August 9, 1969 –
Disneyland
The Haunted Mansion opens in New Orleans
Square. The grand opening of the attraction is heralded by a
promotional blitz that include the "I Scream" Sundaes sold at
Disneyland's Carnation Plaza Gardens. The attraction's opening has been long-awaited, as the exterior facade was first built in 1963, but sat dormant as Walt and the Imagineers' attentions turned to the 1964-65 New York World's Fair, and Walt's untimely death in 1966 brought about further delay.
