Happy 50th bday to Knoebels Haunted Mansion! What's your favorite new change or addition that was made?
i love the new change with the skull area… the myers music is amazing
Dude ever since I was little that haunted house traumatized me…not sure why, but I go in there to this day with 1 eye open. I know it’s all fun and games, but the hair on my neck still stands up…
As a former Disney Cast member I can honestly say that I am impressed with the quality of a low tech dark ride. The hidden vulture thing is great
To be honest, I've always preferred low tech dark rides from the early-late 20th century to what we have nowadays. idk, they seem to have an very unique look, intentional charm and 'fun' factor to it. They weren't serious or had heavy narrative stories, they were just pure simple fun, something I wish more theme parks would try and replicate.
HOLY MOLY! Beyond ecstatic that they brought the glowing skull hall with the Halloween II music back. Almost teared up 🥲
🎃💀🎃
I'm thrilled that the floating skulls are back, I a!ways loved the illusion, best part of the ride!
First time I ever went on the Haunted Mansion was in 2009 and I distinctly remember the floating skull room playing the theme from Halloween 2. Really glad they brought it back this year!
Good old times ☺️
Edit: I remember that skull room back in 2015
@@jadriancalderon17812015 was the last year for it. The effect of the glowing skulls had deteriorated quite a bit over the years so they were very dim and just didn't have the same intended effect that they probably had years prior. The new placement of it is awesome though and I think really enhances the middle part of the ride!
@@jadriancalderon1781I believe 2015 was the last year of the skull room and they turned it into the upside down room for the 2016 season. It was a neat visual but in its later years, the skulls didn't glow nearly as much so it started to feel more like a long dead spot, IMO. I love the new location of it after the attic, they look fantastic and you have to love the music!
This is my ALL TIME FAVORITE haunted dark ride! I ride it EVERY year! I had no idea it was the 50 year anniversary this year!! Now I'm REALLY pumped to go this year! Great video!! Thank you!!!
I rode this when I was eight. I'm Fifty-one now and I still have vivid memories of this ride. I'm planning to go back this summer with my kid!
It's a classic that never gets old
Haven't been there in a few years and this summer I turn 50... So, now I know where I'm going to be to celebrate!
Omg! The skulls are back and looking better than ever!! I'm so excited to ride this year, I have a huge smile on my face!
I'm making my yearly voyage to Knoebels next week. I live an hour away in wilkes-barre. for locals, knoebels is pilgrimmage and rite of passage for pennsylvanians. I always get scared in the mansion. "WELCOME!!!!" the horn always terrifies me!
Nothing gets me more excited for summer than your new Knoebels videos every year
So Cool!!! First, Happy 50th Birthday, Knoebels!! & Happy Birthday, Ethan!!🥳🎉So fun incorporating Vinnie The Vulture into a scavenger hunt! Loved the strobe light tunnel and the mirrored room of skulls! Audio special effects were awesome, too! Really amped up the creepy effects! Super fun ride & Great photo of you, Jay!! Thanks for bringing us along!🖤
Happy 50th Birthday to Knoebels Haunted Mansion! 🎉 That haunted house ride is one of the best I have ever seen, and they sure did a great job making some fantastic updates to it! It may not be new, but I think the dragon or dinosaur that pops through the clock is really cool. The floating skulls are also really neat, the whole ride is awesome! Happy Birthday to Ethan too! 🥳 Great video JP, you looked like you had a super fun time! Thank you!
😊💙
They did a nice refresh inside in certain areas. I rode it several times, first in 1992, then on two separate trips with a church group in the 2000's, then another visit with my younger brother, my mom who just passed last June 14 in the hospital because her breathing was bad, and her man friend who loved with us since early 1994, we lost our father March 8, 1986. I remember the old skull room on the first floor before you climbed up the hill to the attic, now it's an upside down room, and they brought back new skulls on the second floor with that spooky music again. I live near Dorney Park and I miss a ride like this, they have nothing haunted in the summer anymore, but they have haunt mazes in the fall which change themes from time to time, they add new ones and retire old ones. Dorney Park had a pretzel dark ride with cars similar to Knoebel's called Bucket O' Blood, it was rethemed by Bill Tracy in 1962 to Pirate's Cove, then to Bucket O' Blood still with the pirate theme for 1975 by Bill Tracy's company after he passed, he passed Aug 1974. Bucket O' Blood burned Sept. 28, 1983. The company was originally Outdoor Dimensional Displays and located in North Bergen, NJ then moved to Cape May Court House in 1967 and renamed Amusement Display Associates. For 1975 it was This Is, Inc. then in the late 70's Jim Melonic took over and renamed it Fantasies and Dreams, and later on it became JMM Studios and he and his son did work on the Black Diamond at Knoebel's which uses the old track from the former Golden Nugget Mine Ride on the former Hunt's Pier in Wildwood, NJ which was Dinosaur Beach 1996-1998. Morey's Piers bought the pier in 1999-2000 and the Nugget sat closed from 1999-Feb 2009, they had a farewell ceremony in the first floor of the ride end of January 2009 the first floor was hollowed out. It was also closed in 1992 and 1995.
Thanks JP for taking me with you for a ride:). Awesome Haunted Mansion. I never seen this place before, my favorite ride is log . Take care my friend happy more explores and adventures.:) Peace out stay safe

I had honestly never head of this park before, but I really liked this video. 😄 I’ve loved these haunted house rides ever since I went on the Haunted Mansion at Disneyland, and while that one is my favorite, I still love seeing other other haunted house rides because they’re just a fun and cool idea. :) And every amusement park does them differently. Haunted house rides are just one those ride themes that will never stop being fun, you know? 😄

OMFGS!!! THEY BROUGHT THE SKULLS BACK!!!!!!!!!!! MY FAVORITE ROOM AS A KID!
💀 ☠️ 💀
💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
I like this version of the skull room better than the original. Looks like it uses blacklight with UV reactive skulls. The first one used ( as I'm sure you all already know ) glow in the dark skulls that were recharged with bright lights between cars. I worked at the mansion back when the original room was there. When it was busy and the cars were going through close together, the lights couldn't stay on long enough to give the skulls a good charge and they would eventually get dim and hard to see in the dark and then the effect was lost. This way with the blacklight, the skulls will show up well every time. I'll repeat what I said before about being glad the optical area was removed as it always seemed somewhat boring to me. This new skull room in that area is just perfect. Edit: Have to make a correction. It was when it was slow when the skulls would become too dim to see well in the dark, not when it was busy. There were two floor switches right before the skull room, one to turn the bright lights on and one to turn them off. When it was slow, the skulls would be left in the dark for too long and the short recharge they got when a car did go through wasn't enough to brighten them up very much. When it was busy and the lights came on more often, the brightness of the skulls was much better. Sorry for posting the wrong information but this was over thirty years ago when I worked there.
I agree with your statements. I have to admit, I miss seeing the lights pop on at the end to charge up the skulls.
Very cool video! I’ve always been a dark ride fan ever since I was a little kid. Nice to see they totally revamped this one and put in a lot of new stuff. Your enthusiasm for the subject matter comes through very clearly in the video. Great job!
Thanks for checking it out. If you haven't already done so, check out my dark rides playlist to see others.
Jay,
That was a great update, no long empty spots and the transitions between areas were great.
The music was really fitting.
AS good as it was in a video, it must have been terrific riding it!
Thanks for the update, say hello to what was his name, Vinnie the vulture for me.
Rik
I've got to tell you this story.
I explored the Jersey Pine barrens for many years as a lover of history and the plants and animals.
One day I drove down an open sandy area road.
I had on gloves, a big straw hat and heavy clothes, because I wondered,
if I laid down along the road and didn't move, would
Vinnie or his relatives visit..
After about an hour, sure enough ,the Vultures landed and started hopping toward me.
I wanted to see how close they would come, but just as they got a few feet away, a truck came past and they flew off.
After that I got the nickname "Buzzardman"
Haha
Fantastic video! That's us sitting on the bench at the end 😂 What a great day that was too. Beautiful weather and the vibe was just great.
Just wanted to say that I find your videos fill the long hours and fill my heart! You are a fine chap. Much luck to you and yours, and with everything you do..
Thank you
First of all "Happy Birthday, Ethan!!" Happy Birthday to Knoebels Haunted Mansion as well. Never been there in person but have vicariously enjoyed it thru many videos!! I really love 💕 Knoebels Park!!! Hope to get there someday!! Great informative video!! Gotta watch it again. Be back after that!!!!
Happy Birthday , Ethan ...Great place to celebrate ! That was a fun ride ...like the floating skulls💀☠ ,,They've done an awesome job for the 5oth Anniversary of the Haunted Mansion . Thank you for sharing the fun !.. ...
A very cool place! You always capture the greatness of Knoebels amusement park! Happy Birthday Ethan! 🎉
This is awsome i love to see how excited you get over the wole park but your reaction to the hainted manion is classic. Keep up the good work.
That was good! After seeing some dark rides this is definitely at the top. Great vid!
So much better! Touch ups on the paint does wonders. Happy 50th!
Happy 50th to Knoebells haunted mansion & Happy B-Day to Ethan as well!!!!!!!
Makes me want to go to Knoebels even more. This park is on my bucket list
I should have attended this. I don't know why I didn't. Great footage, thanks for sharing! You can really tell that the primary care taker has changed. The previous caretaker was much more focused on preserving history and not changing anything. The new caretaker is much more open to change but keeping the same spirit. (or spirits as it were)
They have the right people in charge and it shows.
Absolutely love Knoebels season, I've never been but seeing it through you JP has been fantastic. I hope I can visit the park one day!
Happy 50th Birthday to Knoebels Haunted Mansion! Happy Birthday Ethan! That was a great ride Jason! Wish I could be there! 👍🥰❤️
😊
Yaay! The funky music skull room is finally reunited!
Happy Belated Birthday, Ethan!!!🎂 🎉
I'm happy that they brought back the floating skulls with loop playing Halloween II theme.
And Happy 50th Anniversary to Knoebels Haunted Mansion.
I think you might be right...I've been trying to figure out which version of the Halloween theme it is for years, I thought it was some off-brand cover version lol. I think the speaker system they use/the recording itself gives it a completely different sound, changes the saturation/tone entirely.
Thanks for bringing us through the Haunted Mansion JP! Happy Birthday, Ethan!🎈
The first and last time I was ever on this ride was back in the 90s when I lived there. This brought back wonderful memories
that was great new skull room in there
I'm very in board with the old school haunted dark ride but that final jump scare could probably do with some modernization. It seems a bit behind the times in a bad way.
Skull room is back!!
Never been to
Knoebels but looks like fun! I especially like the old "timey" feel to it.
And Happy Birthday, Ethan!
🎂
Come east and check it out. I know a guy who knows the park really well haha
@@JPVideos81 Yes! I definitely need to come explore the Eastern side of the country at some point! (have only been in Fla, Georgia and a bit of TN so far)
They brought the Michael Myers music back now it's after the witch now lol 😂
Happy birthday Ethan! And thanks JP for the cool video!
Great video! Can't wait to see it. Didn't see the graveyard scene tho, as it was my favorite.
Happy Birthday Ethan from Texas

JPVideos that’s awesome!
Awesome ride. 👍
I remember years ago they had the water fall just in front of the exit door and it would turn off at the last minute so you wont get wet. Did you write you RUclips logo on the bridge
The water curtain isnt working because they said it messes with the newly installed electrical system.
Hi Jay. Hope you are doing great. Awesome video.
Noticed the track from "Disney's Thrilling Chilling Sounds Of The Haunted Mansion" at the 10:40 mark
I just went on it and I freaked out
Is the Haunted MAnsion oldest ride at Knoebels? Great video buddy Keep it up
Not the oldest, but probably has the most history tied to it.

So did they remove the Mirrors and Skulls room with the HALLOWEEN them music?
It's in a new place
"They brought it back!" I had no idea that they got rid of it. Why was it closed? Are any other attractions closed?
I LOVE SPYDELLIC BUBBLE SOUND
When I was at knoebels since last month, me and my Family went also Preston joined in to come with me to knoebels but I was so very happy that he went to the rides with me and also the haunted house was a bit of creepy like freak and also I was not that afraid and we sat together in the haunted house ride as well but we all had a great time since a month ago but I was on the other rides at knoebels and I really loved some of the rides and I didn't like the Black diamond at all but I was so very scared and everything and we had lunch too but when the day ended, we had to take Preston home after that and we said goodbye to him for coming to knoebels with me and my Family but that was so nice that he came but that was very sweet of him but I really like Preston Koch so much!!!! 😊😊😊😊😊😊
Never been on this ride, but it looks pretty cool. The only thing that threw me off was the jungle scene at the end. Super random. lol
Happy anniversary to the ride that bears the name to Disney ride with the same name
