Hong Kong Disneyland is such a cool resort! Besides the awesome details of Mystic Manor, another feature I love about HKDL is the MTR Disneyland Resort Line that serves the resort! The line operates a shuttle between two stations, Sunny Bay and Disneyland Resort. Sunny Bay station has a futuristic theme, while Disneyland Resort station has a Victorian theme. The idea was that the train would act like a time machine, taking people from the future to the fantasy world of Hong Kong Disneyland. The trains themselves are very different from the rest of the MTR network as they have Mickey-shaped windows, Mickey-shaped handles, and bronze statues of Disney characters in glass displays! The jade monkey is Sun Wukong, aka the Monkey King, a character from the legendary novel Journey to the West! In the novel, Sun Wukong possesses many abilities. He has amazing strength and is able to support the weight of two heaven mountains on his shoulders while running with the speed of a meteor! He is extremely fast, able to travel 108,000 li or 54,000 km in one somersault! After he is imprisoned for 500 years for rebelling against heaven, he goes on a journey as a disciple with a monk to obtain Buddhist sūtras (sacred texts)
Mystic Manor's facade was actually inspired by the Bradbury Mansion that once stood in Los Angeles' Bunker Hill, designed by Samuel Newsom and Joseph Cather Newsom of the firm Newsom and Newsom. However that firm was the same firm that designed the Carson Mansion in Old Town Eureka that you mentioned! Love that the Imagineers added themselves into the group photo lol, of course not the first time they created a Society of Explorers and Adventures character after themselves since Hightower's Joe Rohde! Mystic Manor wasn't the only thing created at HKDL with Chinese culture in mind, as the park was built adhering to feng shui, like shifting the angle of the front gate by 12 degrees to ensure prosperity for the park. Besides lakes and streams, many waterfalls are strategically placed around the resort to accumulate good fortune and wealth
On the last day of my trip to Hong Kong I went to Disneyland by myself since my friends there had other plans. To this day it's one of my best memories! I went on Mystic Manor twice and it was incredible!! Tokyo Disney Resort remains my favourite Disney park but Mystic Manor is my favourite Disney attraction so far!!
I follow all of the major Disney Ride History and review channels when I clicked on this video I doubted that I would find it interesting. I was wrong. Simply put this was one of the most in depth and clear descriptions of a ride and it’s mechanics and I hope you continue this series not only for the overseas park but also for the American parks as well. Really a fantastic job.
I've been on the ride since opening day and I've been on the ride thrice this week. I must say, this has to be one of Disney's greatest achievements and you simply cannot claim you've been to Hong Kong Disneyland without going on this ride once.
When I went to Hong Kong, I felt locals didn't appreciate the ride that much. It is really boring when Disney re-uses ride concepts. Grizzly and Mystic are two of my top global Disney park rides. HK should be proud and continue to add more unique attractions!
Only hard core Disney fans can learn to appreciate the ride. Locals like my brothers and cousins just treat it as another other ordinary "lame"(not my word) dark ride like Many Adventures of Pooh regardless of its advance ride system and animatronics.
I'm from Hong Kong and have the Disney yearly pass. My friends and I love this ride (and the restaurant besides it😋😋) We even join a pass member limited "walk" through!
I was lucky enough to go to a pass holder preview and we rode it about 50 times (with the occasional imagineer watching the crowd reactions 😁). The magic dust is so mind-boggling seeing it live. Videos don’t do it justice. It’s one of my top Disney rides.
We were meant to go to Hong Kong Disneyland this year, but my appendix burst and spent over a month in hospital. Good thing we had travel insurance. As it turned out, Hong Kong Disneyland would have been closed anyway, so it all worked out. Hoping to go there sometime though, especially to ride mystic manor.
When I first got the chance to go to mystic point it was on a Saturday around 1pm..... But the whole of Mystic Point was practically empty no guests! I had heard of mystic manor and was a huge fan of the haunted mansion, so I had to go on the ride and I did.. 6 times, one right after another for over an hour. The cast members naturally thought I was a bit crazy but I had a blast! The ride is simply one of the greatest, and the outside facade is truly one of the most unique. On that day I must gone back to the ride around 5 more times. I've always been curious what is actually inside the building on top of that hill though I think it's probably just an empty shell. And that tiny little monkey, Albert was super cute!
@@marolterr yes, it was early afternoon on a weekend in Hong Kong, during then it was their winter, but during the day its like springtime for most North Americans. And that particular corner of the park was virtually empty, I seriously remember I could count the number of guests as less than 10, so I had free continuous rides on Mystic Manor.
And also after Henry Mystic greet the guests in the first scene, guests are brought to the instruments room and as if by magic guests ended up being in the room in the first scene after visiting the China pavilion
Henry Mystic know what's happen after he see Albert's broken clothes. He said “the music box may have been true” at the end of the ride. How would you know if Henry's manor could turn the rooms. But the real problem is. What if the music box didn't have any magic. We ride on the cart and watch the instruments, painting, dead plants and armor. This is what Henry wants the guest to see in original planning.
random trivia about him: he actually is a shapeshifter who can shapeshift into 72 forms, and he actually acquired his stick at the bottom of the ocean.
Absolutely love this attraction!!! I didn't know much about it my first trip to HKDL. Then it ended up being the main reason I went back to the park again a year later.
I was blown away when I first sat on this ride in 2015. I made sure to avoid all spoilers and was so excited when I arrived at the boarding area - I couldn't stop looking at the trackless floor! My brother and I sat through the whole ride getting lost in the story and in all of the special effects. This video makes me want to go back and re-explore the ride.
You mentioned that they added lyrics in the Armory. But you didn't share what they were saying. You can hear what they're singing in ride-thru videos but I don't speak the language. Also, there's a singing bust from the original in the last room to the left of the "stage." Awesome Video! I wish we could see the scrim transitions with the lights on.
You can search the English lyrics on internet. I hear the Cantonese lyrics through different ride video, Cantonese lyrics translate to English: The strong magic is ready, Don't close your eyes, The story (of the music box) does say something but you (the monkey)ignore it, Who will take back the place (Mystic Manor) that you gave us (armor/ everything that come alive), Now the magic have appeared in this place. Sorry for my bad English. Cuz I don't know Mandarin so I didn't translate it.
Always thought this would fit great between Africa and Asia at the Animal Kingdom..I know Americans would love to have the chance to experience this now that exclusivity is over
An absolute highlight of Hong Kong Disneyland, and one of Disney’s top attractions worldwide. And surprisingly easy to get onto, across our many visits to HKDL, the longest wait time I’ve seen is 15mins. Also right beside the BEST in park restaurant food offering. The only change I hope they consider in the future is upgrading the Chinese Saloon into HD projections on the walls to make it more realistic.
No, if you go there in public holiday. The waiting time will be an hour. I think the projection will not update. You know, HK and China always have some political problem. Shanghai disneyland need to be better than HKDL all the time. So HKDL never updated. No official lyrics release sth. like that.
My favorite Disney Dark Ride so far, I absolutely loved it when I experienced in in 2016 and 2017. I hope to be able to go back to HKDL again someday to experience it again.
The impressive technology and lush storytelling is only matched by how wonderfully cold the show building is in the humid Hong Kog summer. And that's coming from a Floridian!
Not sure why this channel does not have much more subscribers? It does not make any sense! Such an incredible channel with very polished and informative videos
Thanks for the great videos in these weird times. Keep up the good work! I love mystic manor. Definitely one of the best original disney attractions made to date. Ik really enjoyed it when we were at disneyland HK last summer :D
Thank you so much for these recent deep dives into attractions! I loved learning all about the Tokyo Disney Sea ToT, I'd love to see a video on grizzly gulch!
Mystic manor is DEFINITELY worth a visit to Hong Kong Disneyland! Everything about the ride was just awesome!!! Ride it several times over our two day visit to the park. Can’t wait to go back to ride it again!
As someone from Hong Kong, I didn’t know Mystic Manor is exclusive to the local Disneyland of mine until now. I’ve only known about this ride from another video, but that was a loooong time ago.
I was assigned a project (work) in Hong Kong before the 2020 shutdowns…and had hoped to extend a site visit for a trip to HKDL…excited to experience Mystic Manor…but alas….
When I was small. I went there in rainy day. We walk near to the Mystic Manor and found that most of the people run to there and wait in the line. It was the longest queue I ever see in HKDL. The queue line have extracted to the Grizzly bear.
What an awesome video! If I could point out one thing though Disney had trackless ride vehicles way back to The Great Movie Ride and Tower of Terror. All Using RFD chips. Probably not necessary on Tower of Terror but The Great Movie Ride? Absolutely not. I can't even imagine the technical problems with trackless vehicles that large. It does explain however why 'stops' in the story occurred so frequently. They had to keep recharging the batteries...
They should add this ride to one of the 3 underdeveloped parks at Disney World. It's different enough from the Haunted Mansion that it will be of interest to the general public. Since neither Hollywood Studios, Epcot nor Animal Kingdom have enough rides in these parks, it would be a welcomed addition to any of them.
I think they like to spend money on other parks to improve than and not just having everything at Florida which already has enough. Every time there’s a unique attraction to a park not in Florida, people always ask why it’s not in Florida. This, Tron in Shanghai, Ratatouille in Paris were all ones people moaned about untill they got it, but you never hear people complaining attractions in Florida aren’t anywhere else
That jade monkey statue is Sun WuKong, the Monkey King from Journey to the West, an important piece of Chinese literature. The pilgrims in that story is to China and all of Asia is like King Arthur is to Britain and Europe.
As a HongKonger , I felt really proud to our Disney . I mean Hong Kong is not a big place so our Disneyland is not that big , but at least we have two unique ride. However, locals don’t really like Disneyland (heck even our ocean pack) They always just think is too expensive and Disneyland is just for kids .🙄
Honestly, I came to HK disneyland and expecting it to be a boring small park (since I've been to disneysea anyway), but I like it, not too crowded, I can ride everything more than twice, but sadly I bought two days pass and on both days, there were thunderstorm! they need to cancel the parade and fireworks, kinda sad about that, I rode almost everything I want except the space mountain, I will go back there when I visit HK again for sure. I rode mystic manor twice, and yes, car you get will make you experience slight difference experience in armor room (I forgot if there are differences in other rooms, but armor room is the most distinct one)
Two details I've never heard explained: Who is the female explorer, and why is there a USC banner in the Acquisitions Room? I assume one of the lead imagineers went to USC, but I've never known for sure. (Also, the bust in Acquisitions looks very similar to one of the singing busts.)
When I was in HKDL, I would do laps between this ride, and their version of small world. XD (Shout out to Ava who got me into pin trading there. ) and the best cart to ride in is #3 since #1 and #2 seem to miss the timing on the scenes. I have never ridden in #4
Well, since you asked. The detailing and design of the queue and ride are excellent. I love the cartoon approach to it. The facade itself is one of Disney's greatest park masterworks. But I just feel like the limits of the ride system make it too dependent on one level, and that just keeps it at a Mr. Toad level experience. As such it's great, but it's not Haunted Mansion or Pirates. The staging and narrative seems really rushed too. I just don't have the love for this one that others do.
But if you just compare all the ride in HKDL. MM is the best one. Not dizzy, will not make you vomit. At that time 7 yrs ago, it was much high technique.
LISTEN UP!!!!!! EMAIL FROM DISNEY Dear Miss Mak, Thank you for your email. Regarding your enquiry, as Mystic Manor will be the only distribution channel of the song, we are sorry that the song is not publicly distributed at this stage. Nonetheless, we have duly shared your message to relevant team for internal reference and consideration. Once again, thank you for your continuing support to Hong Kong Disneyland and we look forward to welcoming you again soon. Have a Magical day! Yours sincerely,
Joyce Wong (Ms.) Guest Relations Hong Kong Disneyland
zengseng 2007 was only the second year of hk Disneyland! You have to go back, there are many more attractions now and there’s so much packed inside this magical place!
i went to hong kong and shanghai disney (only parks i've been to) and Mystic Manor was a complete standout across the two and my absolute favourite at HK Disney so much so i rode it 3 times in one day hahahaha. I feel like people always put down HK as a small park thats not worth the visit but i'd totally disagree purely for this ride!
I am hong kong chinese!!!!!!! Mystic manor ride look like /act like night of the museum , not look like / act like haunted mansion/ phantom manor in other disneylands, also not look like / act like haunted house in alton tower!!!!!!!This is my opinion!!!!!!
As a Hong Kong Chinese, did you think building Mystic Manor is because of Chinese taboo? Saying that Chinese hate ghost things when HKDL celebrate Halloween. Or it just low budget and finding reasons. I think is low budget only.
I don't think the lack of references to ghosts stems from them being taboo, but rather due to the fact that depictions of ghosts in media are outright banned in China. I don't know how much of that is at play due to the special status of Hong Kong, but it's probably the reason why.
Actually the taboo is a very real thing. Just ask a Chinese person to tell you about Ghost Night, and they get VERY uncomfortable. Not sure if that's true in HK though, but it sure is in Guangdong.
Mystic Point is in the wrong place. It’s stupid you walk from Adventureland through Grizzly Gulch to get to it. The locations should have been reversed, and actually, Grizzly Gulch should have been built were the stupid Lion King show area was originally built).
Stupid? You're stupid then. Btw there's no place for them to build 3 new lands at the same period. Also the area of Lion King show have not enough place for land to build. And it happened in western not the jungle. When you walk after the jungle you meet the west. Walk after Fantasyland you meet the Toystoryland. What about the middle space that left. The government not yet give them extra place to put.
I found the ride is a good place to be in during hot summer days, can take a short break with aircon and comfy chair. The story and technical details? not too exciting
@Zombie Hunter I understand the language but there's just took much stuff going on during the ride and not very strong story line (or because there wasn't a movie as the background story), I took the ride numerous times and all I remember was the chair zooming around the rooms and nice aircon :)
Yeah most locals just visit it for the AC. My brothers and cousins prefer thrilled rides over MM and rarely visit it unless it's raining or something. We really should try to appreciate the ride tho

What I want to say is, lots of locals like this ride too. But for those who only visit for a day, this ride may not be their priority
When i visited hong kong i loved that ride so muchh why would someone not like it?
@@hyejuice_ people don't "hate" it, it's just that somehow they aren't as impressed as we are with the ride
I went on Mystic Manor 23 times when I visited Hong Kong Disneyland in 2018, by far disney's best ride!
I was lucky enough to go to a pass holder preview and we rode it about 50 times (with the occasional imagineer watching the crowd reactions 😁). The magic dust is so mind-boggling seeing it live. Videos don’t do it justice. It’s one of my top Disney rides.

What I want to know is how Henry Mystic has absolutely NO idea a part of his house was torn away by a tornado.
sebastian banguis because everything returned to normal when the music box was closed.
That is a huge plot hole, like the hole in Henry Mystic's Wall.
And also after Henry Mystic greet the guests in the first scene, guests are brought to the instruments room and as if by magic guests ended up being in the room in the first scene after visiting the China pavilion

A tip : you can watch series on KaldroStream. Me and my gf have been using them for watching lots of of movies lately.
When I rode this last summer I was blown away! It was amazing!
The "jade monkey" is actually 孫悟空Sun Wukong, the protagonist of a classic Chinese novel
the journey to the west right?
@@tomsautocadstudio6446 exactly
learning it is school was easy
random trivia about him:
he actually is a shapeshifter who can shapeshift into 72 forms, and he actually acquired his stick at the bottom of the ocean.
@@suleimansghk he was born from a rock like us :)))
I've been on the ride many times, and I am amazed at the lighting/projecting every time. Everything looks unreal.
The best original IP dark ride in recent years
Absolutely love this attraction!!! I didn't know much about it my first trip to HKDL. Then it ended up being the main reason I went back to the park again a year later.
Thank you for this video. Mystic Point and Mystic Manor are both themed so awesomely well . They’re my favorite part of visiting HK DL
One of my favorite Disney ride
I was blown away when I first sat on this ride in 2015. I made sure to avoid all spoilers and was so excited when I arrived at the boarding area - I couldn't stop looking at the trackless floor! My brother and I sat through the whole ride getting lost in the story and in all of the special effects. This video makes me want to go back and re-explore the ride.
行った時5分待ちだったな。。。音楽に惚れてリピ乗車しまくった思い出😭🤍 また行きたいッ！
I went to HKDL twice when I lived in Singapore just so I could ride this amazing ride!!!
You mentioned that they added lyrics in the Armory. But you didn't share what they were saying. You can hear what they're singing in ride-thru videos but I don't speak the language. Also, there's a singing bust from the original in the last room to the left of the "stage." Awesome Video! I wish we could see the scrim transitions with the lights on.
You can search the English lyrics on internet. I hear the Cantonese lyrics through different ride video,
Cantonese lyrics translate to English:
The strong magic is ready,
Don't close your eyes,
The story (of the music box) does say something but you (the monkey)ignore it,
Who will take back the place (Mystic Manor) that you gave us (armor/ everything that come alive),
Now the magic have appeared in this place.
Sorry for my bad English. Cuz I don't know Mandarin so I didn't translate it.

You have one of the most amazing channels on TH-cam. This is a ride I wouldn’t have considered but now I’m so totally into it. Love this video!

It appears that Disney does have the ability to create a complete original idea for a dark ride.
Part disney huge part china! Dont forget disney is renting their own park from the chinese goverment. They own next to nothing in the chinese parks.
The impressive technology and lush storytelling is only matched by how wonderfully cold the show building is in the humid Hong Kog summer. And that's coming from a Floridian!
Especially the Slavic room when the cloud blows ice everywhere
Not sure why this channel does not have much more subscribers? It does not make any sense!
Such an incredible channel with very polished and informative videos
That was really good, very enjoyable. Would love to go there one day, and now that I know the story behind it, would make it even more enjoyable
GREAT Tymeing stranger, I started going down the Mystic Manor rabbit hole yesterday and this video was just recommended to me. subbed
Thanks for the great videos in these weird times. Keep up the good work!
I love mystic manor. Definitely one of the best original disney attractions made to date.
Ik really enjoyed it when we were at disneyland HK last summer :D
Thank you so much for these recent deep dives into attractions! I loved learning all about the Tokyo Disney Sea ToT, I'd love to see a video on grizzly gulch!
Thank you for this! We were supposed to go during spring break. Looking forward to seeing it in person soon
Mystic manor is the best trackless ride personally.!
I Absolutely love this detailed look at individual rides....
Mystic manor is DEFINITELY worth a visit to Hong Kong Disneyland! Everything about the ride was just awesome!!! Ride it several times over our two day visit to the park. Can’t wait to go back to ride it again!

The show lasted for a month or two and was removed for good(i guess)
I haven't seen the show for years
Best Ride In All Disneylands!!!
I was assigned a project (work) in Hong Kong before the 2020 shutdowns…and had hoped to extend a site visit for a trip to HKDL…excited to experience Mystic Manor…but alas….
That was excellent thank you
Love this! Learned so much
"Jade monkey"
Sun Wukong doesn't deserve this level of disrespect
When I was small. I went there in rainy day. We walk near to the Mystic Manor and found that most of the people run to there and wait in the line. It was the longest queue I ever see in HKDL. The queue line have extracted to the Grizzly bear.

They always just think is too expensive and Disneyland is just for kids .🙄
I actually forced my papa to ride here!
He liked it, props.
I love it to bits tho!
I'm, like, 90% sure that monkey statue is Sun Wukong, the Monkey King.
Love these videos can you please do 20000 leagues under the sea attraction at Tokyo Disney Sea?!
Ah - scrims. Now I know. Clever!
Honestly, I came to HK disneyland and expecting it to be a boring small park (since I've been to disneysea anyway), but I like it, not too crowded, I can ride everything more than twice, but sadly I bought two days pass and on both days, there were thunderstorm! they need to cancel the parade and fireworks, kinda sad about that, I rode almost everything I want except the space mountain, I will go back there when I visit HK again for sure.
I rode mystic manor twice, and yes, car you get will make you experience slight difference experience in armor room (I forgot if there are differences in other rooms, but armor room is the most distinct one)
I just found your Channel, and I'm a new subscriber! Love your content, keep it up 👏👍😁
Mystic Manor is legit the best Disney dark ride on the planet! #OriginalStory
Two details I've never heard explained: Who is the female explorer, and why is there a USC banner in the Acquisitions Room? I assume one of the lead imagineers went to USC, but I've never known for sure. (Also, the bust in Acquisitions looks very similar to one of the singing busts.)
The female explorer is from SEA which located in Tokyo Disneysea. The main character of Soaring.
Mystic Manor inspired by Haunted Mansion. The pre-show room, busts, medusa's painting are take the concept from Haunted Mansion too.
Mitch Gill, the art Director was a Trojan. As was I. The video on that bust is of producer Mark Schirmer.
When I was in HKDL, I would do laps between this ride, and their version of small world. XD (Shout out to Ava who got me into pin trading there. ) and the best cart to ride in is #3 since #1 and #2 seem to miss the timing on the scenes. I have never ridden in #4
I hope you all mentioned my Head in the loading Area! Greetings from Germany, Im sitting here with my Albert Toy and enjoy the Video!
I want my dream house to look like Mystic Manor
Well, since you asked. The detailing and design of the queue and ride are excellent. I love the cartoon approach to it. The facade itself is one of Disney's greatest park masterworks. But I just feel like the limits of the ride system make it too dependent on one level, and that just keeps it at a Mr. Toad level experience. As such it's great, but it's not Haunted Mansion or Pirates. The staging and narrative seems really rushed too. I just don't have the love for this one that others do.
But if you just compare all the ride in HKDL. MM is the best one. Not dizzy, will not make you vomit. At that time 7 yrs ago, it was much high technique.
When I rode this ride, its the best ride in the whole park, to bad my family won't shut up during the ride because they confuse how record the video
You forgot to mention what Danny Elfman is probably best known for; the iconic 'Batman' theme! (and 'The Simpsons'!)
Im late but still Mystic Manor is one of the most AMAZING rides i have ever been to
I will love a version of this in Animal Kingdom
Yes they need 2 bring the ride to the states
The Jade Monkey is Sun Wukong.
You should do a review about Symbolica at Efteling!
Do you think run away railway has improved or just plateaued the technology
I want to go so badly ❤ 14:52
I didn't get to look closely at the photos in the queue. I wish there was enough time to do it before riding.
LISTEN UP!!!!!! EMAIL FROM DISNEY

Keep us in the loop!
@@ReviewTyme Just hopefully the soundtrack will be out in the future 😭😭😭
@@salami7031 Idk. But I also send an email to them and hope they will release soundtrack and lyrics.
all it takes is someone to touch the top of the music box? seems like that would happen quite a lot.
What will Shanghai get as far as a haunted attraction?
Man, I went to Hong Kong Disney back in 2007 and it sucked! I need to go back, apparently
zengseng 2007 was
only the second year of hk Disneyland! You have to go back, there are many more attractions now and there’s so much packed inside this magical place!
HKDL 2007 Halloween was amazing. Even better than now.
I'm surprised that they sunk millions upon millions into the attraction, and couldn't get a remotely real-looking monkey animatronic.
Looks like a fun ride! But i take symbolica over this anytime. I really dont like the over use of projections.
The jade-monkey statue is most likely a depiction of Lord Hanuman from Far-Eastern mythology. Well known in China/Hong-Kong.
it's Sun Wu Kong from Journey to the West. Or if you know anime Sun Goku
@@Ultim808 Good to know! And yes, I'm familiar with the story. But maybe I'll have to refresh my knowledge. Thanks! =)
i went to hong kong and shanghai disney (only parks i've been to) and Mystic Manor was a complete standout across the two and my absolute favourite at HK Disney so much so i rode it 3 times in one day hahahaha. I feel like people always put down HK as a small park thats not worth the visit but i'd totally disagree purely for this ride!
May I ask is Shanghai disneyland have large space but less attractions? The environment is it dirty and people are rude?
i thought the building looked like the Winchester Mansion in California
I love you
I wanna go so bad
Maybe next year. The coronavirus and the protest not yet end. If you come in the near future, be careful of the police. 😊
I think it’s a sister attraction of the tower of terror.
The owner of Tower of Terror, Mystic Manor and Soaring are from the SEA.
I am hong kong chinese!!!!!!! Mystic manor ride look like /act like night of the museum , not look like / act like haunted mansion/ phantom manor in other disneylands, also not look like / act like haunted house in alton tower!!!!!!!This is my opinion!!!!!!
As a Hong Kong Chinese, did you think building Mystic Manor is because of Chinese taboo? Saying that Chinese hate ghost things when HKDL celebrate Halloween. Or it just low budget and finding reasons. I think is low budget only.
@@alishanightshade3270 okic !!!!!!!!! In my opinion, I think that the reasons are both chinese taboo and low budget!!!!!!What do you think ?
@@davidyuen42 I just think that they celebrated Halloween but why they afraid for building Haunted mansion. Weird
@@alishanightshade3270 okic thanks /yes and I agree with you !!!!!!Anyway, where are you from?
@@davidyuen42 Hong Kong
Albert is to cute xd
My profile pic strongly approves of this attraction

I find Mystic Manor a child friendly haunted mansion
Spoiler Alert: I do not like hearing how the illusions work without a warning. It takes away some of the fun.
RDIF technology....
The prototype
For the mark
Of the beast!
it's not a great taboo in Chinese culture to talk about ghost and afterlife 😆it's all politics
I don't think the lack of references to ghosts stems from them being taboo, but rather due to the fact that depictions of ghosts in media are outright banned in China. I don't know how much of that is at play due to the special status of Hong Kong, but it's probably the reason why.
From HK, don't think that's at play here. There are tons of ghost stories on tv and in movies!
I think it's because a big percentage of the park visitors come from Mainland China, and they took that into account?
No one care about this China taboo in HK. They just want to attract more foreigners to travel to HK.
Actually the taboo is a very real thing. Just ask a Chinese person to tell you about Ghost Night, and they get VERY uncomfortable. Not sure if that's true in HK though, but it sure is in Guangdong.
@@paulthomas3247 Maybe in Guangdong only. I never heard people around me scare about ghost night or something about ghost.
Mystic Point is in the wrong place. It’s stupid you walk from Adventureland through Grizzly Gulch to get to it. The locations should have been reversed, and actually, Grizzly Gulch should have been built were the stupid Lion King show area was originally built).
Stupid? You're stupid then. Btw there's no place for them to build 3 new lands at the same period. Also the area of Lion King show have not enough place for land to build. And it happened in western not the jungle.
When you walk after the jungle you meet the west. Walk after Fantasyland you meet the Toystoryland. What about the middle space that left. The government not yet give them extra place to put.
这个特别不适合没有小孩的成年人去玩。
？
I found the ride is a good place to be in during hot summer days, can take a short break with aircon and comfy chair. The story and technical details? not too exciting
@Zombie Hunter I understand the language but there's just took much stuff going on during the ride and not very strong story line (or because there wasn't a movie as the background story), I took the ride numerous times and all I remember was the chair zooming around the rooms and nice aircon :)
Yeah most locals just visit it for the AC. My brothers and cousins prefer thrilled rides over MM and rarely visit it unless it's raining or something. We really should try to appreciate the ride tho
