Reviews"The ride's beginnings date to the early to mid-1950s, first gaining major traction when Walt Disney assigned the project that would ultimately reside in the New Orleans Square section of Disneyland to Ken Anderson, an animator turned Imagineer. Anderson, says [Marty] Sklar, took the first known crack at a story. Anderson's treatments give the ride a much more disturbing core than its current incarnation. A Disney Editions book, The Haunted Mansion: Imagineering a Disney Classic, details Anderson's initial drafts."-- Los Angeles Times

  • Great book for any Haunted Mansion fan

    very detailed on how ride came about and the journey to making it happen, how ride works and all the characters. I reccomend this book if you love the ride and want to know how all came together.

  • Reads like a history of "how to make things haunted"

    I thoroughly enjoyed this book and only lament that it isn't part of a multi-volume series. As someone who has never been to the Disney parks I loved being able to experience The Haunted Mansion from the comfort of my own home while learning much more than I ever expected about the struggles, victories, and unique touches that brought the ride to life. Well written, with beautiful pictures - this is one that Disney fans shouldn't hesitate to purchase.
