Which Haunted Mansion is Better?

[@Margarita684]

Love the outside look of the building in Disneyland but love the ride itself at Disney World

[@VideoJames1019]

Omg! Thank you, I’ve been saying that for a while.

[@COOLMADMANSOTRUE]

I can’t agree more

[@Ragan31687]

Exactly

[@yourroyalhighness7662]

I have not been to Disneyland but can compare the two based on the gazillion videos that are available. I love the exterior of the mansion at DisneyWorld much more so than the one in Anaheim. Overall, the two rides are likely equal to each other except for one thing. Disneyland has the world famous Hatbox ghost (“Hattie”). So, points to Orlando for the exterior and points to Anaheim for Hatteras the Hatbox ghost. Overall, a tie.

[@Tryingtohaveityall]

Ride vs ride is cool. More please. Picking which mansion is better is like trying to pick your favorite child. Impossible.

[@normanflager8158]

I agree. Even though I've only ridden the Orlando one once as a child, I can confirm that while there are new updates and revampings of the old ride, it will never be better or worse, just different.

[@RollxnWithDany]

Offhand the next Ride Vs Ride you should do Space mountain in Disneyland and Space mountain In Disney world

[@imaginationstation3735]

But is that even a contest???

[@ed_ward6869]

WDW is better due to an overall creepier atmosphere which is helped by the more decrepit look of the mansion. I know the disneyland one is iconic, but it just looks too well kept for me.

[@christophermichaelclarence6003]

Bruh. I know my comment is late for that. Im afraid to tell you it's our Phantom Manor the most frightening and creepier Haunted Mansion in all Disney Parks

[@christophermichaelclarence6003]

@Native and Irish KZbinr I Can assure you Phantom Manor is a Haunted Mansion. So a Mystic Mansion. It's just the interior that differs

[@Emike-nc9ew]

phantom manor wins by far FAR Theres no doub about that cus it combines whats great of the both mansions, but i think i prefer the disneyland one if we talking about america cus thats the one i had rode in

[@lolplzlolplz1]

Mystic Manor> Phantom Manor xD but yea, Phantom Manor > both American ones

[@RossPitSharkHunter]

Personally, I do prefer WDW Haunted Mansion. It really is just more immersive. At the same time, it does have a few more meh things, like the Hitchhiking Ghosts(Though the newer polished animatronics are cooler in WDW), and no Hattie.

[@laurah7359]

This was really entertaining definitely keep doing these. Personally I love the haunted mansion in Disney World more. It's super nostalgic for me and the ride I miss the most when I'm not in the parks. While the hatbox ghost is unique I find it to be the only big difference between the originally and the one in Florida, which may end up changing in the future making Florida's version that much cooler. It's just better in my opinion but I can definitely see why some folks enjoy the one in Anaheim more, it is after all the original one that Walt worked on.

[@palmickey420]

Laura H the only problem with everyone saying they like DL’s better because it’s the “original” is that they were both being constructed at the same time. The only reason they didn’t open at the same time is because DL’s opened 14 yrs after the park opened and WDW’s was an opening day attraction

[@laurah7359]

Alex Pilka very interesting. Strange that everyone calls DLs the original then considering that. Guess a lot of people are misinformed like I used to be

[@SteveCarras]

From Calif but went to Florida and it's MILES better,due to the SCARIER outside and longer inside.bUT wer've got the originally opened (constructed along with the Disney World/Magic KingdomTM version at the very same time) with the recent Hatbox Ghost.

[@SRHunt85]

The Haunted Mansion in Disneyland is one of my all time favorite rides. I rode it twice last time we went to the park, and I was happily singing along to Grim Grinning Ghosts both times. I finally got to see Hattie in person and I was so excited to see him. I just love the ride itself and it’s historical significance to the park.

[@tny1757]

Honestly, I have to say neither is better. Neither feels complete in a way. California has the original but Florida has an improved copy. Things that can be improved in California are in Florida's and some additions to the Florida Mansion would make it the best will never be added but exist in California. So it's really at an impasse. You're always losing something regardless of where you go. You want the best mansion? Combine the two together. Give an amalgam of scenes exclusive to Florida and the classic scenes of California, use the Updated tech and better lighting, keep the Physical Ghosts at the end, Add the Hatbox Ghost animatronic, have the Interactive Queue , As for the Stretching Room, make it go up or down depending on where you are but use the Florida audio to fix the audio glitch in California and the creaking sounds and there you go. That way, no comparison needs to be made and everyone is happy. California is the original and has classic effects but Florida did improve on what needed to be improved like effects and lighting. However there are some things that California has that Florida wouldn't touch with a 10 ft Pole like the Hatbox Ghost and the Original Hitchhikers.

[@johnballard1427]

Good argument

[@mikenziepeters696]

I completely agree this is exactly what I was thinking about both Haunted Mansions

[@TheLewistownTrainspotter8102]

+Mike Smith Or you can take a third option and pick Phantom Manor (Paris's version).

[@panth753]

good response.

[@lainiwakura1776]

Well, the only things to add to Disneyland's is the Escher staircase scene and the interactive queue, but the staircase scene looks kinda meh.

[@patrickj994]

I can't really decide, I have a soft spot for all the mansions, Disneyland for Hatbox Ghost, WDW for It's extra scenes, Phantom Manor for it's interesting and dark story, and Tokyo Disneyland for being the only Haunted mansion to never receive any of the more modern updates and therefore have a sort of historical feel to it (Not to mention it has the original Beating Heart Bride animatronic, which I think is one of the creepiest ghosts the mansion ever did)

[@calliemyersbuchanan6458]

Hey offhand! You can do a poll directly embedded into your video and make it easier on yourself to tally the votes. It's one of the options for the little "i" in the upper corner. I believe it's in the video editor somewhere. That way you don't have to scroll through actual comments. Hope this helps 🤷🏻‍♀️ also, my vote is for Paris hands freaking down!!! lol but between CA and FL hmm imma be loyal and go with CA.

[@lillianmanuel4956]

Can I just say: I LOVE your commercial/announcer voice when you're sponsored! 🤣

[@Holobrine]

There is a pet cemetery at WDW, it has Mr Toad in it. The epitaph reads “Here lies Mr Toad, sad but true; Far less popular than Pooh.”

[@SpoonfulForYou]

I live in Florida and the magic kingdom is like a second home to me. I just went to Disneyland in April for the first time and I loved the haunted mansion in Disneyland for its old charm. It feels straight out of 1969, especially the hallway scene. It was a refreshing change listening to the ghost host without all the special effects. That being said, the haunted mansion at magic kingdom is a better experience. The ride is longer, has a better outside, and the effects are more up to date. So haunted mansion magic kingdom wins. It is the ultimate haunted mansion ride. However I feel like the New Orleans style mansion fits the characters and story better but oh well. Overall I like magic kingdoms better. It has a bigger cemetery and even a big pet cemetery on the hill. You did not mention that. Great video man! But may I suggest mentioning the exteriors next time? The way the mansion looks is very important to the experience and story. Just a suggestion. Great video!

[@phototristan]

I love the part when that giant boulder starts rolling towards you.

[@Outtacontextouttatime]

That’s a great scene.

[@detectivectenders]

my favorite part of haunted mansion is the twilight zone scene with the floating eye and the stars and all that.

[@elijahmendez1476]

I love the Ride vs Ride concept!!! And I personally feel that The Haunted Mansion at the original magic kingdom takes the crown. With that being said, I would also add that it’s the best Hainted Mansion out of any Disney Park. The history of the original Haunted Mansion is so rich and detailed that no other Haunted Mansion or version of The Haunted Mansion comes close. The original Haunted Mansion provides an emerssive waiting queue that is so well done you do not truly know where the ride starts, as well as, offering the one and only input of Walt Disney himself. Many other feautures of the original Haunted Mansion plays factors in this decision too, but I just wanted to name a few. Great job on all your content and you should possibly think of a podcast too because your fan base is growing fast and steadily. Cannot wait for more content!!!

[@yaoixyuriluvver]

I got to go to Disneyworld for the 1st time a few years ago and remember having mixed feelings about its version of the Haunted Mansion. Mainly my only issue was that the staff stuffed so many of us in the stretching room at Disneyworld that no one could hear anything but the loud sounds of everyone talking (This thoroughly upset me) and we were literally pressed against 4 bodies at a time from the entrance all the way to getting on the buggy, but the ride itself was wonderful. So I probably prefer Disneyland since it's the park I live by and due to a not so great experience at Disneyworld.

[@mr.pencilsharpener8004]

I think WDW is overall superior. There are some things that DL does better, but I think there are more things that WDW does better Also WDW still has some punny tombstones and a pet cemetery right after you exit

[@mr.pencilsharpener8004]

The Genius oh yeah I know that. I just didn’t feel like saying WDW’s Haunted Mansion, so I just said WDW. I can see how that can be confusing though

[@saravert9671]

Anaheims is the best, hands down. It might not be as polished but its the original and its iconic. Plus the outside is hella rad.

[@andrew6083]

Walt Disney World for me. When discussing exterior, Disneyland’s is so well polished and clean, I didn’t feel at all like I was about to enter a haunted house. Disney worlds gets the message across without completely having it look like it’s falling apart with its gothic architecture. When discussing interior, Disney World simply has everything Disneyland has (minus a few things like the hatbox ghost) but more. I recommend riding both before making any decisions.

[@rainebows]

Matterhorn Bobsleds or Expedition Everest?

[@edsoncortes7396]

Expedition everest

[@DryEyeBuilds]

Of course Everest!

[@gbird.]

Disneyland is my park but Everest is obviously better

[@johnballard1427]

Everest, duuuuhh

[@roseandlotus]

I don’t even think those two are comparable. Everest is way more complex than Matterhorn

[@thebunnyfoofoo]

At WDW, they have pet cemetery at end of ride in the exit que where you can look for Mr. Toad in the graveyard. IN addition, WDL has that Nightmare Before Christmas theme that people really like (most people). Also, WDW cast members are scary, somber at WDW, not laughing (1:06)!

Sorry man, but it’s phantom manor all the way, I even the other day went back to your video so I could hear the full story of it again

[@lainiwakura1776]

That isn't an option here. Now pick one so your opinion isn't wasted.

[@kaenachoo4783]

Phantom manor is basically the same thing just with a weird western scene and a different story so it is the worst one.

[@KeepCalmContemplateYourChoices]

@@kaenachoo4783 I mean, it's in Frontierland so it would have a storyline that would fit in with the Western theme. At least PM HAS a story. The only real storyline in the American mansions is that you're touring the mansion, with the ghost host as your, well, host. The PH storyline is darker than the American mansions, so in my opinion, it's my favourite, with Mystic Manor as a close second. But I respect your opinion.

[@KeepCalmContemplateYourChoices]

[@spotlightstudios7774]

It's a LOT more classic

[@timutton7203]

They both have their strengths, but overall the edge goes to the original simply because of the nostalgia factor for me. Beyond that, I love the concept of Ride vs Ride and hope to see more vids in this series.

[@dakhall28]

Disneyland California Haunted Mansion is the best/better. Yes WDW may have better lighting and has updated animatronics, etc. Disneyland though has all the original stuff, yes there are some flaws, but that is what makes the attraction so much better. Of course there are some things that are going to be needing an update through the course of the next few years, but a classic never disappoints.

[@johnballard1427]

So I guess that means you would prefer the first iPhone over the iPhone XS max, because first iPhone is the original. Just because it’s the original doesn’t make it better

[@dakhall28]

John Ballard you can’t have your cake and eat it to, yeah having updates is nice and having somewhat of perfection, but appreciating the classics is always lovely. If there wasn’t an original iPhone than we wouldn’t have the iPhone XS max and all of its wonderful updates, so if there wasn’t haunted mansion Disneyland then no haunted mansion WDW. It’s just an option and a personal opinion to choose the original for me. 😁 I love both though!

[@dracorosales3641]

Disneyland, as it’s in the park Walt walked around in, he planned only that one, and I feel that the facade matches perfectly with New Orleans Square. Not to mention Haunted Mansion Holiday

[@dracorosales3641]

[@themysteriousgravityfalls]

And a better line que, building design, feel, originality, monster cave, bottomless pit, walking hallways, ect.

[@auggiewhitman7358]

The Mysterious Gravity Falls Person 1. WDW’s has a better building design (Much more ominous, is on a hill) 2. Also a better queue (interactive elements and theming outside the building) 3. “Bottomless pit” Oh you mean the empty dark room you board the doom buggies on? 4. “Monster cave” what are you even talking about? 5. I didn’t know that a moving walkway typically found at airports counted towards making a ride better?

[@themysteriousgravityfalls]

1. Actually, Walt Disney HIMSELF shunned the idea of an ominous looking house, he designed the one at Disneyland himself. 2. I was talking about how the que looks, and Disneyland's looks a thousand times better. 3. Nope, I mean to the left when you go up the exit hill. 4. The caves where you exit from. 5. This was referring to where you ENTER, which is not a moving walkway. Once again, Disneyland is better.

[@auggiewhitman7358]

The Mysterious Gravity Falls Person So, because Walt Disney himself designed the exterior, that automatically makes it better? Nice try, take several seats. I’m beginning to think you have never actually been to WDW. The MK version has a far superior looking queue as well. The DL queue is a bunch of switchbacks off to the side. Basically what you are saying that because DL has an exit ramp with a dark floor 5 feet below to make it feel like a “bottomless pit” (which it doesnt.) I rest my case. The exterior design of the DL mansion wasn’t even FOR what the haunted mansion became. It actually sat vacant for like 8 years before WDI did something with it, after Walt’s death.

[@Tortidis987]

Dude, no park is way better than the other, both versions are great

[@Rockport269]

Overall, I prefer the Haunted Mansion in Disney World because of the additional scenes, the changing portrait of Master Gracey, and the architectural style of the outer facade, though I do love the Hatbox Ghost in Disneyland (though I think his head should switch back and forth between his shoulders and his hatbox more often--I feel like I spend most of my time at that part of the ride waiting for it to switch, and then I only really get to see it switch once when I'd rather get to see it switch twice) and I must say I prefer the Disneyland version of the Hitchhiking Ghosts following you home over the digital Disney World version--it's a much more impressive effect, and it's also what I grew up with since Disney World only changed their version to what it is now a few years ago. Of course, Disneyland does have a leg up with Haunted Mansion Holiday, which I am *dying* to see ;)

WDW for sure, I’ve been on both and yes DL has the hatbox ghost, but WDW is longer, more immersive, plus the 13 o’clock clock actually has 13 notches. Also better lighting. Honestly though to everyone saying DL is better only because it’s the “original”, they were both constructed at the same time and the only reason the one at WDW didn’t open at the same time as DL is because the park didn’t open for another 2 years

[@micycles1200]

I think the (classic) Haunted Mansion at Magic Kingdom is objectively superior to Disneyland's because it's longer, and more updated. However, being a Disneylander, I think I prefer ours. I like the antebellum exterior better, I like that our stretching room is an elevator, I like that we keep some of the walk-through elemtents as the queue. But the biggest reason is, of course, ours becomes Haunted Mansion Holiday. I've said it before: I'm not a big fan of Nightmare Before Christmas, nor am I the biggest fan of the regular Haunted Mansion, but HMH is just awesome. For some reason, both of the elements together just work out great. That's an experience we can only get at Disneyland (in America, of course). And actually, if it wasn't limited to just America, I'm sure people would say Tokyo's is best because every single element from either American Haunted Mansion is present in Tokyo's (except that the exterior is WDW's clone).

My favorite HM ride is Disneyland. I am a big fan of how both parks actually invest in the architecture as well as the ride.

I do enjoy all of the tombstones and other memorials you pass by in the queue of the DisneyWorld version but once again that New Orleans style mansion at Disneyland makes me cry with its beauty.

I never got to see it because two years after I moved from California, they put him in, so I'm sad. However, I like the interactive queue (even though some parents who don't care what their kids do ruin it) and the inside of the mansion in WDW.

[@andrewmccormack605]

Great video. As to asking for suggestions, maybe a side by side comparision of the like or dislike features of each version as editing would allow. Otherwise a very strong video. Enjoyed it.

[@Mansionology]

Do a video about how the Haunted Mansion is mysteriously two mansions in one. I'm talking about how the building you enter is a three-story white antebellum manor in pristine condition (or a three-story brick Dutch Gothic Revival manor at WDW/Tokyo) and then during the attraction, after the stretching room, it somehow becomes a seemingly two-story run-down Victorian house with a conservatory and an attic on the second floor. Completely different architecture. You first see a glimpse of this alternate mansion in the stretching room when the lights go out. Notice the cupola the Ghost Host hanged himself in is octagonal and has four windows, while the cupola you saw outside is hexagonal with six windows (at Disneyland). My theory is that the mansion you ride thru during the actual ride exists in another dimension: the Spirit World. Remember the sign that used to be at the end of the ride: "DEAD END! Prepare to Exit to the Living World."

I’ve been to both in real life, except I saw the holiday overlay when I went to Disneyland, and it was phenomenal. I enjoy the exterior of the mansion in WDW more as it’s more gothic and eerie, and I wish the loading area in Disneyland’s version had more to it other than the cheap fog effect in the background. Other than that, it was more enjoyable going through the classic Haunted Mansion in Anaheim and I felt more immersed into compared to Disney World’s. It gives me a different, and good exciting feeling when I went on it. Overall, great video! Looking forward to more from you in the future :)

Please continue this series. It may sound weird but, can you do Cinderella’s castle vs. Sleeping Beauty’s castle? I know its they are not rides, but I think that would be interesting. Thank you. Great video 😊.

As much as I love the Disneyland version (because I'm a Disney employee working in DCA), Disney World's version has it for me. I attribute that to it being newer and them having more space in Orlando. Just gives them more freedom.

[@josephlukowski9382]

I love the idea of comparing rides.

[@BonniesMinion]

During Spring Break 2019; me, my mom, maybe my sister and/or grandma are going to Disney World in California for the first time I can remember. I’m also gonna ride all the classic rides (Pirates, Haunted Mansion, Space Mountain, etc.) for the first time.

[@emilywright1855]

Disneyland is the one in California. Btw have an awesome time

[@camryn192]

The two are different in there own way. I love both of them but if I have to choose just one, it would be Disneyland. I've always love the classics if you ask me. Plus, it just makes me feel closer to Walt Disney since he was there when it was being built... if that makes any sense? Keep on doing what you're doing Offhand! I love your content!

[@woutdejonge5874]

Great! More of this please. I think The Haunted Mansion in Disney World is better as a ride, in scenes, effects, lenght etc. But The Haunted Mansion in Disneyland has more historical value. Also, I think the mansion exterior of the Disneyland version is better.

I like ride vs ride. I’ve only been to Disney World due to budgetary restraints, so I can’t vote objectively. Love your channel!

[@Chakram82]

Oooh. Fun series concept! My vote is for Disneyland. I love the original and while WDW did do some fun updates, I just like the Disneyland version better. Please do Space Mountain for your next Ride vs Ride!

[@joemoney877]

Great series! I look forward to more episodes. My vote is for Disneyland Haunted Mansion.

[@FlapJacques]

Although I do love the classic, DisneyWorld's Haunted Mansion does look better. They learned from their predecessors how to improve the ride, had better animatronics, and effects.

[@FlapJacques]

I also think it would be cool to learn more about the ride itself. Concept art, infrastructure, newest technical advancements, if one ride breaks down more than the other copy (looking at you, Dr. Jones), stuff like that. Cant wait for more videos from this series.

[@Onederland2319]

Just an FYI - the candles in the Florida HM in the Madame Leota scene can be purchase from a company called Luminara. They used Disney patents to bring those candles to the general public. My dad and I rode several times to figure out if the candles were real and then how did they make them look so real. You can find cheaper versions, but they just don't look as real.

I would love to see more of this Ride vs Ride! My favorite out of the two mansions has got to be Disneyland's version, I don't know why but it just seems so classic.

[@SergeantLuke]

Disney World’s version is definitely the best. Even as a kid, growing up with an annual pass, the Mansion just felt very short and unfinished, and like there was something else that it still needed. Riding the WDW version gave me precisely what I was looking for!

[@trev_utd]

love the ride vs ride idea

[@courtneybarefoot2998]

Team WDW Haunted Mansion. Tbh my main reasoning is because it never converts to the Nightmare Before Christmas theming. I do also prefer the longer ride experience and I love the interactive queue. Really the only point in Disneyland's favor is Hatbox Ghost, who is a favorite of mine. I like this Ride vs. Ride series! Thanks as always for the great content.

[@isabelleoh-criner6697]

While the original Haunted Mansion at Disneyland does have certain roots that make it special, the version at Disney World provided an opportunity for imagineers to play with and improve upon the Disneyland one. Not only was there more space to make the ride a bit longer, but the added effects and the interactive queue put in place in more recent years also added to guest experience and story immersion. It’s for this reason that I believe the Disney world Haunted Mansion to be better.

Please talk about Pandora

[@panicatthedisco2856]

Will you go to Disneyland on July 25 2020

[@nortonhatfield7312]

You should do a video of the haunted mansion ride during Christmas time because during Christmas time, or at least from thanksgiving to new years, the haunted mansion ride gets redecorated with a nightmare before Christmas theme.
