3. Tokyo Disneyland (1983)

In the Tokyo park, the Haunted Mansion is an almost identical copy of the Florida version down to the Dutch Gothic Revival architecture. Though Tokyo Disneyland has neither a New Orleans Square nor a Liberty Square, the Japanese tendency to consider ghost stories as fairy tales made Fantasyland a good fit — and the mix of American and European styles in the architecture made the mansion a nice transition from the European-style Fantasyland to the American-style Westernland.

The only differences you'll find here are the two bronze griffons guarding the front gate — adding to the "fantasy" — and the more overgrown gardens surrounding the mansion.

2. Disneyland Paris (1992)

Though it might not look anything like the Haunted Mansion to parkgoers accustomed to the mansions found in other Disney parks, Phantom Manor at Disneyland Paris would have been immediately recognizable to Walt Disney — it looks a lot like Harper Goff's original haunted house drawings and its story draws heavily from Ken Anderson's early drafts. The ride is located in Frontierland and builds an elaborate story about the bride character who plays a part in mansions elsewhere, but here takes center stage as the main attraction.

In many places, the bride has simply been added to familiar existing Haunted Mansion scenes, like the ballroom scene where she appears alongside other animatronics. However, everything from the graveyard scene onward is a totally new ride, taking riders to visit the haunted old west town of Phantom Canyon. The overall effect: it's a ride that leans more towards creepy than silly.

Would Walt have approved of this run-down western manor house sitting on the shore of the Rivers of America? That's a question we can't answer.... but Phantom Manor does bring some of the attraction's originally planned scares (though not the famous hatbox ghost) back to life in a creepy new way.

1. Hong Kong Disneyland (2013)

The latest mansion to join the lineup, Hong Kong's Mystic Manor is hardly a Haunted Mansion at all... mostly because it's not haunted, so you won't find a single ghost on the premises. So why does it make this list? Well, the ride does fill a role similar to that of the Haunted Mansion in other parks, providing a creepy but fun dark ride. Instead of running into ghosts, the rider is confronted with the supernatural as a magic music box brings the contents of Lord Henry Mystic's home to life. The scares here are minimal, but the humor is high as you watch Albert — Lord Mystic's pet monkey — accidentally release the power of the music box throughout the house.

But aside from the overall premise of being a somewhat spooky attraction, almost nothing here matches up with versions of the mansion seem elsewhere. The architecture is a Queen Anne style  mansion — though unlike its counterparts in Tokyo and Paris, this mansion is very nicely kept — to match with the brightly colored style of Mystic Point in which it’s located.

Inside there are even more differences because even the style of the ride differs from what you'll find in other parks: instead of a static omnimover system carrying riders in an endless loop through the ride, Mystic Manor is trackless, individually navigating each car through the ride and providing you with a slightly different experience each time you hop on board. It's a new type of ride tech that Disney hasn't brought to domestic parks yet... but who knows, perhaps in the future all mansions will take on this unusual ride style.
