Name: Terrors Of America
Redesign Of: Liberty Square
Landmark: The Haunted Mansion
Theme: Colonial Village, New Orleans, Salem Witches, Sleepy Hollow, Ghosts, Weird Artifacts, Cemetery, Voodoo, and Jean Lafitte
The exterior of The Haunted Mansion remains the same with the exception of two aged copper gryphons with red, glowing eyes sitting atop the gate posts, replicated from Tokyo Disneyland, and a sailboat weathervane replacing the bat weathervane. The standby queue is changed to go through a pet cemetery, past the imagineer graves, and around a gazebo in an overgrown garden playing the creepy music box tune from Phantom Manor’s queue and the sounds of blowing wind, Thunder, and rain. Guests enter the mansion through the same door as usual.
The foyer remains the same with the exception of Phantom Manor’s Foyer music. The Stretching Room gets new wallpaper with blue and white vertical lines, based on how Disneyland’s looked on opening day, and Phantom Manor’s Stretch Room music. The Ghost Host is interrupted by an evil Sea Captain, played by Jeremy Irons (Original voice of Scar), who says that there is no turning back and the only way to escape is HIS WAY. (Cue hanging skeleton)
Guests then walk through a Haunted Museum, playing Phantom Manor’s loading area theme, lined with artwork from all over the world that do something ominous as they pass. These are An Egyptian Mosaic Of Cleopatra (Changes from woman in white gown to black panther), The Tapestry Of The Black Knight (Changes from human to skeleton), Painting Of A Ship (Becomes a tattered ship in a storm), Engraving Of Doctor Faustus (An old man becomes a flaming devil holding a wax sealed envelope with a soul), Chinese Painting Of Flowers (A bouquet in a vase withers away), Wanted Poster Of Guy Fawkes (Barrels of gunpowder explode behind him), Portrait Of Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn (Anne Boleyn’s head vanishes off her neck), Portrait Of Ivan The Terrible (Eyes follow guests as they pass), The Statue Of Nero (Plays Grim Grinning Ghosts on the fiddle), Engraving Of Opera Glasses Lady (watches), Portrait Of The Sea Captain (turns to skeleton), Portrait Of The Witch Of Walpurgis (turns into a GOAT), Portrait Of Vlad The Impaler (Turns to a bat), Wanted Poster Of Jack The Ripper (stares), Portrait Of The Couple (watches), Photo Of Rasputin (Eyes grow and merge into one big eye), Painting Of The Villager (Becomes a wolf), Fresco Of Medusa (Transforms from girl to gorgon), Portrait Of Hatchet Man (Hatchet reflects light), Global Masks ( Pacific Northwest Native Monster Mask, African Monster Mask, Papua New Guinea Native Mudman Mask, Tiki Mask, Balinese Barong Mask, Japanese Kitsune Mask, European Plague Mas, Greek Actor's Mask, and Aztec Skull Mask that watch as guests go past), and Painting Of April December (changes from young to old).
Guests board their doombuggies in a hallway lined with trophy heads that move. The ride goes under the stairwell with the floating candelabra and into the library and music room, which have a book called Ghost Registry and Phantom Manor's conservatory piano music respectively. Guests ascend the endless staircase and enter the endless hallway. Live actors dressed as knights wander through the hallway and corridor of doors, then, shouting with their arms outstretched, turn to guests to scare them. The hallway, coffin room, corridor, and clock are the same, but a cane and teacup are added to the conservatory. Madame Leota’s room is made to look like an actual room with Arabian Textiles, Egyptian Artifacts, and Chinese pottery. The ballroom remains the same. The Attic has lost the piano, large portraits, and projected Constance in exchange for screaming blast up heads, moaning pop up ghosts, the Hatbox Ghost, flying bats, a spider’s web hanging above the ballroom entrance, floating orbs of light, disembodied hands coming out of the attic walls and grasping at guests, glowing eyes, scampering rats, a hatchet, and a Beating Heart Bride wearing pearls and surrounded by Constance’s wedding portraits that uses Constance’s voice lines in eerie silence. The descent leads into a catacomb of skeletons exiting coffins and dancing to Phantom Manor’s Catacomb Jazz. The cemetery is the same. Guests enter the crypt and see animatronic hitchhikers in the mirror instead of animated ones. Guests pass under Little Leota and into the unload. As guests exit into Memento Mori, they hear a deep voiced phantom cackling.
The interactive crypts are moved from the queue to the exit to form a separate Haunted Cemetery sub-attraction that guests can access without having to ride through the mansion. A hedge maze is also located in the cemetery. Memento Mori is moved to the Mansion exit and a new Hocus Pocus attraction is built next to the Columbia Harbor House Seafood Cafe.
In front of the mansion, Olde Salem Towne stands. This area is actually an attraction, HOCUS POCUS: ESCAPE THE SANDERSON SISTERS. Tour guides take guests through Olde Salem Towne, passing beautiful cabins, only to stumble upon The Sanderson Cottage. Once inside, guests must find a way to escape with the children intact! Binx the cat will help guests along the way. In order to escape, guests must unlock the book of spells, perform a copying spell, unlock potion ingredients, and prepare a potion to make witches disappear. All the while, the Sanderson Sisters are slowly returning from the dead, as Mary smells children in their home. If guests succeed in the goal, the Sanderson Sisters will begin flashing before fading out of existence. If guests do not succeed, the children are taken by the Sanderson sisters to be used in their immortality potion! (Really, the children are lead out of the room early.) This area is full of actors portraying fearful villagers! The town is decorated with dried cornstalks, pumpkins, and a pillory in the center!
The Hall of Presidents is replaced by the Church, Bridge, School, and Farmhouse of Sleepy Hollow! This facade holds The Legend Of The Headless Horseman, a stop motion film based on Disney’s Sleepy Hollow using paper images for most of the story, but sculptures of Ichabod and The Headless Horseman for the climatic chase!
Replacing Liberty Tree and Diamond Horseshoe, a New Orleans subsection is built to ease transition to Tiana's Bayou Adventure. The main draw is a Haunted Mansion Restaurant, named Gracey's Ball. The facade is a smaller version of Disneyland’s Antebellum facade. Guests enter through the front door and walk into The Waiting Room, where Madame Leota, making a rare full body appearance in her 50th Anniversary costume, will perform tea leaf, tarot, and palm readings with guests to entertain them as they wait. Guests enter a door on a balcony, descend, and dine in a small replica of The Ballroom, where they can watch the waltzing spirits dance to the organist's tunes. Sometimes, the spirits may come over to dance with guests. The Museum Of The Weird, located in a small alcove near the organist, allows visitors to experience an unrealized concept with added mocktails! Guests can drink coconut milk and orange juice Candle Wax that flows down from the Wax Candle Man in a way resembling melting wax! Another drink is Man Eating Plant Sap, limeade with melon soda! It leaks from the man eating plant's stem! The plant snaps at guests as they get the drink! The restrooms, themed to the mansion’s bathrooms, located near the fireplace, are decorated with Crump Demon Face Wallpaper and have Hitchhiking Ghost mirrors, complete with the same effect as the original! Guests exit through the same door they entered from.
A cemetery is located on the riverside across from Gracey’s Ball. It is home to Museum Of The Weird and Lafitte’s Cafe.
Museum Of The Weird is to the left. Guests enter a crypt labeled Museum Of The Weird. This leads to a chamber with Crump Demon Wallpaper covering every wall as Ominous Classical Music is played on an organ. Guests see the human faced chair, who says, "Greetings! Welcome to The Museum Of The Weird! The exhibits are in dire need of help, The Candle is melting, the Plant is crazy, and Leota’s woeful. Help the museum!” Guests then enter a chamber with five doors, one of which they just exited from as ominous flute plays. This chamber is a Gothic Vaulted Chamber decorated with symbols painted on the walls, skulls and spell books on the shelves, a fog filled cauldron in the center, and show globes and plasma balls. Guests find The Wax Candle Man, who cries out in pain, “I will melt!” as frantic xylophone plays. They help him escape from the flames by way of a door feeling maze. If they touch a hot door, there is fire behind it. Then, guests avoid the tendrils of the Man Eating Plant in a Laser Maze themed to a greenhouse. Finally, they find Madame Leota, who weeps, "Oh! My lost orb in my cart. I need it to do my magic!” Guests then navigate a mirror maze to find The Orb inside of the wagon. At the end, Leota says’ “Thank You!” Guests exit through a wide chamber lined with suits of Medieval armor, portraits of ghosts from all over the world, Witches Sabbath and Saturn Devouring His Son by Goya, Rodin’s Gates Of Hell, and carved skulls, all of which seem to watch guests as they pass. The organ music from the beginning hauntingly loops in an echoing tone!
Lafitte’s Cafe is to the right. Guests enter the crypt of Jean Lafitte and wander through a catacomb hallway lined with skulls to an outdoor dining area themed to a wrecked pirate ship where rum, meat, fish, grog, lime juice, Coconut Milk, shrimp, crab, lobster, and other Gulf Coast Pirate commodities are served to guests by Lafitte’s ghost crew!
To the left of Gracey’s Ball, there is a dark alley that leads to Dr Facilier’s Voodoo Emporium. This is a Savi’s type shop in which an employee of the doctor’s, dressed in his suit but with a fascinatior if female, leads guests in creating A talisman similar to the one on Facilier’s Necklace, A mask similar to the giant horned mask he displays, and A Mystical Staff, similar to Facilier’s cane. The talisman is made by putting the mouth on the top of the head. It has a button effect where the eyes glow red as drums play. The mask is a few pieces that connect. The two horns and the lower jaw go on the head. The effect is a button being pressed, causing it to project shadow demons from the eyes. The Cane, plastic ball on plastic rod, projects lavender and lime fireworks that explode into sigils, similar to the end of Friends On The Other Side while the song, beginning with Are You Ready, plays. The shop’s interior is lined with African masks that blink and move their jaw. The center is a crescent shaped desk with a red table cloth with packages containing materials for the objects. The CM spiel is the following:
(The door creaks open on its own as flames jet from three skulls, illuminating the name)
(The CM walks out the door with a staff)
CM: Hello there, I’m [NAME] and I work for Doctor Facilier. Enter the Voodoo Emporium with me and be seated at the table, for I will teach you how to do the mystic art of Voodoo.
(Guests enter and sit on a stool in front of the desk. The CM enters first and goes to a large armchair)
CM: First, I shall teach you how to create a talisman, all you need is in the package.
(Guests open the package)
CM: Now just attach the lower jaw to the top. I can help if needed.
(After everyone finished, CM says this)
CM: Now, press the button on the back and hear spirits banging on the drums in the Other Side. Now, we shall move on to a Mystic Mask, just like the ones surrounding.
(The Masks blink and move their jaws)
CM: Now, attach the horns to the top, then, the jaw to the bottom. I can assist if needed.
(After everyone is done, CM says this)
CM: Now, press the button to release Spirit Shadows from The Other Side! The final thing is a Mystic Staff, like what I carry!
(They raise the staff)
CM: Attach your crystal ball to the rod, then press the button to release the spirits of The Other Side! It is with remorse that I bid you farewell now, exit and come back once more!
(The CM points at the door, which opens on its own. Once the CM is done talking, they run into a cabinet. This is to make it seem like they magically vanished.)
(Guests exit)
