   A big thunder mountain railroad comparison between all the different parks could be a fun video! I want to know why France has a better big thunder than the others.

   5:10 My theory is that the old sounds affect in the stretching room at Disneyland & Tokyo represents the skeleton falling from the top of the stretching room on the floor were the guests are. And in Florida, I think it’s suppose to be the windows near the skeleton crashing
   Edit: Also, I think the screaming is from the skeleton falling from the attic of the stretching room

   I Plan to do Part 4 on phantom Manner, but I might be able to do a expedition to Disneyland Paris this summer and I do not want the new refurbished elements spoiled before I get the chance to ride it. Because of this Part 4 probably wont be out until July. I know most of you will understand.

   The WDW and Tokyo mansions used to be almost exactly the same. WDW used to have the Portrait Corridor where the portraits' eyes followed you and its Corridor of Doors used to be lit in a deep shade of red caused by red glass globes on the chandeliers. Absent were the "family ghoul portraits." WDW also had the larger Tomb Sweet Tomb sign and the hands prying the last door open. In 2007, the Portrait Corridor was changed to have the transforming portraits. The red lights and hands were removed from the Corridor of Doors and the family ghoul portraits were put in there…I think this was a pointless attempt by the 2007 imagineers to make WDW's mansion more like Disneyland (California), which never had the hands or red lights and has always had a transforming portrait corridor…as well as the family ghoul portraits decorating the Corridor of Doors. Another reason why the hands were removed was because an executive in WDI decreed that "no ghosts be seen before Madame Leota." In my opinion, the 2007 crew undid the carefully crafted intentions of Marc Davis, Claude Coats, and the original imagineers. The red lights made the Corridor feel more dangerous and claustrophobic, and I suppose the family ghoul portraits were originally left out because of how they distract you from the doors. Fortunately, Tokyo's mansion still maintains what WDW used to have.

   I’m surprised you don’t mention the fact that most of these differences are the result of Tokyo not receiving the same updates that Disney World got in 2007 and beyond. Aside from different props being used, the Tokyo version is practically a duplicate of what the ride in Disney World was like from ’71 to ’06.

   I hope this helps! Tokyo Disneyland's Haunted Mansion is a physical time machine. It is basically the opening day version of Magic Kingdom's Haunted Mansion. That is why there are the two very large spiders and no transition into the bat eyes for the wallpaper. This is because the wallpaper when entering the endless hallway scene, is basically the same as Disneyland's version. (I am also assuming that Magic Kingdom's version opened with that wallpaper as well.) The ghostly figure you see in the seance room was both in Disneyland's and WDW's Haunted Mansion on opening day. In 2001, due to the Holiday overlay on Disneyland's mansion, that prop went completely missing. I'm not exactly sure what happened to the prop in Magic Kingdom but today, it is replaced with a spirit projection. I am guessing Disney removed it for the 2006 update? The bats in the attic were an opening day illusion for Disneyland's version. They were soon removed with the string effect (to simulate cobwebs touching you) as people would pull them down. When you pass the singing busts in the graveyard, you will be able to hear a very clear "La la la". That is a long lost audio that the American parks don't have anymore. Both Magic Kingdom's and Disneyland's Haunted Mansion opened with it. No one really knows what happened to the audio. It is known as the "La-da singer" or the "La-la singer". If you have any questions, please ask them!

    Never knew the Tokyo Mansion was missing the iconic graveyard! That's a shame but I guess it makes sense since the epitaphs were in english

    Tokyo Disney's Haunted Mansion is nearly identical to WDW's Haunted Mansion pre-2007.

    im excited for the phantom manor video. I know Mystic Manor is only related to the others in spirit and a couple nods to the mansion. But that would be intersting to compare.

    Tokyo’s HM looks like what WDW’s HM looked like before it when through a massive refurb. The Portraits in WDWs load area used to be in the Hallway where Tokyo’s are. Also the black void with the spider webs in Tokyo’s is what WDWs same area used to look like.

    Tokyo's Haunted Mansion is automatically better because they do Haunted Mansion Holiday Nightmare every year while WDW doesn't.

    I find that a lot of changes made to florida and cali did not make it to tokyo, as I remember jumping attic ghosts when I was a kid
