A really atmospheric ride that pleases the whole family. Our 5 yr old and 1 yr old both loved it. Another ride where the imagineers have excelled thierselves. We have been on this ride a number of times and the queues have never been to much of a problem.

This is another one of my favourite rides in the disneyland park. The staff that work on the ride are amazing also, they really get into character jumping out from behind the front door to scare you and the spooky voices etc! Really enjoyable.

For some reason this is always the first ride we take when we visit DLRP. The house itself is imposing enough and the entrance hall effects set the mood. I always enjoy the slightly scary feel of the ride and the special effects that are used. The moving pavement used to get onto and off the ride are easy to use for most people.

I always enjoy the effect of the skeleton ghosts holding onto the back of the pods as they shake you to and fro and you see yourself in the mirrored wall. The music is good and very atmospheric.

After you leave the ride you have to visit Boot hill and read the gravestones. Touch the tomb and feel the heartbeat from within!!

A good ride that suits all but the very nervous scaredy cat!.
Kids seem to love it – it is teenage girls that seem to scream the most!!

Disney should fit the ride with a camera so that a photo memory could be bought – they do in the other rides such as Pirates, Thunder Mountain, Space Mountain etc.

Really wasn’t impressed with this ride, really plain and boring. The theming as your making your way to the ride is nice, but in my opinion nothing special.

A great ride , it makes me laugh every time , in particular the singing heads and skeletons. The ghosts dancing in the ballroom are a good effect. This is my favourite ride and a must for all visits to DLRP.

Just to respond to Alan Ashwood’s comments…

‘the paintings don’t change as they do in it’s counterparts.’

They do – the changes are subtle and may take longer, but the portrait of a woman on the chair changes to a cat, the facial portrait of the woman changes to Medusa, the brave ship changes into a wrecked ghost ship, and I’m sure there are more – take yout time walking to the doom buggies and you will notice, as the changes can take a minute to come around :)

Also, the cowboy scene follows a graveyard scene – I believe the cowboy scene was added to fit in with the general Frontierland theme – and in fact if you look up before you come to the last mirror portion of the attraction, you can see the Phantom Manor!

Also, not sure if this is true, but it certainly adds an extra layer to the ride, I have heard that the story is as such: The bride whose story we follow in the ride firstly believes that she has been left at the alter by her fiancee husband…But it emerges that the Vincent Price/ghostly figure is her father, who out of an Oedipal-esque jealousy has killed her husband from beyond the grave! Not your typical ghost train, huh??

Its got to be on the top 5 attractions at disneyland. Spooky but not scary, great for kids too, although some parts may be a little scary for them

Themeing is great and its even more fantastic when the Cast Members get into character and hide behind the door, and jump out on you! And in the lift they just stare at you, but beware when it goes dark the Cast Members can go walkies and end up right next to you staring you in the face! (happened to my friend, i laughed, she screamed!)

This ride is always on my must do list! i always notice someting new, i love the singing heads and just about everything about this ride

When i was little i was too scared to go on this ride, my dad tried to trick me onto it but i cried so one of the cast members showed me a secret exit! i will always remember sneaking out!

I cant wait to go back on this ride when we go back in february, hopefully it wont be too cold!

Grim Grinning Ghosts come out to socialize!

Great theming and a really immersive experience, not too spooky and my 4 year old thought it was all quite funny.

Just fantastic, i love it.

Board your doom buggy for a scenic adventure! Phantom Manor tells the story of a bride who’s wedding went wrong and she ends up becoming one of the 999 ghosts! Go on a journey through the manor and on to a haunted town and graveyard complete with singing grave stones! First class audio animatronics. Watch out for the extra passenger that sits on your doom buggy at the end of the ride. Cast Members getting into character add to the spooky world of Phantom Manor. Not suitable for the very young. Take time to look around the grave stones on Boot Hill as you exit this ride. 10/10

I love this ride, it is absolutely fantastic. The manor looks brilliant, the scenery is great, special effects are fantastic and the music really adds to the atmosphere. You HAVE to go on this one. My husband and I were always very lucky in that we never had to wait more than 3 mins for this. On one occasion, we just walked straight in ( extra magic hours at night). I remember the first time we went on this one, we got into the lift and I was thinking ‘oh my God they are going to drop us!’ They didnt.

This is NOT a scary ride, its just a brilliant gentle cruise around a haunted manor. Some of the effects may frighten young children. 10/10

It’s OK, but Not as good as the California ride. There’s been some penny pinching here, and it shows. The waitline under cover is well thought out, considering European winters.

The elevator (lift) at the beginning has been shaved of some of the atmosphere setting details, and on the walk to the carriages, the paintings don’t change as they do in it’s counterparts.

On the ride:
WHY did they replace the graveyard with a cowboy ghost town? My kids completely missed the point and I thought it was naff, and when the ghost joins you in your carriage – well – he doesn’t! In the US rides, each ghost is different, and sits beside you. In this ride a row of identical skulls appear above the carriage – more money saving at the cost of detail.

The ride is still enjoyable, but not as good as the others.

If you have the time, and you’re in Frontierland – do it.

A must do ride. The ride is in two parts, first a lift when it goes pitch black at one stage and then in armchairs around the rest of the house. The theming is first class, with new things to see on each ride. The attendants usually live the part too, adding to the effect of the ride. There is not usually a long queue for this ride, if there is leave and come back later, you should be able to more or less walk on to this ride.

Doing away with the traditional jump-inducing set pieces of other haunted houses, the designers have focussed on providing riders with a creepy, impressive, and mysterious ride. The theming is the real star of the show, and the house maintains the battered, worn, lost-beauty, that is so evident on the outside, throughout.

The tour of the house is accompanied by an unerving, yet powerful orchestral score, which breaks into a frantic medley as te ride progresses. Along with this, the ride features a mysterious and intreaging storyline that is never made entirely obvious during the ride, but this makes the ride all the better as you try to deduce what has happened in this house to render it so delapidated. Top notch, high quality mystery, which easily surpasses any other haunted house in all of europe; or even the world (it’s definately better than the American version at least)
