D23: Mystic Manor Hong Kong

Just finished watching my first presentation at the expo! Learning something new about a Park I haven't been to yet.

Any Disney park fan knows the Haunted Mansion, Disneyland Hong Kong brings new life to it.  You can say Hello to Albert the monkey in the Mystic Manor ride. Just don't forget your fez!

The whole area of Mystic Point is like one of the lands from the other parks but completely different from the classic fantasy or main street. Tokyo uses its space wisely by having more lands with very different attractions rather than one large themed area.

The ride is based on a member or the adventure's club and his mansion of rare ancient artifacts. The preshow is more humorous than foreboding,  they showed a video. The ride is totally new the is no movie or story base to learn from. Similar to tge sorcerers apprentice who does somethibg they aren't supposed to Albert opens a Pandoras box and has to redeem himself and fix the mansion that has come to life. 
The music was composed by Danny Elfman so you know it will be memorable.
In typical imagineer fashion they put their own autograph into the ride.  The society of explorers is made up of all those amazing minds.
The ride itself is trackless and the carriages are lead through by rfid. 
I can't write everything about the ride or the show but I do know I can't wait until 8 get to the Disney resorts out East!
