Haunted Mansion is a Tracked Dark Ride Omni-mover attraction located at Magic Kingdom in Lake Buena Vista, Florida, USA. It is one of the original opening day attractions with the park in 1971.

History

Haunted Mansion was one of the opening day attractions in 1971. Unlike the ride at Disneyland Park, the ride has more Doom buggies as a result of a longer layout with extended scenes.[1]

In 2011, several aspects of the ride queue, were renovated to have interactivity. The hitchhiking ghosts were remodeled to be hollow screens instead of audio animatronics. Other theming elements were added as well.[2]

In 2023, the Hatbox ghost, a character that previously existed at both the Magic Kingdom and Disneyland versions of the ride, was re-added.[3]
