I think Haunted Mansion is better than Pirates for sure. That wasn't too hard...

Now if we were to talk about MOVIES, than Pirates all the way! The Haunted Mansion was an embarrassment to movies.

Well I have made it even now. HM by a long way for me.
1980, 2000, 2005 and 2008 all had plenty of magic. Hoping for a bit more in 2010.

I've built my own "spook" houses since I was eight and I love halloween, so I had to vote for the mansion. The best spook house ever. I can't get enough of it. I have to admit, though, that Pirates, especially at Disneyland, is a great attraction. They're number 1 and 2 for me at the magic kingdom.

Hi again folks. I don't know why I haven't replied to this before, but I have to say that my favorite has to be Haunted Mansion.

While I love Pirates for it's 'epic' nature and great details, not to mention the cool drops, I pretty much prefer HM for...well the same reasons, minus the drops.

I guess it's just the way that HM really does 'engross' you with its somber style and eerie atmosphere. Plus, it's always great when a first-timer doesn't notice the
effects until they're right in front of them.

Or it could be that the chances of me being in a haunted house at some point is
greater than me being a pirate anytime soon :wink: .

Anyway, until later, peace.

I prefer PotC for the water aspect. And it seems to me that you move at a slower speed through the ride, which gives you a better opportunity to take it all in.

But mostly, it's just floaty and relaxing. I like the waves that come from behind and nudge your boat forward a little.

The Mansion has that forced viewpoint thing and the back of the buggy obscures your vision, though it it's pretty cool when the ride turns you backward as you descend. I can't remember at what point in the ride that occurs.

ok, if I have to choose , Pirates! I remember my first trip to WDW and how thrilled my Dad was with this ride. He loved every minute of it. How real everything seemed. He commented on the hair on the pirates leg, the one sitting on the bridge overhead :) Such great memories.

if disney did not change pirates it would be my favorite but i gotta go with the haunted mansion because of its effects and it is more true to its ride theme and not changed because of a movie.

Tough call, but HM wins by a very thin margin.

I gave Pirates the edge because they had to create sets that look good from all angles. The Mansion controls your view, which lets it cheat. The effects make it necessary, and it does open up in the seance and graveyard scenes, but overall I think Pirates is more epic.

I never thought about it that way. Yes, as we argued in chat that one day, we agreed that Pirates is just packed with detail. The vastness of it is what brings me back every visit.

I guess it depends on the mood I am in, but I have chosen Pirates. Mainly Disneyland CA version.
Love Tomorrowland and Adventureland, but hard to decide to which one is best.

Love RCT3
