We Built a Disney Haunted Mansion Backyard DIY Build Dark Ride

[@TheHauntedMansionArchive]

This is honestly the best home recreation of it that I have ever seen. The mini loading area looks ike it would’ve been part of the haunted mansions recent refurbishment. Great job!

[@chamberofsouls]

Thank you so much! We wanted to make sure the details were as good as we had time for! Our favorite ride!

[@tylercurtis507]

This is INCREDIBLE!!!

[@ZeranZeran]

I think if Walt saw this, he would be incredibly angry that someone used this.. and THEN very impressed by this track and want a ride! Amazing work guys. This is really cool. This kinda gives me hope that even if DIsney shuts down rides, the fans may be able to faithfully recreate them someday.

[@chamberofsouls]

Lol wish he was still around to ride it. Thank you so much!

[@DamonMurphy1]

Great work!!! So impressive! Let me know when one of the neighboring houses is for sale - I want to be a part of that neighborhood!

[@docburch55]

Absolutely fantastic. Waiting to see the breakdown BTS video for 2022. I have a request, aside from the drive and track system, would you be willing to share a links list of special effects stuff you used? The small black light, the busts, etc. Even a video of how you do the proximity sensors supply and setup would be helpful. All of course if you have the time. Your breakdown videos of the drive & track system are fantastically detailed and very user friendly. Your willingness to go through those breakdowns shows that you really are a true haunter at heart and not doing this for notoriety. Well done and we all look forward to seeing more. Thanks for sharing this I truly appreciate it but not sure my wife will 😉

[@chamberofsouls]

Thank you! Sure will, I will ad those to the BTS video

I have one extension cord to my (much smaller) shop. I just move it about. It is a little annoying but I like that only one machine can be on at a time, a bit of a safety feature if you will.

[@chamberofsouls]

Makes sense 👍🏻

[@kjarby69]

I came back to watch your video again and you got me at the Styrofoam cut outs!! O to the MG!!! I didn’t catch that bit of detail information at first. Question: what are the tracks made of?

[@chamberofsouls]

Thank you!! It was a lot of work! Track is made out of PVC pipe

[@danielroberto2209]

This is awesome.... something I always wanted to do since I was a boy. Where is this located? I live in the northwest suburbs of Chicago. If I lived by you it would be cool to be an actor in this attraction! Can't wait to see the entire thing in action! Too bad there is no room for a peppers ghost illusion... those are tricky! Time is moving so fast.... the crunch is on!

Thank you! We are in Northern Indiana (Granger). We would love the help lol that’s always the tough part is getting and keeping volunteers. If we had more time we would for sure have added a peppers ghosts!

How did you create the lighting windows!! I would love to have them in my haunt.

Thanks! That year I used a “FireFly” lightning controller from lightsalive. Following years I used a FlexMax from fright ideas. Both work great. Firefly is more beginner friendly

Do you have a video on how you bent the PVC pipe?

[@chamberofsouls]

We don’t currently. In short, we capped one end, poured hoy sand into it and that allows you to bend the pipe. We put it on a radius jig and when it cools it stays in that shape

[@Truth11100]

@@chamberofsouls Thank you so much for responding. I have been wanting to build my own for years. We now have a hiem where I can do this, and I want to do a small one for next year. Yours is absolutely fantastic.

[@daymonward9499]

Hey my friend. Thanks for your help in your build videos. I’ve built mine for the 2022 season (90% done). Quick question that I’ve had from several people that have been helping w the build. Did you have guests sign a waiver before they rode? I know it sounds silly w a car moving like 2 mph but my insurance provider was having a bit of a fit about this being a possible liability. She suggested increasing policy limits, blanket umbrella policy etc. plus the waiver. Did you cover all that nonsense or find a way around it? Sorry for all the questions. Appreciate you.

[@chamberofsouls]

Hey, you bet, no problem. I did not do anything additional as far as insurance. I increased out liability on our homeowners a few yrs ago just in case. I felt very comfortable with the track and cart, tested it over and over. I also followed it around during each ride. Everything I’ve ever built has been pretty extreme construction, like over construction. But, anything can happen, better safe then sorry! I just didn’t due to the faith I had in our build. Hope that helps!

[@daymonward9499]

Thanks much. Very helpful. A friend of mine has already said he’s notifying our local radio and TV stations to come out and cover the build. Yikes. Lol. I’ll be sure to credit you for the concept. Appreciate it so much!
