Spoiler question about Phantom Manor

[DisneyManiac]

As David said, it's a question of daylight if you want to see the Phantom. I didn't find a better photo of it right now, but I think this is sufficient as well



Concerning the bride, I hope you can at least see that someone/something is in the middle window Didn't find a better one, too...

Is it me or does the head of the phantom look 'blank' like a dummy?

:ears: DisneyManiac :ears:

I think the Phantom has a painted black head/neck so that at night he looks more etherial and spooky in the window. As for the shutter, yes one of them does move and bang back onto the building, but it's an effect I rarely get to see because I thought it was broken!

[spoiler:ua7cklbf]The lifts do descend, although probably not a massive amount, perhaps 3m. The show building is behind the manor but there are trees hiding it.[/spoiler:ua7cklbf]

Spoilered since not everybody wants to see backstage…

[spoiler:ua7cklbf]And here's a picture of the ride building from above. I think it's kind of amusing how much bigger the ride is compared to the manor building. That's really the Tardis of manors  :)

[spoiler:29x37p4t]Phantom Manor and DLR Haunted Mansion have the same layout; hence the elevator for the Stretching Room. As when the original Haunted Mansion was built the show building was outside the berm so there is an underground passage.

WDW didn't need this but they wanted to keep the same effect for their Mansion; so they made the roof raise. TDL's Mansion does the same. WDW and TDL Mansion's have a couple extra scenes and therefore a longer ride time. The portrait gallary is also on-ride unlike DLR Mansion and the Manor where it is part of the queue/loading area.[/spoiler:29x37p4t]

Also DGRavenswood I love your Manor site! Beautiful layout.

Have seen the phantom, but never have seen the bride. Will look for her next time

Here's the Bride, which I was luckily enough to meet at the Halloween Soiree October 2007. A really strange experience for me when we interlocked hands, she looked directly into my eyes giving me a subtle smile, I've never experienced such a hypnotic glare in my life..  :twisted:
