lol i remember going when i was 8 and how i was sooo scared to go on the haunted mansion ride that they had to drag me on the ride. i was very sensitive back then and easily frightened and i had a bad fear of ghosts so tht kinda ruined my trip a little. especially when i saw the horse buggy like disappear oh i freaked out lol. but now i look back and find it hilarious that i was freaking out so badly
lol. I remember my first time, I had nightmares that night lol I was 7
haha especially when they said the ghosts wud follow me home! i cudnt sleep in my hotel room tht night
I don't know... HM never scard me even as a kid and my little ones were never that scared on it. We all loved it, even my 2 and under crowd.
the first time i went i was 9... so it wasnt overly scary to me... but i can see how a young child could be scared by it...Quote:

My kids went on it for the first time last year. My son (4) actually left tiny fingernail marks in my arm, but he thought it was fun after he got off the ride.
I remember one of my first times on The Mansion, although I don't remember my age. I was in my fathers arms in front of the doors screaming my head off because I was so scared...but, now you can't get me off of the darn thing lol
I'm one of those people who was always fascinated by the supernatural as well as anything supposedly scary as a kid, so I always loved the Mansion.
20K I was too but, for some reason I was so scared of going it. I remember asking when we got out if we could do it again though...I guess the fear kinda disappeared lol.
Thinking about it now, the only part of the Mansion that actually scared me was the endless hallway. The concept - let alone the staging - freaked me out like nothing else, particularly because something like that is a lot easier to relate to your own home than, say, a ballroom. The fact that they always seemed to stop the Doombuggies THE MINUTE I turned to face the effect didn't help either!
The pop ups are what always go me. lol
i think Paul Frees' voice as the ghost host really makes this attraction... from the beginning he gives you that aura...
Yep, when I was a young'un, this is what crippled me with fear. And since it was toward the end of the ride, I could not enjoy the first sections as much, due to my fearful anticipation of what awaited in the attic.Quote:
