    This ride feels like it was designed by someone who had Phantom Manor @ Disneyland Paris explained to them very thoroughly, but the explanation was delivered via can-and-string phone and the listener was on cocaine.

    Although they clearly “borrowed” ideas from another well know ride and the theming is all over the place, still looks like an entertaining ride. It’s better than most boardwalk and carnival Haunted House rides.

    Damn, what a shame... there's obviously a lot of production value behind this and tons of potential. But instead of designing something fresh and new, they just completely and blatantly ripped off Disney with nothing to add to it. Imagine if they took all these resources and tried to create instead of imitate.

      Well, keep in mind this ride is 40 years old, back when the park had just started out. They've now built many high quality darkrides, like pirates in batavia, the most recent addition (which is obviously inspired by Pirates of the Caribbean, but follows a very different storyline and aesthetic) or the can can coaster, which - while found inside a huge epcot like ball, is actually a rollercoaster instead of a darkride like the original in epcot.

      They also did the "lower budget" version of the ghosts waltzing room (without peppers ghost trick), and the projected faces on the singing statutes... Some of the rooms were too cluttered, and it suffers from inconsistent theming - what story is this ride telling? No idea. Some nice tricks and sick layout though.

    What an awful stealing of ideas and copy from Disney's Haunted Mansion! Moreover, it is done in an awful way in which the effects are terrible and have no match to what Disney's Imageneering staff achieved. I am not from the USA and I am not an especially Disney company fan, but one must acknowledge this is probably a copyright infringement and on top of that awfully performed.

  • @CatchyJoe

    While i really like the Ghost Castle in Europa Park, i think it desperately needs an overhaul.
    Recently they added so much stuff that the ride doesn´t feel inconsistent with it´s own theme.
    For example they added this guy at 1:29. Before that it was an terrifying "Facility Manager" with it´s old dog barking, which fits way better then this puppet. Also i think that all these added Monitor stuff like you see at 2:18 is often questionable. The Sorcerer at 4:28 was originally at the queue at 0:10. Now there´s a .... "Pirate" for unknown reasons. But i think that has something to do with the Pirate Ride burned down and they had this puppet left from it.
    Europa Park has some of the best rides in terms of themes from any theme parks (well, from the ones i know), but this ride here feels sometimes out of place.
    I still love it!

    I know Europe has amazing horror stories. Germany has the darkest children's stories that they can easily implement. "The Marksman", "The Pied Piper of Hameln", "The White Woman", the original GERMAN VERSION of the "Sorcerer's Apprentice", "The Golem", etc. The original Haunted Mansion and Phantom Manor had a narrative about the previous owners and how they died, and the ride incorporated that story. This felt like a poor copy with a random assortment to differentiate itself ENOUGH from the originals.
