Haunted Mansion Ride

With the exception of the beginning narration this is the complete haunted mansion ride-through. The open narration came from the Story of the Haunted Mansion Album.
This video is dark at times but its the best amateur ride-thru video I have seen to date.

Things to note:

The pet cemetery has been moved to the front of the house. For ages there was (and still is) a pet cemetery on the side of the house that provides the exit for the ride. Its not visible to the public but from time to time if you ask to see the pet cemetery they will let you back there.

The video starts in the "fast pass" area. This is the area you can get a preassigned boarding time for the ride in order to avoid the long line if any. At one time the fast pass stations had statues and urns on them. Those are long since gone.

The video of the stretching room is from the elevator/room to the left of the entrance. There is one thing that distinguishes the two elevators that service this ride. The hanging host(during the black out and lightening strike) are in a different positions in each room. Otherwise they are identical.

The gallery with the changing portraits contains the OLD pictures. They have long since been replaced with "improved" versions. The version of the woman who turns into a cat is the same that is framed in my bedroom.

The Leota crystal ball is stationary. Currently, it floats just above the table.

A final good look at the old bride in the attic. She has recently been replaced with a video projection of an actress who, while saying her vows, makes an axe appear where the bouquet should be.

The rest of the ride is the same.
