The Haunted Mansion is a ghost train attraction located at Disneyland Park, Magic Kingdom, Tokyo Disneyland, Disneyland Park and at Hong Kong Disneyland, although each location differs in design. Riders go through a haunted mansion resided in by “999 happy haunts.”The Haunted Mansion features a ride-through tour in Omnimover vehicles called “Doom Buggies”, and a walk-through show is displayed to riders waiting in the line queue. The attraction utilizes a range of technology, from centuries-old theatrical effects to modern special effects featuring spectral Audio-Animatronics. The Haunted Mansion has inspired two similarly themed attractions, Phantom Manor and Mystic Manor, which exist at Disneyland Paris and Hong Kong Disneyland, respectively. Originally conceived in the mid-1950s by Walt Disney as a walk-through ghost house, artist Harper Goff was tapped to conceptually design the attraction. The house originally had a rural American design and was intended to be at the end of a crooked path that led away from Disneyland’s Main Street, U.S.A.. Eventually, the decision was made to place it in New Orleans Square and thus the mansion’s exterior was themed as an antebellum home.The attraction went through many concept changes before its facade was completed in 1963, six years before it would open to the public, delayed by Disney’s involvement in the 1964 New York World’s Fair. At one point, it was conceived as a walk-through that would empty out into an exhibit called “The Museum of the Weird”. Conceptual drawings were done for this concept, but the Museum of the Weird would be left on the drawing board due to the walk-through idea being shot down in favor of making the attraction a ride-through.In what might be considered to be a unique twist to a supposedly “abandoned” structure, the exterior appears pristine and the surrounding grounds are meticulously maintained. Designers wanted to make the exterior look like a stereotypical run-down and decrepit haunted house, but Walt himself overrode the idea, claiming “we’ll take care of the outside and let the ghosts take care of the inside.”
On August 9, 1969, the attraction officially opened to the public.
