Walt Disney World Magic Kingdom Haunted Mansion Hatchet Bride Breakdown Spiel

Walt Disney World Magic Kingdom Haunted Mansion Hatchet Bride Breakdown Spiel

The Haunted Mansion, to me the most exciting and remarkable attraction at Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom theme park Opened with the theme park October 1st 1971.  Of interesting note the omnimover ride system called Doom Buggies for this ride are on a continuous loop throughout the whole ride and maintain their 3mph speed at all times even during loading and unloading.  Guests step onto a moving speed ramp that goes at the same speed as the Doom Buggies and step into an "awaiting carriage."  Wheelchair guests have to transfer to the ride vehicle and it is too dangerous to do while everything is in motion. So occasionally you get stopped during your ride which is what happened to me.  Due to a 15 degree decent out of the attic into the graveyard scene the haunted mansion can never be configured with a handicap accessible ride vehicle like so many other Walt Disney World attractions have done over the years.

Video shot October 2009 at Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party.  Stopped right before leaving the attic at the amazing floating hatchet bride.
