A few of those 999 happy haunts might have just escaped…
Disneyland offers so many incredibly fun attractions like Splash Mountain, Space Mountain, and “it’s a small world”, none may be more iconic or spooky than The Haunted Mansion. Recently, however, this infamous dark ride encountered some problems which caused the ride to stop.

As seen in a recent TikTok, The Haunted Mansion is stopped for an unknown reason, and the light turn on giving Guests a spectacular behind-the-scenes view of this dark ride. During the evacuation, several Guests are seen disembarking their “Doom Buggys” with one Guest appearing to jump onto the tracks. Randizzle (@randizzle_12) shared the TikTok:
@randizzle_12 Honestly I was excited that #HauntedMansion broke down #hauntedmansionholiday #disneyland #showexit
While it is uncertain what caused the Haunted Mansion to be evacuated, it appears Guests were falling in line and following a Cast Member safely toward an exit. As you may know, Disney rides can often break down and while this may seem unlucky for some, for hardcore Disney World Guests this is seen as an incredible opportunity to see their favorite rides and attractions in a brand new and exclusive way.
The Haunted Mansion is one of Disney’s most iconic dark rides and offers thrills and chills to Guests of all ages at Disneyland, Disney World More, Tokyo Disneyland as well as Phantom Manor at Disneyland Paris, and Mystic Manor at Hong Kong Disneyland.
