Today marks the 40th anniversary of Disneyland’s Haunted Mansion ride. In celebration of the event 4 lucky park visitors will be able to sleep overnight in the rides famous elevator – creepy!

The elevator is the room in the ride that seems to stretch – showing all of the pictures on the wall grow and go from happy to scary. This is the room where all of the lights go out and a ghost voice tells you there are no windows, and no doors…and no way out!!!

A radio station in California (KLOS 95.5) hosted the competition for the chance to win a sleepover in the Haunted Mansion. This will mark the very first time that any park visitor will be allowed to spend the night at the Haunted Mansion ride in the park.

Given the opportunity to stay there overnight would you? We would love to spend the night in the park, but we’re not so sure about the Haunted Mansion after dark – we would probably get really scared!
