The History of Phantom Manor

[@Chis64]

When you realize the portrait of Henry Ravenswood, Is the man behind the ghost host of phantom manor known as Horror Legend Vincent Price. Love that touch.

[@naryafae]

Originally Vincent narrated the ride. You still hear his laugh when you see the phantom.

[@katereilly9367]

Love that Phantom Manor plays into the history of the Haunted Mansion while having its own story... Like so many generations of Imagineers made this ride possible.

[@iZURGE]

I have been on Phantom Manor all week. Absolutely fantastic and probably my favourite ride of the day. Will be going back on tomorrow for my final day, loved the story behind so I can appreciate the experience even more the 4th time around.

[@ben87graves]

Im so thankful I got to see Phanton Manor before the refurbished started, can't wait to see what kinda updates they have for us Haunted Mansion fans. Looks like Ill be going back to Paris early next year!!!!

[@ben87graves]

NOn Playable character as long as it’s a Reese’s cookie😋🍪

[@joebenzz]

The ride is now open and you can see videos on youtube :D

[@kaylambirch]

I rode Phantom Manor for the first time yesterday. I had been avoiding DLP POVs so I went in knowing nothing about this park and especially about Phantom Manor. And I was blown away! The Imagineers did such an amazing job! Phantom Manor is an absolutely beautiful creation that I hope lives on in Disneyland Paris for years to come!! I was crying a little bit just at how fantastic this ride was. I hope Disney never loses sight of the wonder and imagination of rides like this.

[@brycevo]

I really wish I could have rode it. It is amazing

[@FoxieRoxie365]

Bryce McKenzie I mean it’s still a thing, but it’s under refurbishment until like next month or February

[@EftelNick]

FoxieRoxie365 It’s confirmed the ride will reopen March 31th 2019 EDIT: now it’s set to open in May

[@poggersmcgoy779]

Finally, a video on me!

[@fastpassfacts]

indeed!

[@chrisyoung9899]

I dont get it

[@WENNBNL]

What?

[@baguettealail3077]

Unfortunately, Phantom Manor won't reopen on January. If you go on Disneyland Paris' official website, you'll see that Phantom Manor will reopen between April and June. At least, for now.

[@FoxieRoxie365]

Lily Po wait WHAT?!

[@baguettealail3077]

+FoxieRoxie365 Yeah... It sucks. We don't even know why it is still closed

[@SuperMovieLvr933]

@Mr Cube I'm very happy they're updating it and making the story and style more cohesive to Frontierland and one theme.

[@JKalama25799752]

Rattle Bones. Considering it’s been over a year since the refurbishment began and will still take until May/June to complete I think it’s safe to assume every animatronics and prop is being remade

[@Emisop]

Now they're saying May... Oof.

[@gage9331]

It would be so smart if they record more voices in different languages and use the magic bands to see were they are from and play the certain language based on where you are from!

[@Noralet101]

Tux Guy there is no magic band system in Paris though :/ if there were magic bands, that would be a cool idea!

[@Ghilesian]

There is no magic band system, but there have been attractions and shows in the past where there were personal speakers or headphones, and you always had a couple buttons to choose your own language, so it might be an option. But honestly, I always loved the non-verbal communication so much more. It was very jarring for me to go to the US and suddenly every story I was used to figuring out and discovering on my own was being spoken to YOU personally, and was actually also about YOU, which is such a shift in tone; I'm not sure if that kind of storytelling overhaul would be appreciated by all visitors.

[@riaflores-tamayo6236]

I’m a huge fan of Haunted Mansion and Phantom Manor Fastpass Facts! I want Jay Meyer and Verne Rowe’s singing busts faces, Ned Nub and Rollo Rumpkin to return to their original faces as it was before just like in 1992.

[@natapendrid3545]

Hands down the best version of haunted mansion out there because it’s absolutely terrifying, or atleast it was when I went on it back in 2015. I was so happy and made my family go on this several times in a day, we all loved it. ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT RIDE.

[@Noralet101]

Phantom Manor is my favorite ride, it has so much detail and so much love for the story! I actually wish they would use more English since that’s the language most guests at least understand better than French, but the French government would probably have a problem with that... I am scared a bit for the refurbishment though 😅 I hope they will emphasize the original story!!

[@user-ui2jg3il5p]

Well the refurbishment will be adding English narration. :)

[@GoldenFreddyCinema]

Phantom Manor is the best ride in Disney and I was looking for a video like this. Thanks :D

[@aquauniverse4403]

I visited Euro Disney last week and it was amazing. This ride was probably my favorite.

[@madamminalost]

and now pushed back to March 2019... Seriously, great video!

[@trevorrandom]

Fantastic some great images really interesting. I'd love to see more about Disney Paris ☺

[@TheDodoshwedo]

I wish you would've inserted an audio of Vincent Price's signature laugh when you mention it @12:40, for those that have never heard it. Or played some of the orchestral music you're talking about. Now I have to search for another video that includes those cuz I'm curious.

[@PandaCove95]

If the Haunted Mansion reboot becomes successful, I want the Phantom Manor to be it's sequel.

[@brycevo]

Vive Les Phantom Manor

[@bruh4812]

Offhand Disney halloween vids part 2? Love these Haunted Mansion videos.

[@wanna_be_hockey_goalie]

Ik I’ve said this before, but I was in France about 2 years ago, and one day we went to Disneyland Paris (which was super cool from what I saw). While we were there I got the chance to ride The Phantom Manor! But I was too scared to. I REALLY regret that now oof!

[@user-ui2jg3il5p]

Really lol, as a child i was never scared of the Phantom Manor. But i was traumatized from riding the Snow White ride!

[@catluvr2]

That was bootiful. ...I just realized how that could be a pun in multiple ways. BOO and BOOT.

[@alexisgraziano]

It WAS BOOtiful

[@hjello2961]

I’m going to slee- New video? Nah I can stay up a little while longer

[@JulesKM]

Phantom Manor looks amazing. I can't believe they thought it was okay to have the narration in English though. Glad they changed that quickly!

[@FoxieRoxie365]

Julie McLean it’s coming back from what I heard

[@mgmstudios4808]

Great video guys! I honestly think this is the best haunted mansion ride EVER! I'm so excited for the grand reopening.

[@vandacarneiro980]

😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅

[@gillianday4804]

What a ride it is. A tragic tale of greed, romance, and a haunting most foul! Goblins and Ghoulies, creatures of fright, we summon you now, to dance thought the night! Spirits and ghosts, on your proud stallions, accompany the beautiful bride through the night! Warlocks and Witches, answer this call! Your presence is wanted at this ghostly ball! From the twelve knolls of midnight to the morning bells, we shall waltz together, gruesome debutante! Join now the Spirits in Nuptial Doom, a ravishing Bride, a vanishing Groom... Wow!

[@esteban199633]

The Disneyland Paris Frontierland, like you said, conects all the parts of Thunder Mesa. Small details all around the land that sure makes this fictional town ALIVE. Could you a video of those details? ;)

[@bobbijodubelaar6151]

I love this Haunted Mansion but I am super excited for the new changes. I was there at the end of September and they were working hard. I am headed back with my family in the spring and cannot wait for my kids to see. They love it as much as I do. :)

[@groovyroses]

That is so interesting about Phantom Manor and have it link up with western town and have it's own story.

[@rockgirl1234]

im so excited i'm going next year september can't wait to see what they did :o Also heard it will open again next march loving your video's

[@Oshawottr]

I wish Phantom Manor was set to open in January, it's on the refurbishment schedule until March!

[@pirateprincess1997]

Honestly I love phantom manor so much better than HM simply cause I love its story, the trapped bride, the scary phantom I just love all of it! I’m actually writing a haunted mansion story that basically ties into phantom manor because I love it so much!

[@MatecaCorp]

I love Phantom Manor and I love this video! P.S. I do hope you got permission from or plan to credit the creator of the model railroad track plan at 2:53. I say this because he is himself an artist.

[@harrysmith200]

This just makes me more depressed that it's still shut and will be for over a year!

[@ingonyama70]

I thought it was reopening in April or May? A while, sure, but not a year

[@harrysmith200]

@@ingonyama70 It just over a year ago, January 6th or something like that and there isn't a set re-opening date yet

[@billieeilish_not_really3982]

FINALLY SOMEONE DID A VIDEO AT DISNEYLAND PARIS THANK YOU❤️

[@PrinceLinkOfDragona]

*claps when The Hatchet Man was shown as The Ghost Host* Thank you, I too think that he is the Ghost Host. Also regarding the video, it's extremely informative I actually learned a lot more about the ride.

[@nestordanilotamayo5024]

Fastpass Facts, It is confirmed by Tom Fitzgerald, the ride will finally reopen on May 3, 2019! I'm so excited! are you excited too! I just want to give you the special good news!

[@littlebair91]

Loving these longer videos

[@MKLettis]

I'd love to check out this ride someday. Looks so neat and spooky~

[@0Adne0]

The re-opening has been postponed to march 2019, apparently they've found asbestos so they have a small delay.

[@thepastcomesalive2082]

I also would like to get the complete audio soundtrack to phantom manner because it sounds really awesome and the outtakes from Vincent Price.

[@theroyalwolfsteinfamily5155]

my favorite ride of all time!

[@thomas.brb.3]

I love this video❤❤ but you should do a new version of this video with the new story informations added with the 2018/2019 refurbishment. 👌

[@caseypilarczyk9312]

So cool and creepy stories about haunted mansion

[@themeparkreel]

the Manor reopens may 3rd and is even spookier and shows more of Melanie and Henry!

[@Phantomtp21]

I got a in show exit on phantom manor 2 weeks ago IT WAS SOO COOL ,and on record.

[@thepastcomesalive2082]

Does phantom manor have its own story record just like the haunted mansion? If it does I would love to hear that one.

[@Mechasonicrocks]

Could you do a video on Tokyo Disneyland’s unique variation of the “Tower of Terror”? Much appreciated, and keep up the good work!

[@ottobaron6392]

Phantom Manor is my favorite of the Haunted Mansion facades, although I am still very fond of the Original, which I grew up with in Southern California. Although I like the exterior of the Disneyworld and Tokyo versions, I prefer the idea of entering from the front porch. As far as Mystic Manor is concerned, I prefer my Haunted Mansions to have ghosts.

[@andreapatane4204]

I think that the ghosts in the Ballroom might be seen with extra light when the Pepper's Ghost effect is remade. Thumbs up if you agree with my thought.

[@lukehansen7352]

Such a great video!

[@tomgallowitz4464]

Heard they might be changing the look of the Phantom as well, basing this off articles I've read and from photos of DLP Halloween Parade which features the Phantom and Melanie. Also they are going to reveal the Phantom's actual identity. Right many believe its her father, some say the spirit of Thunder Mesa, others the offed Groom.

[@lesleyfrolloandhooklover6615]

Now the ride is re opening on May 3rd, 2019.

[@Dognuurse]

I love Phantom Manor I want to go on so badly ☺️

[@EZRDEN]

You should do the history of Great Moments With Mr Lincoln. Can you mention the 2001 refurbishment of the show if you do it?

[@baguettealail3077]

And, are we sure the Phantom is really Melanie's father ? It's not official, some people say that it's her fiancé or else. I'm sorry, I'm annoying...

[@Outtacontextouttatime]

Bruh, how is that annoying? You are just asking a question.😂

[@baguettealail3077]

+Haley M Oh yeah you're right. I'm just a little bit shy, so when I ask a question I never know if I bother people or not 😊

[@zeldaboo_]

Lily Po trust me I know that feeling 100%. And like Haley said, you're not annoying. But yes it wasn't truly stated that it was Melanie's father so it could be someone else. Well I guess it's time for....CONSPIRACY THEORIES!

[@baguettealail3077]

+Zeldaboo MÉLANIE IS ACTUALLY THE PHANTOM ! No, seriously, I thought it was his father until I saw the Halloween cavalcade, they were really close, closer that a father and daughter should be and I don't think Disney would promote incest at a parade with children. Also, I got a little talk with a CM at Peter Pan's Flight in Paris and she told me that the Phantom was Melanie's fiancé (but in the stretching room you can see (guess is a more appropriate word) the Phantom hanging the fiancé). PS : glad to see I'm not the only person who is afraid of annoying people

[@raingilkes3502]

Haley M he is very heavily implied to be her father. I think with the show portraying them as too close, there are different explanations for that. 1. The choreographers either didn’t know, didn’t care, or didn’t plan around it for whatever reason. 2. Aesthetics and the different ways affection was shown in time period context. 3. Maybe they wouldn’t outright put incest in your face, but honestly it wouldn’t be far off to imply it, because Henry Ravenswood was supposed to be eerily obsessive about his daughter. 4. I’ve seen the show, they don’t get THAT close, he carries her and like kisses her hand. It seems respectful and almost more... fatherly than romantic or sexual. Not all affection is so.

[@melsvdhoeven5789]

Will you do a video on the new Version?

[@filmaru8556]

John Especito more like Despecito

[@babadookmorelikebabashook7802]

The Slasher Club yeah

[@disneyfan8178]

I was thinking more like Esposito, as in the National Hockey League's Phil and Tony Esposito.

[@thecourier7216]

This is so sad Melanie sing despecito

[@ItsTforTea]

Start at : 1969 Me : nice

[@Caterpillarjon]

Phantom Manor is basically what The Haunted Mansion would've been if Claude Coates got his way. He wanted a genuinely terrifying ride where as Marc Davis wanted macabre humor and since Walt was no longer around to devide, they compromised and the result was the first half of the ride is the scary (Claude Coates) part and the second part after the attic scene is the (Marc Davis) macabre humor funny part. Where as the Phantom Manor is nightmare fuel.

Hey Will, Can you do the FULL history of Superstar Limo?

[@jeffreyblack9595]

I stand correctly.. Vincent was used as "the Phantom" at first.. now only his "laughter" is herd.. in my anger I politely say.. especially for ones that don't understand french?! the place is = "trou de merde" an anger statement from one that believe that certain "center-work" made at the first should be kept!
