Disneyland Paris is packed with rides to lure in all ages and types of people. But not all of them are designed to be fast and furious. Some of them are designed to give you a very different experience indeed.

A classic example of this is the haunted and creepy looking Phantom Manor. It sits atop a hill and can be seen from some distance away. You may find yourself drawn to it and yet you will feel hesitant about queuing to go inside. The manor is abandoned and ruined, but secrets and mysteries are behind the door. If you are brave enough to enter you will have an experience you will never forget.

The first part of the ride is actually undertaken on foot. You will be shown into the house and through a couple of rooms, one of which seems to have a problem with the ceiling and the floor. Do they both seem to be moving and making the room feel smaller? Watch out above your head too, because you never know what you might see there.

The actual ride itself takes place on a number of small Doom Buggies. With a name like this you can imagine what lies in store for you, but you should still be prepared to get a few shocks. You will be taken round various parts of the manor, to see what happened there and the secrets that it keeps from the outside world. You’ll need nerves of steel to make it through to the end, where you will be able to escape into the daylight once again.

You will find the Phantom Manor in Frontierland, not far from the Thunder Mountain ride. Indeed part of the storyline of the inhabitants of Phantom Manor is associated with the railroad, so make sure you pay attention. You will find out some surprising secrets about the ride, the manor and how they are connected.

The manor may not appeal to everyone but if you like to be unnerved and scared from time to time, you will love it. If you have the nerve, of course.
