Phantom Manor, at Disneyland Paris, is a much darker and more twisted take on the Haunted Mansion series compared to the rest of the Disney properties. But this is what sets the attraction apart and why I like it more than the Disneyland and Walt Disney World versions that I have experienced.
The climax of the ride comes when the ride ventures out into Phantom Canyon, a supernatural version of Thunder Mesa full of macabre spirits set in a haunted Wild West environment. Like the rest of the Haunted Mansions, there is a bit of a facetious spirit here, but it's still noticeably more sinister than the Grim Grinning Ghosts elsewhere. Still, it's a fantastic ambiance, visually, and though this ride is exceptionally difficult to photograph (especially since I'm not as familiar with it), I did manage to get a few decent shots from this part of Phantom Manor!
