sound effects for the Hitchhiking Ghost mirrors! They have been mute for years!
I rode it yesterday and I can confirm they are already muted again.
All the time they do an update I think they make it less scary. This time around the stretching room is too bright! You can see the illusion and that the walls are basically wall paper. When it was darker it looked real and mystical! The mumy looks like it has better articulation, but it goes by fast. I loved the timing of the stops. Great footage!
To be fair, it's likely the camera they're using to record that makes the room look so bright
does it have a drop
@@slnslnsln0nope! it was one of the calmest rides when i went there
Nice but i thought they’d update the invisible ghost playing the piano that looks like a cardboard cut out jerking about with a projector image to look a bit realistic
I noticed an extra scream in the stretching room during the black out moment
Excellent camera work! I can't wait to go in November!!! 😁 Madame Leota looks especially gorgeous! My cat looks really scared right now 🤣🤣 I think it was the ringing bell
I just *love* when people feel the need to recite the lines word for word, especially when there are first timers around. /s
Love Leota’s new hairstyle!
What happened to the hatbox ghost? He was supposed to be added
He wasn’t being installed in this specific update. They’re adding him a bit later
@@darkridergames1707'tis interesting they didn't add him in time for the first MNSSHP.
I wish they would make the bride an actual animatronic. Her effect has never looked good and her story is too good to be wasted on a bad projection
Yessss!
They should make more scary movies.
It was talked about and the result was first half creepy, second half light hearted. Do you want another alien encounter when kids were terrified?🙄
There’s It’s Tough To Be A Bug which many think is terrifying
@@ClonedOriginalsme too, unfortunately some people are such babies they even talk about Snow White attraction traumatising them when they were 10.

If xs tech is a real intergalactic technology company then I would most definitely not go to one of their teleporter Demonstrations
I like letoa new hair looks like the artist piece of her
I thought they added the Hatbox Ghost?
Yes?
HAPPY HAUNTS!
Ngl I’m kinda glad the ride stops at that one spot in the graveyard cuz I almost never see a clear shot of the royal ghosts on the seesaw! It’s very cute lol
I hate people who repeat the speil. Be quiet
Can't believe they let the Quicksand Portrait stay up looking so wrinkled and warped. Bad show.
Always glad to see this ride.:3

I wanted the dancing candlebras..
Is the music different? I dont remember the tamborine upbeat style?
This is my favorite ride at Disney World. I usually ride it twice.
HAUNTED MANSION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm at disney right now I cannot wait to step into here

Don't forget to blow Little Leota a farewell kiss !
Aww nooo I loved madame leota voice more with Jennifer Tilly’s, she gave it a more of a chilling sound 🥶
Great upgrade. I’m glad they did away with the Nightmare before Christmas version.
I just realize that mansion ride there is called crump manor
Good luck
oh my god they fix one thing and break a dozen others! they still did not fix the audio in the portrait hallway or the flashing lightning windows which would intermittently not flash correctly with the thunder, and it appears they're just fully on in this video and now there is no sound for the thunder! wtf disney!

the dot is supposed to be a spirit taking shape as she summons them to materialize
@@markzilla6895 it still looks dumb.

@@markzilla6895actually its making zodiac signs
I LOVE this ride
I was on the ride once and it stoped 5 times and we got stuck once 5 mins and once 2 mins and once 6 it was fun tho
The Haunted Mansion is one of my favorite Disney rides all time
Both in WDW & Disneyland
Me too! If it’s down for refurb, I’ll reschedule my trips!
01:08 Paul Frees!!!!
A new mommy!!!!! Finally
In the series cars on the road I think that episode 2 are inspired on the haunted mansion 🥰🥰🥰🤣
This is the best H/M video
You really need LOW LIGHT for this ride.
consider this dismaying observation: this chamber has no windows and no doors… which offers you this chilling challenge: to find a way out! (Laughs.) Of course, there’s always my way.
Love the haunted mansion
Wonderful
If anybody is thinking what world's would be great for Kingdom Hearts IV? I think the Haunted Mansion would be great.
why on earth would they make the stretching room purple
What was changed?
New Madame Leota
And no hat box ghost
@@alucard2010 It's Disney. You should expect to wait another year. This is the same company that took 5 years to build one coaster that was already built someplace else.
@@HigherQualityUploads the joke is old and irrelevant
Updated lighting and the mummy has returned to the graveyard
WHO SCREAMED AT THE BEGINNING
There's always been a scream.
Alistar Crump, where are you?
Well, in the movie his name is Alistair Crump, but in the ride his name is George Hightower
Hatty's real name is Randall Pace
At least his mansion, I saw back there at Orlando was in fact, crumps manor. And where I live is actually Gracie manor.

First
The bride scares me still to this day
Omg i miss this ride 😢
Yes ded??
Leota has a new face, not just hair
the face is the same it's just lit differently it's still Leota Toombs
@@redjaredits It is still Leota Toombs (thank goodness), but it looks like they changed the shape of the "head" that the face is projected on so that it looks better in profile.
