We felt we ought to take at least one ride that has earned a yellow international
warning triangle ("might be intense for children and some adults"), and that's how
we chose The Haunted Mansion, in which people travel around in chairs through--you
know, an upmarket haunted house. This, in fact, produced a moment of intensity,
a holiday from confusion, in which I had the following clear thoughts: People die,
sometimes suddenly. Suppose I did here. That would be such an irresistibly amusing
anecdote for my survivors that what little dignity had accompanied this life would
be gone forever. I was very glad to get out of The Haunted Mansion alive.
--Richard Todd, "Lost in the Magic Kingdom" from May's The Atlantic
