Ghost Castle Dark Ride | Haunted Mansion-Like Ride? | Europa Park 

this is kinda like if someone went on the haunted mansion once 10 years ago and trying to explain the whole thing by memory

Although they clearly “borrowed” ideas from another well know ride and the theming is all over the place, still looks like an entertaining ride. It’s better than most boardwalk and carnival Haunted House rides.

OK yeah the stretching room and ride vehicles are completely the same and while it's not as cool as Disney's haunted mansion, this still looks preety sick, I liked the more gory and tone this one had, and I would like to ride this one day.

This ride feels like it was designed by someone who had Phantom Manor @ Disneyland Paris explained to them very thoroughly, but the explanation was delivered via can-and-string phone and the listener was on cocaine.

They took the best of Haunted Mansion, Phantom Manor and classic haunted house scares and made this masterpiece. I love it! 😂❤

Couldn't pull off the pepper's ghost so they just showed the real thing haha

Lol they didn't even try to hide all the Disney haunted Mansion references. A cool ride though.

The whole Europa Park is basically inspired by Disney parks. This is just one of them. They have great coasters though and the park has it's charm but yeah you immediately can tell they got inspired by Disney.

"We have Haunted Mansion at home." The Haunted Mansion at home:

Man, when people copy Disney poorly, it only emphasizes how incredible Disney innovates

The highest budget low budget Disney knockoff if I ever seen one. I want to ride it!

No worries guys, Europa-Park fans know this is a horrible Disney Knock-off, but it's quite a guilty pleasure anyways. Bitte bitte

This ride has some sexy beautiful details all over ,since the whole ride has different lighting. Wow. Wish haunted mansion at Disney would be fully immersed with extra extra details. So much emptiness when the lights are on

Damn, what a shame... there's obviously a lot of production value behind this and tons of potential. But instead of designing something fresh and new, they just completely and blatantly ripped off Disney with nothing to add to it. Imagine if they took all these resources and tried to create instead of imitate.

I love Geisterschloss for what it is and i always go on there first whenever i visit but it reminds too much of Haunted Mansion, Phantom Manor. It could really use a renovation and a story.

Always nice to ride GeisterSchloss. I like the new animatronic , near the beginning.

The ride looks better in this video than in real life. But there‘s one thing that could can easily see: it‘s completely overloaded and the animatronics are lame. There’s been rumors for years now that they are planing a complete makeover.

This is my favourite haunted house in Germany with the Geister Rikscha in Phantasialand

What a rip-off. That said, I never tire of ghost trains, no matter how shabby. And this one is pretty impressive, actually. Maybe not too original -- but this is the case with many, many haunts.

Beautiful 😍

This ride is so creepy, the ugly animatronics make this experience terrifier with potential to destroy any memory somebody has from Disney's Haunted Mansion

It looks more wonderfully spooky and fun than scary, it's taken a lot of inspiration from the haunted mansion but it's still a good ride

2:15 this sound effect... The scream! I KNOW THIS SCREAM... I NEED TO KNOW THE SOURCE BECAUSE IT'S STOCK! I know this from Knoebels as well! XD! Great video :D

OMG I LOVE love LOVE love this ride! Europa park will be a must do. Of course CAN CAN. But this takes the cake. It is like... home made Haunted Mansion and it is awesome! Love the spiral up scene! What a weird stretching room. Love the loading. It looks far more compact than Haunted Mansion. Even door knockers. And singing busts! YES!

This reminds me of the videos of people trying to build roller coasters in their back yards.

I see they took some of Disney's Haunted House Ideals

While i really like the Ghost Castle in Europa Park, i think it desperately needs an overhaul. Recently they added so much stuff that the ride doesn´t feel inconsistent with it´s own theme. For example they added this guy at 1:29. Before that it was an terrifying "Facility Manager" with it´s old dog barking, which fits way better then this puppet. Also i think that all these added Monitor stuff like you see at 2:18 is often questionable. The Sorcerer at 4:28 was originally at the queue at 0:10. Now there´s a .... "Pirate" for unknown reasons. But i think that has something to do with the Pirate Ride burned down and they had this puppet left from it. Europa Park has some of the best rides in terms of themes from any theme parks (well, from the ones i know), but this ride here feels sometimes out of place. I still love it!

Nice very good

They could almost claim that it's merely took inspiration from the Haunted Mansion. But the Stretching Room completely ruins all credibility to that claim.

How has Disney not sued these guys?

Wish version of the Haunted Mansion 😆

Still looks fun though 😂

This is actually very scary

When you order Disney rides from Wish

👍🧟🧟

Creepy

it looks like stretching room than disneyland

The opening has to be copyright infringement, right? I mean, it's the exact same thing.

Is this filmed with the a7siii from sony ?

4:08 - Professor Botox... 🤣🤣🤣

Keep in mind that this attraction is 40 years old

Definitely the Force Awakens of haunted rides. A poor copy of the original, but I liked it.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👍👍

これ、ホーンテッドマンションのパクリだね。

It's the same thing give it the nightmare before christmas overlay and you got the whole thing

why is this attraction very different than the original haunted mansion?

No ghost pepper?

Disney rip off but still enjoyable!

I know Europe has amazing horror stories. Germany has the darkest children's stories that they can easily implement. "The Marksman", "The Pied Piper of Hameln", "The White Woman", the original GERMAN VERSION of the "Sorcerer's Apprentice", "The Golem", etc. The original Haunted Mansion and Phantom Manor had a narrative about the previous owners and how they died, and the ride incorporated that story. This felt like a poor copy with a random assortment to differentiate itself ENOUGH from the originals.

The most scary darkride is actually living and witnessing the last three years of existence. But the most horrifying part is the worst to come. I would predict yes.😨😨😨😨

This is the problem with haunted castle dark rides. They all copy those same gags and ideas from each but not considering if they make sense. The haunted mansion works because it’s consistently trying to keep the same theme.

Oh dear….

They total ripped off hunted mansion

Disney's Haunted mansion done cheap !

Complete with the COPYCAT stretching room, but without "Your cadaverous pallor betrays an aura of foreboding" and no Grimm Grinning Ghosts

RU-vid,Eure Werbung geht mir nicht ab und sie funktioniert auch nicht,ich schaue und höre grundsätzlich weg und kaufe diese beworbenen Produkte nicht

I think Disney is going to sue somebody lol they stole ideas from Disney’s haunted mansion and ripped them off

It’s incredible what was stolen from disney

What a blatant Disney rip off. It just goes to show how incredible the Disney ones are, even when they are a lot older than this one with older technology.

why does the queue have like...animated portraits from that AWFUL "monster family" netflix movie???

Ghost Castle Dark Ride is a bad Disney ride ripoff

What an awful stealing of ideas and copy from Disney's Haunted Mansion! Moreover, it is done in an awful way in which the effects are terrible and have no match to what Disney's Imageneering staff achieved. I am not from the USA and I am not an especially Disney company fan, but one must acknowledge this is probably a copyright infringement and on top of that awfully performed.

ohio mansion

1:42 no way its joe biden!

ホーンテッドマンションのパクリ？

What a confusing mess - how hard is it to come up with your own ideas without shamelessly ripping off Disney?

Wtf is this?

What a bad Disney Ripoff

Ashamed ! Failed plagiarism with additional German vulgarity!! Bad ........

Cheap ripoff.
