The Haunted Mansion is a horror/thriller themed dark-ride attraction located at Disneyland, Magic Kingdom, and Tokyo Disneyland. The haunted house attraction features a ride-through tour in Omnimover vehicles called "Doom Buggies" and a walk-through show is displayed to the queue line. Each location differs slightly in design, utilizing a range of technology from centuries-old theatrical effects to modern special effects, including Audio-Animatronics.
The ride was in development for over a decade after the park opened and was one of the last projects made under Walt Disney's direction. The Haunted Mansion inspired two loosely similar but distinct attractions, Phantom Manor and Mystic Manor, at Disneyland Park Paris and Hong Kong Disneyland, respectively. Franchise media includes television specials, merchandise, comic strips, and two feature films; The Haunted Mansion released in 2003, and Haunted Mansion released in 2023.
