Behind the Attraction Haunted Mansion

A new Disney+ series takes viewers behind the scenes of the Disneyland attractions with a 10-part series, Behind the Attraction! produced by Dwayne Johnson's production company. Imagineers reveal what's "behind the curtain" in the making of classic attractions like the Haunted House to Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge. The history of Disneyland will be explored with archival and never-before-seen footage on the creations and how they've updated throughout the years. Watch the trailer. 

Behind the Attraction! will launch on Disney+ on Wednesday, July 21 with the first five episodes. Paget Brewster (“Criminal Minds”) narrates the series.

Below is a description of the first five episodes.

Jungle Cruise: Join a skipper for the story behind Jungle Cruise, and try to spot the backside of water! When Walt decided to create the original immersive attraction, he tasked Imagineers with building a river AND the mechanical animals to populate it.

Haunted Mansion: Welcome, foolish mortals, to the Haunted Mansion — enter if you dare! When Walt Disney developed the attraction, he didn't specify if it should be funny or scary, and so it became a perfect blend of both.

Star Tours: Lightspeed to Endor! A long time ago…Disney created Star Tours, a thrilling simulator attraction that takes guests to a galaxy far, far away. It inspired Imagineers to build a whole new land — Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge.

The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror: Discover the ups (and downs!) of creating this gravity-defying attraction set in the eerie world of Rod Serling's renowned "Twilight Zone" television series. Then hold on tight as Imagineers reimagine the Disney California Adventure Park version as Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission: BREAKOUT!

Space Mountain: You're about to hear the story of Space Mountain in T-minus 5, 4, 3, 2, 1…launch! Walt's vision of an attraction that simulates space travel was a design challenge Imagineer John Hench tackled head on, creating a signature structure in Disney Parks around the world.
