Phantom Manor

Legend has it that the manor used to be owned by an industrial baron, Henry Ravenswood, owner of the Big Thunder Mountain gold mines. The time came when his daughter Melanie had to choose a groom. The man she chose was an engineer who worked as a miner at Big Thunder Mountain, who planned to leave town with Melanie. Henry wouldn't hear of this, and vowed to stop the wedding. On her wedding day, Melanie was left waiting as her groom failed to show up - he was hung by the rafters in the atticby a mysterious cloaked figure. Melanie refused to take off her wedding gown and carried on waiting for her groom, but eventually perished in the wine cellar. She still walks the halls of the manor, and has been joined by 998 other ghosts, in what is now known as "Phantom Manor."

Guests first enter the "stretching room" where they are welcomed by the Ghost Host. Before long, the lights go out, and you can see the groom hanging from the rafters above. Then the walls begin to stretch, before the door opens and guests are led out into the loading area where they board "Doom Buggies" for a haunted trip around the manor.

Guests encounter scenes including a seance room, ballroom, the bride's boudoir, Phantom Canyon, and finish up in the wine cellar.
