Is this haunted room actually stretching? The answer may surprise you! (barf)

The stretching rooms at the Haunted Mansion are perhaps my favorite piece of hidden engineering at the Disney Parks. While only the Anaheim and Paris versions function in the fashion described in this video, it is still a neat effect regardless of how it’s done.

This video of the ride, taken with an EXCELLENT low light camera, will give you a great sense of what the ride is like for those who have never been. It's delightfully campy, which is part of its enduring charm.
