This looks so much better than Disneyland's and WDW Haunted Mansions COMBINED. Practically an exact copy of what I remember from my childhood. Before all the new additions and everything.
This ride still gives me the creepies no matter what langauge its in, or which version. Ever since I was little I was terrified of the haunted mansin. Period.
You are totally right, I have been going on the American versions of the attraction all my life and the Tokyo one simply is far superior technology and effects wise. However, I still prefer the exterior of the Disneyland Haunted Mansion over all the rest.
I knew it!! That picture at 3:04 did exist! When I was 6, I remember seeing a face pop out of a picture during the hallway door sequence...I thought I was crazy, cause I never saw it again. But now I know, only JAPAN has it. Thanks for the video parkhopper, haha
o_o the beginning of the ride is probably the best beginning out of all the manors in the world in my opinion. shoot.. and than there was that picture with that man and his head starting poping out of it.. The portraits at Tokyo are also awesome!
oh wow.. i remembered being in the haunted mansion 10yrs ago.. cant believe its still there.. went in there twice.. e 2nd time was a bit scary cos the whole chair ride suddenly stopped and my chair was facing e floating candle in e hallway.. i was a small boy then..
Ya know, if there was one thing that REALLY scared me about The Haunted Mansion in WDW before the refurbishment, it was those big spiders (the ones around 2:09 in this video). :( Mind you, I was nine years old then, and I'm turning twenty-two this March. But to let you know, I still hate spiders. They scare me to no end, like with Indiana Jones's fear of snakes. >_
@CHNKYGRLLOVR it still is, just no spiders, & i dont ever recall seeing the girl at the end saying "hurry back." plus the portraits are amazing here. that guy with the head popping out...WOW!!!
My heart shed a tear.. It's nice knowing good ol' Haunted Mansion is in Tokyo as well, the number one city in the world I wish to go to.. (I'm from L.A. xp)
I wonder how videotaping any of the Haunted Mansion rides using the night-vision feature would affect seeing details better - but then maybe all the ghost-projections would not be visible? Still, just to see the decor and sets would be way cool...
So Madame Leota's dialogue is only different in Disneyland Paris where she speaks in French and English? In all other Disneylands she has the original audio from 1969?
I remember one in the old version of the WDW HM, the doombuggy was taking me to the old spider room. The doombuggy mysteriously slowed and stopped in the middle of the room. So there I was, in an old mansion...in a dark room...with huge spiders. It's creepier than you think! *shudder*
FYI... Emily = The shy, original (formerly "No Face") brokenhearted bride. Constance = The axe-brandishing pyscho that appears in DL & WDW as the new bride who looks to get a...head in the afterlife.
So far that was just an urban myth. It was rumored to be part of the Anaheim version, but the dummy was said to be moved underneath the mansion to scare the newbie cast members. Disney hasn't confirmed most of it... yet.
@Trevelbond I doubt it. They only added the Escher-like staircase because the WDW ride itself is slightly longer than the D-Land one due to the presence of the haunted library and music room.
4:50 I wish the attic rooms at Disneyland and WDW were still like this one, with the little spooks jumping out at you and screaming. I don't like what they've changed it into. also, the ghosts in the graveyard seem to have more fluid movement and an even eerier glow about them! maybe the Haunted Mansion in Tokyo tops them all!
@sapphirestardust7 Those are The Sinister Eleven. They were also at WDW until most of them were replaced by the D-Land changing portraits as part of the recent enhancements.
It is essentially a clone of Disney World's but it has a couple of effects that the Florida version doesn't -- like the face coming out of the portrait -- and the animatronics have a lot more movement to them.
I believe the Florida updates would be nice, but what if they added an armory with living suits of armor, and a ghost dragon warming tea for some of the graveyard ghosts?
Sportsguy: I was adding on to what you said by saying that whereas most of the Mansions share the same backstory (and bride-switching from Emily to Constance), Phantom Manor's story is more well-developed and has remained relatively the same for centuries.
@nintendofan3100 it's like that in paris too actually. the song and the other audio are still in english. the only thing they change in the ride is the voice of the guide (the creepy guy who talks 2u in the beginning). idk y...i mean i understand the song still being in english but they cud get someone to do a voice over for her & the girl at the end who says, "hurry back" even that is still in english in paris. but then i guess this is an American Haunted Mansion...but still...
Oh another thing, this Haunted Mansion is only a clone of WDW's because the facade matches with the gothic feel of Cinderella Castle, and the attraction is a good thematic bridge between Westernland and Fantasyland due to it's early American architecture.
The spider room was where the staircase is. They got rid of it after people claimed it as "boring". I'm talking about the Haunted Mansion in Orlando, by the way.
Here's my story for the original DL & WDW Mansions (to explain bride switching): Mme. Leota did in Lillian & caused shy Emily to suffocate in an attic trunk. These events caused Master Gracy's suicidal hanging. Later, a new bride & groom enter the Mansion. After crazy Constance did her husband in, crystal ball-bound Leota regretted past actions & set to do right by getting rid of this troublemaker. She & her daughter trapped Constance in the attic, resulting in Emily going into hiding.
@lilcrazy09 I wouldn't be surprised if they might add her in the not-too-distant future. And since the Tokyo D-Land layout (as well as architecture) is pretty much the same as WDW's, there's a good bet they'll add the same enhancements as the latter.
very similar to the french version paris, only difference is the paris one has normal photographs that changed into demonic scenes after the elevator scene. the hologram mirror the ghost appears above the carriage were you cant see - not inside so its creepy as hell! also the wild west scene is missing in the japanese version! alot scenes missing! like the bride appearing down a hallway with candles, also a scene of her crying in her room before or after the concert hall scene im not sure!
I'm surprised they didn't translate more of the ghost's lines. Also, did they not have the attic with the bride who took an axe to all of her husbands or did I miss it?
Oh yes the other mansions have story plots, the plot is the mansion is a retirement home for ghosts and searching for number 1000 they let you tour the mansion.
EmilyPlus: She (that is, what Emily once was before she showed her face) cannot be seen anymore, because--in the original Mansions--they replaced even the most modern Emily (the one with yellow eyes and a face) with the axe weilding Constance. At least here in Tokyo, Emily is still present, but with a face, as per her modern look (and I bet Constance will take Emily's place in Tokyo too, eventually).
does anyone else find it strange that Madame Leota and the ghosts are still speaking in English even though this is in Japan. I bet the little kids are thinking " I can't understand her but whatever she is saying has to be scary
@SPORTSGUY9933 anyone who didn't must not have had the money :/ Doesn't mean their childhood was deprived. Parent's want to take their children to disney, but just cant muster up the money, along with paying for bills. Though as a single parent, my dad was able to take me and my bro last year.
Sportsguy: That & whereas most Haunted Mansions--DL, WDW, and Tokyo--share the same story, Phantom Manor's story is more elaborate and more well-developed, instead of mashed together on whim by Imagineers.
@wallagbhy i got on this for the 1st time when i was lik 7...as soon as i got off the ride I got right back in line =) i saw kids on their younger than me even they were lik "I wana go again!!"
thats a special effect. It doesnt look that way to the other people, and didnt u see it go back in like a ghost? Done w/ old magic tricks, light effects, and mirrors.
This looks so much better than Disneyland's and WDW Haunted Mansions COMBINED. Practically an exact copy of what I remember from my childhood. Before all the new additions and everything.
The library scene is just so cool! The book ont the floor moves, and the pages of the book on the table turn.
This ride still gives me the creepies no matter what langauge its in, or which version. Ever since I was little I was terrified of the haunted mansin. Period.
Whoa! The Bride is so much cooler then the one at WDW.
I love tokyo!
You are totally right, I have been going on the American versions of the attraction all my life and the Tokyo one simply is far superior technology and effects wise. However, I still prefer the exterior of the Disneyland Haunted Mansion over all the rest.
I knew it!! That picture at 3:04 did exist! When I was 6, I remember seeing a face pop out of a picture during the hallway door sequence...I thought I was crazy, cause I never saw it again. But now I know, only JAPAN has it. Thanks for the video parkhopper, haha
at 05:02 that scene with the "pop up ghost" is what to me makes a grrrreeeeat haunted mansion.
o_o
the beginning of the ride is probably the best beginning out of all the manors in the world in my opinion. shoot.. and than there was that picture with that man and his head starting poping out of it.. The portraits at Tokyo are also awesome!
Come on.
oh wow.. i remembered being in the haunted mansion 10yrs ago.. cant believe its still there.. went in there twice.. e 2nd time was a bit scary cos the whole chair ride suddenly stopped and my chair was facing e floating candle in e hallway.. i was a small boy then..
You're not kidding. That was ridiculous. I wonder if Anaheim will ever see those additions.
Ya know, if there was one thing that REALLY scared me about The Haunted Mansion in WDW before the refurbishment, it was those big spiders (the ones around 2:09 in this video). :(
Mind you, I was nine years old then, and I'm turning twenty-two this March. But to let you know, I still hate spiders. They scare me to no end, like with Indiana Jones's fear of snakes. >_
@CHNKYGRLLOVR it still is, just no spiders, & i dont ever recall seeing the girl at the end saying "hurry back." plus the portraits are amazing here. that guy with the head popping out...WOW!!!
at 06:34 it sounded like pee wee herman humming the tune.
I've been through the Haunted Manison many, many times... but this video actually had me a bit creeped out!
My heart shed a tear.. It's nice knowing good ol' Haunted Mansion is in Tokyo as well, the number one city in the world I wish to go to.. (I'm from L.A. xp)
I wonder how videotaping any of the Haunted Mansion rides using the night-vision feature would affect seeing details better - but then maybe all the ghost-projections would not be visible? Still, just to see the decor and sets would be way cool...
So Madame Leota's dialogue is only different in Disneyland Paris where she speaks in French and English? In all other Disneylands she has the original audio from 1969?
This is one of the best videos I have ever seen of The Haunted Mansion. It is just awesome!!! 5 STARS!!!!!!!!!
I remember one in the old version of the WDW HM, the doombuggy was taking me to the old spider room. The doombuggy mysteriously slowed and stopped in the middle of the room. So there I was, in an old mansion...in a dark room...with huge spiders. It's creepier than you think! *shudder*
Good?
Dang, the Corridor of Doors sure go crazy in this one!
FYI...
Emily = The shy, original (formerly "No Face") brokenhearted bride.
Constance = The axe-brandishing pyscho that appears in DL & WDW as the new bride who looks to get a...head in the afterlife.
Sucks they got rid of the spider room at Disney World. That was the scariest part for me as a kid.
So far that was just an urban myth. It was rumored to be part of the Anaheim version, but the dummy was said to be moved underneath the mansion to scare the newbie cast members. Disney hasn't confirmed most of it... yet.
Im sure by now this Haunted Mansion ride is just like Disneyland USA and DisneyWorlds with all the updates to it with floating Leota and the new bride
@Trevelbond I doubt it. They only added the Escher-like staircase because the WDW ride itself is slightly longer than the D-Land one due to the presence of the haunted library and music room.
4:50 I wish the attic rooms at Disneyland and WDW were still like this one, with the little spooks jumping out at you and screaming. I don't like what they've changed it into. also, the ghosts in the graveyard seem to have more fluid movement and an even eerier glow about them! maybe the Haunted Mansion in Tokyo tops them all!
I suppose you're right. You got me there. I do quite like supernatural, but I like creepy just as much :)
Uhhhh ohhhhhh.
this ride is really awesome, specially the effects, though i didn't understand what they're saying
I wish the Animatronics where as advanced here in the Original Disneyland park as they are in Tokyo's park.
Ah didn't know every Disneyworld/land had the same attractions. This Haunted Mansion looks almost exactly the same as the one in Paris.
@sapphirestardust7 Those are The Sinister Eleven. They were also at WDW until most of them were replaced by the D-Land changing portraits as part of the recent enhancements.
If you listen closely you can here a voice in the doom buggy that translates her into Japanese so they can understand her words
aww....i still feel so sorry for the gravekeeper and his dog (the only living beings in the mansion)XD
That's the arraingement of the Haunted Manison song, "Grim Grinning Ghosts," that is played at the exit to the ride.
It is essentially a clone of Disney World's but it has a couple of effects that the Florida version doesn't -- like the face coming out of the portrait -- and the animatronics have a lot more movement to them.
Oookay!
I believe the Florida updates would be nice, but what if they added an armory with living suits of armor, and a ghost dragon warming tea for some of the graveyard ghosts?
that band looks eerily realistic O_o
Those are very good ideas! Probably good for my Haunted Mansion walkthrough this year....
Looks alot like Disney World's version. It sounds better though. Everything sounds so much more clearer.
Sportsguy: I was adding on to what you said by saying that whereas most of the Mansions share the same backstory (and bride-switching from Emily to Constance), Phantom Manor's story is more well-developed and has remained relatively the same for centuries.

Cool! They used the original Leota Toombs/Eleanor Audley Madam Leota in Japan as well. I don't care for the different one in Paris.
the doors go crazy in this one O_O
awesome videos! I felt like I was there
@goo83 exactly! this is how all the haunted mansions used to be like. Tokyo's is the only original left.

Oh another thing, this Haunted Mansion is only a clone of WDW's because the facade matches with the gothic feel of Cinderella Castle, and the attraction is a good thematic bridge between Westernland and Fantasyland due to it's early American architecture.
Sweetness to the max!

Just like the original 1 in California, USA. Great!
very similar to the french version paris, only difference is the paris one has normal photographs that changed into demonic scenes after the elevator scene. the hologram mirror the ghost appears above the carriage were you cant see - not inside so its creepy as hell! also the wild west scene is missing in the japanese version! alot scenes missing! like the bride appearing down a hallway with candles, also a scene of her crying in her room before or after the concert hall scene im not sure!
5:58 Wow the Phantom five of tokyo realy can move! The ones America are rather stiff.
This is the condition in which the WDW version should be and, if you can believe the internet rumors, soon will be.
oh tell me about it...I have a huge fear of big spiders,some reason little spiders dont freak me out
@Tsuruka they didn't add constance to the tokyo one, as far as I know she's exclusive to the states.
Yeeah!
Love this ride so much! :D
This ride is more creepy than the one in california
If I had a mansion like that I'd have a party every weekend
Yees?
I'm surprised they didn't translate more of the ghost's lines. Also, did they not have the attic with the bride who took an axe to all of her husbands or did I miss it?
the one in Flordia is undergoing rehab this summer...it may not wind up the same
5:32 sneeze
Well, I haven't been there in like 7 years. Hard to remember. But I hate spiders and that's creepier than some dumb staircase.
Oh yes the other mansions have story plots, the plot is the mansion is a retirement home for ghosts and searching for number 1000 they let you tour the mansion.
They should have made Madam Lyoda (sp?) speak Japanese...that was one of the best parts...everyone loves a good se'ance now, don't they...
EmilyPlus: She (that is, what Emily once was before she showed her face) cannot be seen anymore, because--in the original Mansions--they replaced even the most modern Emily (the one with yellow eyes and a face) with the axe weilding Constance.

You'd be suprised how much english Japan actually uses
B4 I thought that the TDL's HM kicked MK's HM @ss, but after the rehab, now it's the other way around.
oh shoot!! did Tokyo Disneyland get wiped away with that nasty Earthquake?
Much better than the U.S. ones.....
does anyone else find it strange that Madame Leota and the ghosts are still speaking in English even though this is in Japan. I bet the little kids are thinking " I can't understand her but whatever she is saying has to be scary
Somebody get the breathing door a paper bag! He's hyperventilating! D:
Just think of the American version while the Ghost Host is speaking.
The bride herself can be seen a 1:15, but she doesn't have the axe like in the american parks.
If I inherited a mansion like that, then I would burn it to the ground and then douse the flames in Holy Water.
There is some english in nearly all of the Tokyo Disneyland attractions.
Im sure most people in Japan speak or at least know english to some extent so Im sure they understand what she is saying
i like the Asian leota, LMAO XD
jdohe:
1. Many Japanese understand English.
2. EVERY Haunted Mansion--even Phantom Manor--has GGG IN English.
I can't agree with you on that, Phantom Manor is good, but it doesn't capture the look and feel of the original mansions.
3:00 was creepy that isn't in the florida mansion
Are cameras allowed on the rides? or did you sneak your camera in? Just wondering. :P
Ohhh yes?
wow most of it is amost exactly the same as cali :ooo
@SPORTSGUY9933 anyone who didn't must not have had the money :/ Doesn't mean their childhood was deprived. Parent's want to take their children to disney, but just cant muster up the money, along with paying for bills.
Though as a single parent, my dad was able to take me and my bro last year.
oh ok. i didn't see that one.
Hopefully. Probably when I'm through....
i knew it the hitch hikers did move im going to show my dad this to prove that i remembered better then him
English is very stylish in Japan. At least it was... It's less so now.
at 03:02 didnt his head just popped out of the frame?
Sportsguy: That & whereas most Haunted Mansions--DL, WDW, and Tokyo--share the same story, Phantom Manor's story is more elaborate and more well-developed, instead of mashed together on whim by Imagineers.
@wallagbhy i got on this for the 1st time when i was lik 7...as soon as i got off the ride I got right back in line =) i saw kids on their younger than me even they were lik "I wana go again!!"
I would scream my head of if I was here.
Geneva Rata
They could have put at least some more effort into translation. Great vid, tho!
it would be more funny if tokyo disney was made with japanese thing lolll thats just look the same then the other park
yes
thats a special effect. It doesnt look that way to the other people, and didnt u see it go
back in like a ghost? Done w/ old magic tricks, light effects, and mirrors.
The bride is kind of cute, but looks a bit like a little old lady!
Yeah, the definitely could do without the neon-blacklight thing they got goin' on there now.
Wow, that's really boring. At least with the spiders, they came down right in your face at one point... at least I think.
I hope they leave it this way it's scary enough for me!
