Random Facts About WDW's Haunted Mansion

[Chernabog]

I would like to point out something that Imaginee99 just reminded me of, it's in his signature.

"For those who believe, no explanation is necessary. For those who do not, none will suffice."

So what am I saying... Can we just drop the chess piece thing? This guy obviously thinks he's got all the info on it and nothing any of you say is gonna make a difference and it doesn't seem like anyone else is being swayed by his info so don't worry. If he's trying to corrupt the world with false information and then slowly take it over you have obviously foiled this plan of his.

I guess we'll just have to wait till tomorrow night to see if he......

TRIES TO TAKE OVER (disney) WORLD!!! :lol:
Sorry couldn't help that one.

Anyone other interesting facts, surely we havn't found them all.

actually in the Haunted Mansion book I believe it is stated that they are designed and look like chess pieces but were not. They are actually, typical architecture style of the mansion's suppose era of being built.

I could be wrong about the source but i do believe i read it somewhere reliable.

Just because there are chess pieces in Roller Coaster Tycoon does not mean that they exist in Disney's park.

Whoa! Black Betty BAM DA BAM!!!!

Whoa Black Betty.... BAM-BA-LAM.... anyways....

... I had no idea there were so many interesting accounts of the stories behind the Haunted Mansion. I've looked for the ring many times, and after seeing the pictures posted on here, I don't think it's supposedly a ring, just my opinion, though.

I can't wait to go here in July and look out for all the things that I've never noticed... like the tag on the gate in the graveyard. I love this site... I learn more here than I do at school :lol:

When you see the "ring" in the ground, its obvious its not a real ring. If it was, the person it belonged to had a huge hand!!:lol: But its still fun to look for and find!!

If you check out Doombuggies.com they have tons of back stories about each and every part of the mansion. Its pretty neat.

Fun facts....

While most of your facts are very interesting... A couple of them are not completely true.

#4. The Portrait of the sailor is an original concept of the first owner of the Mansion yes.. But known as Captain Blood, and never Master Gracey. When Captian Bloods story was created for the first concept of the Mansion, it was going to be a walk through attraction and Captain Blood would sail in to the room in his boat and would disappear into a puddle of water, the lights would go out and many more cool effects.

As far as the animatronics appearing in other attractions, granny is not the only one. The Dueling Ghosts are duplicat AA from Pirates.... The Attic used to be alot scarier when the original pop up ghosts screamed "I Do" instead of just screaming.

Im not going to reveal much more than you did, being a current Cast Member I like to leave the majority of the magic still there for many guests. I will note that some awesome changes will be occuring soon at the WDW HM. A rehab is going to occur, but not the kind of rehab you would think of, its going to be an outside rehab for the queue and such. But dont get down about it, there will be some fixing up on the inside too.

The "I Do" pop-up ghosts are in DL HM, not in WDW. Besides the sound track was switched over during the last major rehab of the DL HM. The attic popup ghosts in WDW have never said "I Do", at least not over the past 20+ years I have been riding this ride.

Actually they did, ive never been to DL to hear their attic, I have heard WDW's many times from working there.

Unless this is a change that has been made in the past 2-3 months, then I don't think so. Never have the ghosts in the WDW HM said "I do".

Sorry everyone, not trying to be a pain in the butt here, but over the past 20 or so years of riding my favorite attraction, I have never heard of the attic ghosts saying "I do" in the WDW HM.

Take it from this HM fanatic - I've been visiting WDW's version since 1973 and can definately attest that the attic pop-ups have never done the ''I do..." bit in all that time. That is only a relatively recent addition to the DL HM attic's pop-ups...
