@@thebeluvdtrex The guest exit is a conveyor like what's used at the ride platform. This "secret" entrance is a preexisting exit placed next to the elevator, it doubles as employee access and a way for second thought guests to exit before it's too late.
check themepark Efteling in the Netherlands. a very old park with a long history started in 1933 as sportpark. they been expending and growing with a playground for kids with a carousel and ever since they been growing step by step into a amazing amusement Park theme fairytale inspired by Anton Piek drawings.. the decorations there are also amazing and if I am not mistaken Disney hired the people who are specialised in amusement ride decorations who worked for Efteling before. the old first full on amusement rides and walk throughs are still kept. could be considered as antiques now 😊. they have many new ones as well. rides that are beautiful decorated are droomvlucht ( dreamflight ) as example.
I went yesterday, and yes, this alternate entrance is available if you ask a cast member. You bypass the stretching room experience and go straight onto the ride itself. If the stretching room means that much to you and your overall experience, then obviously stay in the main queue. When I was there, it was a 45 min wait. By skipping the stretching room, I only waited 5 mins. Totally recommend.
@@mollycblaeser oh yeah. they've always had these extra entrances idk why people are acting like it's new. there's one for, Indiana, Pirates, Splash Mountain... the rest for handicapped you just enter where the exit is that's why there's always a cast member at the exits we go to them and they guide us on.
Amazing, I’m 43 and remember those dancing couples that I saw at Disneyland when I was 8. When the main attraction at universal city was back to the future cafe, clock tower, the psycho house, bates motel. When life was good
I remember when I was little my sister and I freaked out in the normal line because it scared us. Our mom took us outside, and a kind employee noticed us. She helped mom comfort us and then took us in through this entrance so we could still go on the ride without having the scary entrance. That was so long ago but I remember it so well. And the ride was fun after that. :) I'm so thankful for the magical staff of Disney
I remember when I went on this ride the first time in 1994 and it's still one of the best and authentic rides at Disney - there were some other great rides that unfortunately closed down - so pleased to see this one remained
This is my observations of whatever changed since I last experienced the ride. 1:04 This area is much more well lit (probably to see the tape on the floor) 3:15 Once upon a time, the palantir (glass ball) didn't float around; it was stationary to the table. 5:02 This guy seems new to me... although he might've been an original character way before my time (...was born in '93). 5:476:15 These last two time stamps show some seemingly advanced spirits in the graveyard. I don't remember seeing such detail on these characters during my childhood visits. Oh, and if you aren't a local visitor, you may not have been told that much of Disneyland gets decorated for the holidays and the Haunted Mansion is one example of a ride that receives a huge annual overhaul that include themes from Nightmare Before Christmas decor, audio, and animatronics. My favorite time of year is Autumn and Winter for the park changes and comfortable weather, but beware that much of Disneyland's rides frequently close during any precipitation (for some reasons) so keep the weather forecast in mind if you're not local.
Everyone: "Man it would be soo cool see backstage at the haunted mansion!" Disney: "Ok this is what its like backstage at the haunted mansion" Everyone: *complains about getting to see backstage at the haunted mansion
I went there back in 1976 with my father,brother and grandmother. We really enjoyed and watched it. It’s so cool! I never forget that. I still remember some of them. It has been 45 years ago. WoW! I was 14 years old at that time.
I was just there yesterday they asked us in line if we wanted to skip 15 steps but we would miss the expanding room , this is an alternative to getting people in faster
@@ClaudiaGarcia-li1yz Back when I went to Disney World in February, they had everyone just walk through the expanding room without doing the effects of it. Haunted Mansion is my favorite ride in Disney World and I'm not gonna lie, it kinda ruined the magic for me a bit
@@thedarknight9157 Unfortunately it wouldn't be the wisest idea to put a bunch of people in a room together during the pandemic. I'm sure within a year, they'll bring the stretching rooms back.
@@fearoffema It ruins the experience to get to go in an area backstage that's reserved solely for cast members and emergency exits, meaning almost no guests ever get to visit it? Okay.
To anyone says that he has the easiest job or anything like that: sure, it’s fun but don’t forget getting all this footage and editing it all is one helluvah job. Who knows how many times he needs to go through to get the best shots. Also, the years of perfecting his style+the dedication is nothing to sneeze at. I’ve seen people do similar videos who didn’t or couldn’t provide this level of quality. Pieces would be missing, sections wouldn’t be as clear. This is especially true for walkthru attractions and jump scares. He probably has to line up often to go through attractions a few times just to map out the walkthru attractions properly. Point is, making what you find fun a job doesn’t make it any less of a job. I’m sure this is still hard work and DEFINITELY challenging.
Oh so THAT’S what the ride part looks like. I’ve gone through the haunted house several times since I was a kid and always had my eyes closed the entire ride, so I’ve never really seen what went on!
We were just there and trust me, the secret entrance was a cool thing very few people will get to experience. Not to mention we waited 2 minutes instead of 30 for the ride.
@@justiceforall3739 Going in a back door down some stairs is not how the ride was intended. It might be different because you don't take the elevator down, but part of the experience is gone. So what if they put some decorations in the hallway? 30 minutes is not a long time to wait. Big deal you got on in 2 minutes.
This was one of my favorite rides at Disney World! The only time I rode it was in 1981 when I was 15yrs old. Thanks for posting video. It brought back some good memories. I hope one day soon I get to go back after all these yrs!
Brings back awesome memorues of my OE. I was there in 1980, i was 18, this was one of my favs too, as was space mountain. What a magical place, hopefully one day we will go back there!
It’s weird to watch to go in a different way but yet intriguing. Though given the circumstances at the moment, hopefully sooner rather then later the pandemic ends, this by all accounts makes sense and this new update looks great!
This is the standard "go around" entrance that has been there for decades with some added props. We used to use this entrance for guests that were either too scared of the expanding rooms or had epilepsy. We also used it as an exit for guest when they made it passed the expanding room but were to afraid to continue onto the ride portion of the attraction.
Haha, I don't know how, but the first time I went on I was fine, but the second time, I had made it past the stretching room and I got too scared. I was only a child, but I remember the elevator floor thumped very hard that time. Does that happen sometimes? Does the elevator jolt when it reaches the bottom?
@@Potacintvervs the floor has a very boomy sound if you stomp or jump on it. Some cast members would stomp once in a while to add extra scares. I have also seen guests get scared and jump a little which the floor can bang loudly. But, I promise the floor is strong. We were told to rough count up to 80 guest per group knowing we could add more than that in the space of the room.
@@DrewMunns Wow, thank you for the fast reply! That makes a lot of sense. I remember that thud scared me do badly. I'm not sure if the cast member did it when the thunder clapped or when the body hit the floor, it's been well over a decade now. Thanks again! I think I know what to do to my sister when we go to Phantom Manor in a few days haha.
Quick question, Would I be able to skip the line if I say I want to skip the elevator? If I say I were too sensitive for it would I basically skip the line?
No matter your age, Disney always made you feel like a kid again. This was my favorite ride; I like when the chair would tip you back and then the ghost on the shoulder at the end.
I used to go to a college near Anaheim Disneyland so (usually) twice a week a group of us would spend afternoons after class at Disneyland. Wasn’t much else to do in Anaheim/Santa Ana. Naturally I went on the Haunted Mansion ride quite a bit. It was good because it was cool on a hot day. So strange seeing this video where it feels as though there is no one else there…
Isn’t anyone gonna talk about how the dancing couples in the ballroom scene look awfully like some of our fave princesses??? A few of them look like Cinderella and Prince Charming, and one of them is unmistakably Anna and Hans! Have no idea where they could have gotten that idea from since Disneyland has no Cinderella or Frozen rides (unless I’m going mad lol)
I guess the portraits in that hallway are to let you know that you’re walking past the elevators with the stretching portraits on the other side of the wall.
I was just there yesterday they asked us in line if we wanted to skip 15 steps but we would miss the expanding room , this is an alternative to getting people in faster because the expanding room only holds 5 groups so it takes longer
Yup we ran in a few cm friends and they went you wanna get out of the heat. Was a cool experience to say the least but doing ROTR twice in one day was killer
that is a nice alternative for people who dont really care about ambiance and just want to ride the ride. But then again, I question why you even go to Disneyland if youre not taking in the ambiance.
I watched your video last night and I was mesmerized by how beautiful the quality and colors were, considering how dark the ride is at least when I used to ride it well over 20 years ago. I think the extra-wide lens you used was very helpful. I used to go to Disneyland at least once every year when I lived in the Valley, that is why I am very grateful to you and others for going on the rides and shooting videos that I will probably never see again. I would have given my left nut to have had a camera that could shoot video that dark knowing that at that time the tech was not there. You should do a video of the equipment you use for the various rides you go on especially the very dark-lit rides. Keep up the great work!
I remember the original haunted house. It's literally the exact same ride just modern day version. Truly appreciate these videos reminding me why I don't go back to Disney Land.
The one from 1969? And it’s not like they haven’t added new stuff. Star Wars land, Avengers Campus, and if you actually haven’t gone since Haunted Mansion’s opening, California Adventure is new. Plus Disney World is entirely new if you haven’t gone to Disney since 1969. Plus Haunted Mansions has received a ton of updates from the 1969 version. Assuming you were in your 20s - 30s last time you went, you would be in your 70s or 80s. I can see on your channel you have an interest in DJing, which isn’t impossible for an 80 year old, but not likely. Or if you are talking about the version from 2020 before the park closed, They aren’t making an entirely new ride. They just freshened things up a bit.
It's so nice that there's a secret entrance to this spooky attraction in times of when people are very afraid to go into The Stretching Room. Unfortunately, it has been believed to be reserved only for people who are riding in wheelchairs or motorized scooters. 👍🏼if you hauntingly agree.
The elevator scene absolutely TERRIFIED me as a kid (as in, I had a full-on meltdown and had to be guided out) so I'm happy they added this. Maybe some other young kids won't be nearly as scared now
Went to the one in Disney World in Florida right around the time the park was just opening. Almost 50 years ago, 72-73 when I was 7-8 yrs. old. Again in 79' and in 94'.
What a classic, gets better with age. I'm fine with minor tweaks; looks amazing (just hope I don't live to see a day that a "controversy" shuts it down for good).
Haha, that "secret" entrance used to just be an easy way for cast members to get to the load positions, or to walk across the show hallway to control. Crazy to see it decorated and actually used as a secondary entrance. Makes me wonder if door #4 is the only way for Cast Members to get in and out of the ride unseen now, since the breakroom door isn't exactly obscured, being completely visible from the queue.
There's a door in the portrait hallway opposite the portraits. There are "windows" all around the door that make it look like it's storming outside. Most people never look in that direction because they are watching the portraits change
I went to Disneyland once in about 2001 maybe, towards the end of January... there was hardly nobody there! We got to go on the rides with no wait at all, some rides they’d let us ride 2 and 3 times in a row without getting off, it was the best Disney visit I ever had. Also had one similar visit to Great America in Santa Clara in the late 90s, we stayed on the Tidalwave till we were sick! Had the whole place to ourselves, I don’t remember what time of year that was tho..
@@josephm4923 the disneyland and disneyworld haunted mansion buildings are completely different. same for the paris one and the asian versions. all different inside and out.
this and pirates of the carribean were my 2 favorite rides in the late 1960s and late 70s.still looks the same.used to go here almost every month,got in free. my moms friends husband worked in the park and used to get us in free.i believe it cost over 20 bucks to get in and we used tickets for the rides later on they got rid of the tickets.
the ride is that old i thought it was newer because of the haunted mansion movie with eddie murphy plus i couldn't afford a ticket to disney by myself i only went for free because my brother is a cast member in florida but everything else was expensive also a 20 ounce bottle of coke cost me 5 dollars next time i'll shop at the dollar tree for all my goodies and soda jeez greedy much i couldn't go there as a kid because my parents were cheapskates
Haunted house?? I have just been greeted with someone trying to come across as scary and yet using manners. Like what is scary about that? Please? in a haunted mansion? asking me kindly to keep my arms and legs inside the cart! and being concerned about a gap that looked non-existent! I was literally sat there and was like he could've said "there is a gap between the platform and the ride. Fall through it at your own peril". I then saw the gap and was like "aint no one falling through that". What a way to kill the mood! Glad to see you are living up to your reputation as always America! :)
I paused as soon as I went on. I will never give Disney one red cent of my money again. They have turned out to be the biggest disappointment in my life and I am 68 years old. You have shattered the dream of Walt Disney.
Kudos to them for putting April/December back in, but I do think Master Gracey (the aging man) from Magic Kingdom would've been better. That one's much creepier in my opinion.
This is awesome. I went through here when I was there on opening day and my mom got a video. The entire hallway is so cool considering it is themed too.
I love this ride so much. Some of the best childhood memories for me were spent at Disney. It looks like you were the only one there. All the seats around you look empty. Is it bc of social distancing or did they let you in the park early??
I remember this ride as a kid in about 1976ish. The zombies popping up out of coffins? Scared me! I will never do business with Disneyland because the changes of the original rides and night time parade of lights. The original Nautilus submarine ride was the best. If something ain't broke don't fix it.

I can see on your channel you have an interest in DJing, which isn’t impossible for an 80 year old, but not likely. Or if you are talking about the version from 2020 before the park closed, They aren’t making an entirely new ride. They just freshened things up a bit.
It's so nice that there's a secret entrance to this spooky attraction in times of when people are very afraid to go into The Stretching Room. Unfortunately, it has been believed to be reserved only for people who are riding in wheelchairs or motorized scooters. 👍🏼if you hauntingly agree.
This is one of those rides that you just wanna stop and stare at everything even the costumes are so cute!!
The elevator scene absolutely TERRIFIED me as a kid (as in, I had a full-on meltdown and had to be guided out) so I'm happy they added this. Maybe some other young kids won't be nearly as scared now
You probably shouldn’t have gotten in line for an obviously scary ride if that made you have a meltdown

No one in our family had been on the ride before, and we thought it would be Disney level scary.
The cutest ride in the world
Love haunted mansion and pirates of the carribean rides. Especially on the hot days.
Haven't been in 20 years.. can't beat this classic, some things are best kept the same!
Thank you for sharing... love your channel!!
She reminds you to psychically distance while she stands in the door way and you have to squeeze past her to get in.
Went to the one in Disney World in Florida right around the time the park was just opening. Almost 50 years ago, 72-73 when I was 7-8 yrs. old. Again in 79' and in 94'.
Love this ride so much! If this was universal everything would be on a movie screen >:(
What.
The Florida version maybe my childhood but i can still feel nostalgia.
Damn, the Graveyard scene really pops this time around!
they made me go through this entrance on the first day back i was so excited
What a classic, gets better with age. I'm fine with minor tweaks; looks amazing (just hope I don't live to see a day that a "controversy" shuts it down for good).
Agreed.
I will never forget the ghost sitting behind my parents and I that I saw in the mirror in the cart. I was 7 years old. Scared the daylights out of me!
god i love watching these
man's a legend for going thru that entire ride by his hEcKiNg self with nothing but his camera to keep him company??!💀💀💯
Haha, that "secret" entrance used to just be an easy way for cast members to get to the load positions, or to walk across the show hallway to control. Crazy to see it decorated and actually used as a secondary entrance.
Makes me wonder if door #4 is the only way for Cast Members to get in and out of the ride unseen now, since the breakroom door isn't exactly obscured, being completely visible from the queue.
I actually got to go through this entrance !! I had no idea too
Brings me back to my childhood memories
Really cool to see the secret entrance. Just wish it showed how they got from there into the loading area.
There's a door in the portrait hallway opposite the portraits. There are "windows" all around the door that make it look like it's storming outside. Most people never look in that direction because they are watching the portraits change
But I LOVE the stretching room scene! 😂😂
ye
yeah the stretching room at Disneyland CA is better bc I like the downward motion.
Utterly fabulous and I LOVE the mirrors reflections at the end 😍👻😍
i am absolutely wheezing at the amount of puns in the tombs at 0:13 to 0:20
I went to Disneyland once in about 2001 maybe, towards the end of January... there was hardly nobody there! We got to go on the rides with no wait at all, some rides they’d let us ride 2 and 3 times in a row without getting off, it was the best Disney visit I ever had.
Also had one similar visit to Great America in Santa Clara in the late 90s, we stayed on the Tidalwave till we were sick! Had the whole place to ourselves, I don’t remember what time of year that was tho..
Whaoo, backstages at Disneyland are more themed than Walt Disney Studios Paris on stage.
It's not meant to be themed, it's backstage, duh. This has clearly been quickly repurposed. It looks cheap, pathetic and rushed.
This isn't really backstage anymore as it's being used for guests. It's unthemed in the actively backstage areas.
I’m not even sure if this is a Disneyland ride. Walt Disney World has the exact same ride at Magic Kingdom. I’m so confused
@@josephm4923 take a look at the title of the video, which should answer your question.
@@josephm4923 the disneyland and disneyworld haunted mansion buildings are completely different. same for the paris one and the asian versions. all different inside and out.
This always a favorite ride of mine the couple of times I have been.
I did this entrance too! I thought it was weird a first but we skipped the whole line and got into the ride in like less than 5 minutes!
I have pains every day these vids make me happy
this and pirates of the carribean were my 2 favorite rides in the late 1960s and late 70s.still looks the same.used to go here almost every month,got in free. my moms friends husband worked in the park and used to get us in free.i believe it cost over 20 bucks to get in and we used tickets for the rides later on they got rid of the tickets.
the ride is that old i thought it was newer because of the haunted mansion movie with eddie murphy plus i couldn't afford a ticket to disney by myself i only went for free because my brother is a cast member in florida but everything else was expensive also a 20 ounce bottle of coke cost me 5 dollars next time i'll shop at the dollar tree for all my goodies and soda jeez greedy much i couldn't go there as a kid because my parents were cheapskates
I can't imagine what the monthly electric bill is for running all those lights and projectors.
I did the secret entrance at WDW with my parents, which was cute. This looks so fun!
My absolute FAVORITE RIDE!! Thank you for sharing! 💜
My absolute favorite ride at Disney.
I've taken the Haunted Mansion ride at Disney as well. Great special effects!
I remember this ride so much and still awesome
Haunted house?? I have just been greeted with someone trying to come across as scary and yet using manners. Like what is scary about that? Please? in a haunted mansion? asking me kindly to keep my arms and legs inside the cart! and being concerned about a gap that looked non-existent! I was literally sat there and was like he could've said "there is a gap between the platform and the ride. Fall through it at your own peril". I then saw the gap and was like "aint no one falling through that". What a way to kill the mood! Glad to see you are living up to your reputation as always America! :)
I paused as soon as I went on. I will never give Disney one red cent of my money again. They have turned out to be the biggest disappointment in my life and I am 68 years old. You have shattered the dream of Walt Disney.
Ok Debbie sit down.
This ride has been there for a long time. It gave me the creeps when I was at 8. Most of all the ghost will follow you home part!👻 That 28 years ago.
awesome low light camera. thank you for this haunting experience
Wow beautiful place. I want to go
it looks so fun fellow kpop lover :)
Kudos to them for putting April/December back in, but I do think Master Gracey (the aging man) from Magic Kingdom would've been better. That one's much creepier in my opinion.
Woah the secret entrance was awesome! haha
I got stuck on this ride for a whole ten minutes and then got stuck on a Harry Potter ride at universal studios in one trip lol
One of my favorite rides ever 🎉✨
The last ghost on reflection mirror was the only part that i remembered when i was a kid
I loved the Haunted mansion too
I would never skip the elevator it's the brainchild on entering into the Haunted Mansion
He had no choice.
This is awesome. I went through here when I was there on opening day and my mom got a video. The entire hallway is so cool considering it is themed too.
Miss April is back 😍😍
DISNEYLAND
I love riding the ride at Disney land.💜💜💜😊🖤
日本より装飾が華やかですっごく素敵、、、、🥀🎩
どっちがぱくたん？
そうなの？知らなかった。
I love this ride so much. Some of the best childhood memories for me were spent at Disney. It looks like you were the only one there. All the seats around you look empty. Is it bc of social distancing or did they let you in the park early??
this is why you are standing in ride lines for 4 hours, secret entrances to make the wait even longer for everyone else in the main line.
I remember this ride as a kid in about 1976ish. The zombies popping up out of coffins? Scared me! I will never do business with Disneyland because the changes of the original rides and night time parade of lights. The original Nautilus submarine ride was the best. If something ain't broke don't fix it.
I’ve seen lots of people post that entrance on social media lately but I believe there using it for social distancing purposes. Nice ride
I am seeing this in light off and its amazing 😍❤️
