is very different at the Disneyland Haunted Mansion. In New Orleans
Square, this version is very nice and friendly on the outside. The
queue is shorter, but features a hallway with changing photos and
two busts that "stare" at you as you walk to the loading
area. Little Leota is in a tomblike area after you exit the ride and
are on a speed ramp. |
TMK's Liberty Square Haunted Mansion is far more intimidating.
There is a cemetery next to the doorway, then a much larger foyer
with one changing portrait and a fireplace. The load area looks
more like the insides of a huge mansion, and the ride itself, while
missing the updated audio and effects at Disneyland, includes several
new scenes such as the library, piano room, and hallway of portraits.
Little Leota appears next to the Doom Buggy as you are about to
enter the unload zone.
Trivia: A version of the Haunted Mansion appears
at all four Magic Kingdom parks. In each park the attraction is
located in a different land. Disneyland has New Orleans Square.
Walt Disney World has Liberty Squre. At Disneyland Paris, the attraction
is placed in Frontierland and is renamed and rethemed as Phantom
Manor and does not have the onboard sound system. At Tokyo Disneyland,
their Haunted Mansion (which looks like the TMK version) is in Fantasyland
behind Dumbo.
