Description: When guests take a ride in this haunted mansion, they will be amazed and entertained by the grinning ghosts, spectral surprises, playful apparitions, and other spirited residents of this happy haunt. It is inspired by Disney's Haunted Mansions. The building itself represents the Haunted Mansion at Disneyland in California. A number of years ago, a number of designers in the RCT2 user community created a lot of Disneyland objects. That included objects for a Disney Haunted Mansion ride. They also used lots of tiny pieces to create the exterior of the building itself, as seen in the screenshot. So I do not take credit for that. I did not create it myself because they did a fantastic job at reproducing the actual Disneyland Haunted Mansion building. Here is a picture in Wikipedia of the actual building:

I did the layout of things around the building from lots of things made for RCT2. When guests use this building in ZT, most of the top of the building will disappear so that the inside of it can be seen. The entire layout inside the building was made by me from lots of things made for RCT2. Some of those things are based on Disney's Haunted Mansion rides; some are based on other Disney rides, some are based on Harry Potter and Lord Of The Rings; the rest are other things that fit into a haunted mansion theme. The default price for guests to use the building is 13, since the "ghostfather clock" at Disney's Haunted Mansions strikes 13. Like Disney's Haunted Mansions, this is meant to be a playful haunt rather than a scary haunt. The layouts around and inside the Haunted Mansion were made by me using a lot of graphics made by The Amazing Earl, MidwestBoyInLA, Fisherman, Mama Bear, ToonTowner, Makonix/mkx/argonath, MKY, MKG, cjk, GW, Magnus/MG, hawk, Kahlua17, pierreluch, tom25489, Kumba, and others for RCT2, as well as some other graphics from RCT2. The sound is a combination of 2 sounds from Disney's Haunted Mansion: a snippet of the greeting and a snippet of the song Grim Grinning Ghosts.
(Configuration note: removes money.)

Disneyland's Haunted Mansion has a special meaning to me. It was created when I was a boy. It was made before portable computers and cell phones existed. Computers back then had to be in their own air conditioned computer rooms. Those computers were expensive. So companies used computers for payroll, financial, and scheduling purposes. But Disney used a minicomputer in one of those air conditioned computer rooms to control everything in the Haunted Mansion. That showed me that computers can be used to bring enjoyment to others. So it inspired me to become a computer software engineer, making programs that control machines. As it turned out, I did this work for manufacturing companies rather than for entertainment companies. But that desire to use computers to try to bring enjoyment to others is what eventually led me to helping in the ZT user community.
