Haunted Mansion - Walt Disney World Quiz

Answer: October 1, 1971

Haunted Mansion was ready on opening day. The original opened in Disneyland in 1969.

Answer: 999

This one was too easy but remember, there is always room for one more.

Answer: English Tudor

Each Haunted Mansion is done differently. Walt didn't want the mansion to look run down. He felt that wouldn't fit into his parks.

Answer: 7.5

I wish it were even longer. Compared to ride times for the new attractions, it is an eternity.

Answer: Omnimover

The Omnimover gave the Imagineers 360 degree motion control. Through the use of turning and the shape of the Omnimover, the Imagineers could explicitly direct your attention. It was first used in Disneyland's Adventures Through Inner Space.

Answer: 960

That's 295 meters for the metric inclined. Check out some of the Haunted Mansion websites to see the actual ride diagram. It's amazing how much Disney can pack into a fairly tight space.

Answer: Walt Disney

There are many more great names like: Manny Festation, Metta Fisiks, Pearl E. Gates, Rusty Gates, C. U. Later, Hal Lucinashun, Rustin Peese, I.M. Ready, Emma Spook, ...

Answer: Liberty Square

This is the only attraction that is in each park and each in a different land.

Answer: New Orleans Square

Disneyland does not have a Liberty Square.

Answer: Fantasyland

It's about 7.5 minutes in length in Tokyo. The same as Walt Disney World.

Answer: Frontierland

The Phantom Manor in Disneyland Paris is based upon a western theme.

Answer: Grim Grinning Ghosts

The music throughout the attraction is a variation of the tune and words. Listen to the music slow down or speed up depending upon the scene. At times it's hard to hear but it is there. The only other music is the wedding march played briefly in the attic.

Answer: Mello Men

The imagineers used this talent throughout the parks and in films. The members are Bill Lee, Max Smith, Bob Stevens and Thurl Ravenscroft. Thurl is the soloist and is one of the faces on the singing busts along with many other appearances.

Answer: Ballroom - graveyard

Cast members may place other Hidden Mickeys but these two are listed by Disney. In the ballroom the effect is created by the formation of three plates. In the graveyard it is formed by the Grim Reaper's fingers.

Answer: Little Leota

The body and voice belong to Leota Thomas. Mrs. Thomas is also the face in the crystal ball. Mrs. Thomas' maiden name was Toombs.

Answer: Madame Leota

It's very interesting to learn how they did this effect. Most of us probably thought it was a hologram but holograms were not available back then. It is a neutral face being projected upon.

Answer: nice effect

In Disneyland the elevator gets guests from the facade, below the railroad, and then on to the ride portion. They liked the effect so much they kept it in even though it was not needed.

Answer: False

The furthest bust may resemble Walt, but it is actually Thurl Ravenscroft. Thurl was also the voice of 'Tony the Tiger'.

Answer: 3

They rotate with each omnimover. They are: Gus, Ezra, and Phineas.

Answer: Pepper's Ghost

I won't ruin the effect for you here but there are several HM websites that have great info on this illusion and many more. The illusion involves mirrors and animatronics. Also, due to the reverse effect caused by the mirrors, the women are all leading the men in dancing.
