| Watching Phantom Manor | |

 I used to be a lot more enthusiastic about the Extinct Attractions Club, but I still have a few DVDs that I bought from them that I haven't got around to watching. I used to be so starved for Disney park video that I would buy every DVD they made as soon as it was released! Of course, I'm still a Disney park maniac, but now I'm a little more picky about what I watch. Frankly, there have been several Extinct Attractions DVDs that were just too amateur for my taste, even though I still really believe in what the club is doing to preserve park history. Anyway, I finally watched The Haunted Mansion Story Part 2 this weekend, which focuses on Phantom Manor at Disneyland Paris. Since I've never been on the attraction, this was a really interesting documentary, and thankfully the interview portions were well done (hurray for actually using a tripod!). The ride-throughs were pretty dismal, though, but I know it's impossible to capture dark attractions like that with consumer video equipment. I think the funniest thing to me is that Jeff Burke, an extremely talented Imagineer who designed Phantom Manor, is so long-winded - I can't believe how his sentences ramble! Anyway, I really enjoyed the DVD, and it's nice to see the Extinct Attractions Club do such great work!
