Original Magic Kingdom Haunted Mansion - Late 90s

Old-school Haunted Mansion at Walt Disney World, with floaty bride, giant spiders, and more! Published as part of this article: passport2dream...

The old version was way more effective and sinister . I miss it , even the smell.

[@pysankar]

This attic was so much better than how it is now.

[@MysteryManfrom79]

Look at all that time the foyer portrait used to hold in default for! That often now starts changing before anyone has gotten in! A nice throwback though, the version many of today's adults would remember from their childhood!

[@Crimson_Snake1]

Yes

[@Clam73]

Back when they let the howling dog actually howl.

Amazing video! It captures so many details. The queue looks very unkempt and overgrown. I guess the late 90s was when the WDW team abandoned Walt's "we'll take care of the outside" approach.

this is disneyland, dude, not wdw.

[@epaddon]

@@GODCONVOYPRIME No, it's Florida WDW.

[@almendraman]

The Florida Mansion fell into total disrepair in the latter half of Eisner's tenure. I hear this was the case for many Magic Kingdom rides at the time

[@dmaxproductions3805]

Yes! I remember this! The thing I remember The most is where in the loading area there were no pictures they were all in the hallway leading to the library!

Thank you for uploading this! Wish there was a way to enhance it to hd or something. I’ve been curious about the big spider room… I know they were taken out at some point but I remember them from the early to mid 90s and being freaked out by them as a kid! Also I love seeing the old way of how they did the ghost in the doom buggy effect! I’m not a fan of the cgi effects they do now…

Remember going on this ride in 1998 for the first time; was only 6 and a half (or 7, depending on what time of year) years old at the time.

My favorite ride at Disney World

[@artanisknarf]

Absolutely awesome video for that time period. Also, go to that trouble and still get a Doombuggy with poor sound!

10:26 Smurf bride!!! Even tho her hair is weird and distracting, she still looks scary in this lighting. She surprisingly looks friendly with lights on though!

They removed the jump scares in the attic room. Still a great ride 👌. I just wanted to know if anybody noticed

This is my favorite ride

[@SpoonfulForYou]

The biggest upgrade for this ride was definitely the Audio. Say what you want about the other changes but the audio here was pretty rough. The sounds during leotas seance, struck before she finished talking. The ballroom music sounded too low and sped up. The graveyard scene was too loud in some areas and none of the audio was in sync properly for that scene. The present day version is very impressive with its audio.

[@jupiter9099]

Insanely rare footage of the front gate actually being closed.

[@Foxxy999]

It actually looked that way for almost a decade - from the time the front gate was installed in the early 90s until Fastness came to the ride in 2002 or so. It gave a nice "hey don't come in here" vibe to the place.

[@jupiter9099]

@@Foxxy999 Of course. I was just pointing out how the gate is always open due to the Fastpass/Lightning Lane addition. Older footage of the exterior isn't as common as today's footage.

I've seen this video before. My friend Brian from NH burned it on dvd along with a few other videos 10 years ago

[@Foxxy999]

Do you have a contact? He sent me the video on VHS in the late 90s which is where I got it. It had been so long I had forgotten who it was from and I’d like to make sure I restore those credits.

@@Foxxy999 sadly I think Brian passed away during the COVID epidemic. I have tried to email him on both of his accounts and have not received any response from him.

[@Foxxy999]

@@odinson81 :( Awful. I lost a few Disney contacts that way. Are you willing to share his last name (if you have it) so I can at least get the credit where it is due?

am I the only one who noticed that the ballroom music was faster than now and the key was higher? 9:38

Back when disney cared about its guests and strived to make the most amazing attraction they possible could. Now we just have marvel and starwars crammed down our throats and men wearing dresses on main street. Sick of the world we live in.

I despise these cast members. They're mistaking volume with storytelling. So obnoxious.
