![Lights-On Haunted Mansion Holiday Ridethrough - Disneyland Attraction Malfunction [4K POV] | We are not sure what the cause of the attraction failure was, but it happened twice during our visit. The footage from the loading ramp is from the second time we tried to ride it. The ride shut down right as we were about to get on, and we were escorted out through a door. Most of the video is made up from footage shot earlier in the morning, during the first shutdown. There was no communication from Cast Members at any point during the ride.

However, we're glad we got a look at some backstage Disney magic!
