The stretching room is an iconic part of the Haunted Mansion and if you’ve watched previous
videos on this channel, we’ve mentioned how Disneyland’s stretching room is an actual
elevator. Well on a trip to the Mansion the ride broke down after we got out of the stretching
room. We were waiting in the hallway when a cast member said they didn’t know how
long the ride would be down for and he offered us a ride back up in the stretching room.
This was honestly one of the coolest experiences I’ve had at the park, so here’s the rare
trip up the elevator featuring some commentary from Defunctland’s Kevin Purger and other
foolish mortals!
{Kevin Purger} Yeaaa! We’re going up baby!
{Everyone laughs}
{Kevin Purger} No! Woah that’s messed up!
{Kevin Purger} Oh my gosh we’re going up real fast
{Everyone laughs & screams}
{Guest} Stop it! No way!
{Kevin Purger} Oh my gosh! Its like Indiana Jones
{Guest} Oh my god it moves down. Did you see that?
{Kevin Purger} Alright where are our fast passes?
{Guest} Quick selfie you guys
{Ride audio} Welcome foolish mortals
{Kevin Purger} Well this is awkward…that was amazing!
It’s really cool how near the end you could see the lights re-setting to show mode but
the most surprising part was how quick the elevator went back up. I mean it makes sense,
to maximize loading times between groups. Playing this clip going up in reverse shows
you just how much faster it actually moves.
Your cadaverous pallor betrays an aura of foreboding, almost as though you sense a disquieting
metamorphosis. Is this haunted room actually stretching? Or is it your imagination — hmm? And consider
this dismaying observation: this chamber has no windows, and no doors…
In full show mode it takes the portraits themselves about 28 seconds to fully stretch and going
back up its only about 16 seconds.

Although this wasn’t a ride breakdown in the usual sense with an in show exit, it was
still a unique experience allowed us to get a look at a bit of the magic that goes into
the attraction.
