Neo Disneyland's Haunted Manion part 2


Coming into view is a magnificent two story library, in which guests will board their doom buggies. Series of volumes and tomes line the walls while a latter swings back and forth as invisible hands pull books in and out of shelves, turning pages, writing down a feathered quill pin. On the opposite side, marble busts follow guests with their stern gaze.

Once guests board their doom buggies, Mr Bloodmere will assist to lower the safety bar.
"Please, allow me to lower the safety bar. Once on board, remain seated at all times in your carriage at all times, no flash pictures and watch your children please."

   While passing a griffon statue on the bannister, the buggies will asend guests to the second floor of the mansion. On the landing, they pass a portrait of a young woman in a bridal gown. 
"Lovely isn't she?"

One of the illusion that guests will  first see a long and expanding corridor. A spirit appears and disappears in the middle of the hallway right before their eyes. The spirt resembles the bride from the portrait, it appears that she is running from someone. 

     Coming up is a grand music salon, furnished with musical instruments, antique sitting furniture and caged raven cawing menacingly at the guests. A shadowy phantom can be seen on the rays of the moon from the large bay window, playing the piano, accompanied by a harpist and cellist. 
   Sound Track: Phantom Manor Music Room

Proceeding on, is a hallway with doors on both sides.  Screams and cries echo through out the halls, followed by maniacal laughter, unearthly growls and roars. A spirit pushes through the door and walls with a powerful force.

The buggies pass through a series of family photographs that adorn the walls, some of them are changing into corpses and ghouls as they proceed. 


At the end of the corridor, a large grandfather cloak rest in the corner. The hands spin out of control while chiming midnight. The wallpaper starts to blink with glowing green eyes. 
   
Soundtrack: Phantom Manor Seance Room
Coming into view is a circular seance room, heavy draper adorns the ceiling and arches with a griffon sconces. At the center of the room is a table with a woman's head inside a crystal ball, channeling the spirits of the house. 

"Spirits and specters on your proud stallions, escort the bride through the night. Bogies and beasties from All Hallows Eve, awaken the spirit with your tambourine. Phantoms and shadows, hear my call. Come one, come all to the ball. At the stroke of midnight, we'll dance until the morning light." 

All around the buggies, objects and insturments levitate in mid air. As a spirit start to materialize. 

"The spirits have felt your sympathetic vibrations and they are beginning to materialize. They are assembling a swinging wake in my honor. I'll see you a little later."

Soundtrack: Haunted Mansion/Phantom Manor Ballroom
A grand salon comes into view, ghostly guests disembark from a hearse carrying wedding presents, while an elderly woman sits and rocks next to the fireplace. The dining table is decorated with decayed flowers and a molding wedding cake with a group of ghosts disappear and reappear. 

     The Bride is seen standing half way at the stairs, looking at the celebration that never was. The figure of a man in pirate attire can be seen standing on the open window. His laughter rings through out the hall. Two drunken pirate ghosts are seen swinging on the grand chandelier. Couples in early 1800's dress attire float on the dance floor while waltzing, as an demented musician plays on a massive organ.
