That's it, Walt Disney World Haunted Mansion finally re-opened, and the best video available on the net is on the "inside the magic" web site . I can't say enough how good their videos are, not only they are filmed with a high definition camera, but , too, with a fantastic sound. Of course, it is so dark during the ride that they had to use the "night mode" , but as you will see, at least you can see all the new scenes. Here is the link :

Above is a rendering for the new " portrait hall " scene and below a picture of an imagineer working on the model of the new staircases scene
Before you jump on the great "inside the magic" web site - be sure to bookmark it for the future - here are some screen capture from the video . First, the staircases scene with the " step ghost effect "
the new floating ball effect with madame Leota
the attic-portrait scene
and, of course, the bride with the new projection effect
Before you leave, here are some good WDW pictures of the ballroom scene
And, talking about the ballroom, i suppose that all of you know that the dancing ghosts are not a holographic or projection effect , but simply the reflection in the glass of audio-animatronics located under the track . If you still have doubt about it, here is a very rare picture "showing the trick".
Here is a close shot on the Audio-animatronics dancing ghosts
One of the previous scene with madame Leota - before she begin to "float"
And a picture from the cemetary.
let's end with a look back to the past with this rare 1970's 8mm Walt Disney productions film.
The movie show Disneyland's Haunted Mansion, but the pictures above are from the WDW version.

ReplyDeleteHello, I like your blog very much. There is little I have to say about Disney World. I like it very much. The attractions are awesome. But the thing is that it is quite expensive. For me that is not a problem but what should do not well-off people who have several kids and can not afford a trip there. I saw the same complaints on this great site www.pissedconsumer.com.
ReplyDeleteI went there last December and it was fantastic! I really enjoyed that ride!
ReplyDeleteI've been there about 3 times.Been everywhere there.Seeing my kids faces is the best memory I have,and them geting to take pictures with their favorite characters.However is was a very expensive trip,and I don't even want to say what we spent.I can just imagine how prices have gone up since I've been there..About 6 years ago.I can no longer afford it now,but is a great place if you want to see how big of smiles your kids can have.
