Which do you prefer?
The verdict: do both
Two very different kinds of spooky. Haunted Mansion is iconic, slow-paced, and suitable for most ages — a masterclass in Disney Imagineering. Tower of Terror is a genuine drop ride with unpredictable falls and intense psychological theming. If drops are not your thing, Haunted Mansion wins every time. If you can handle the drop, Tower of Terror is one of the best attractions in all of Disney World.
