5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect Book for a Perfect Ride, 20 Aug 2004
By Captain EO "No. 7" (Cardiff, Wales, UK) - See all my reviews
If you've ever visited a Disney Theme Park then chances are you've ridden one of the various versions of The Haunted Mansion. It's Disney's classic spin on a haunted-house/ghost train and whilst this attraction was originally designed and built decades ago it's still one of Disney's most-visited and best-loved rides. The reason is simple - it's a clever blend of scares & smiles which makes it appealing to 7 to 70 year olds.

This book is a highly detailed ride through the history of this Disney classic from Walt's first ideas as a spooky house on Main Street USA right upto the movie based around it. Featuring enough text and photographs to keep both die-hard Disney fans & kids happy it's the perfect compliment to a perfect ride. The writing of the book will make any Disney fan want to turn page after page and the rare pictures, drawings & diagrams will not fail to make them smile. This really is a brilliantly put-together product. The ride section is far more entertaining than the movie section but a big part of that is down to the simple fact that the attraction is a classic whereby the movie didn't exactly live upto the standards set by it's predecessor "The Pirates of the Carribean".

If you enjoy "Behind-the-Scenes" books of any nature and especially if you enjoy Theme Parks then this book should appeal to you. If your a fan of the ride or even just Disney in general then you'll LOVE this book. A Must-have for any Disney fan !!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Haunted Mansion: From The Magic Kingdom To The Movies, 8 Sep 2004
By A Customer
If your a big Haunted mansion fan, then this book is for you! It contains just about everything you need to know about Haunted mansion. Also, it contains info on Phantom Manor, Paris' haunted mansion (I'm a VERY big fan of it!) And not to forget, info on the film. This book is very big and is worth it. It also contains pictures of the rides and concept art. So, after all, this book is very good, considering it's wrote by the guy who helped with the Haunted Mansion, so that makes it even better.
