One of Disneyland's classic thrill rides closed for refurbishment a couple of weeks before the start of the Disneyland 70th anniversary celebration, and work has been taking place on the attraction since that time.

A celebration 70 years in the making is in full swing at the Anaheim, Calif., park in honor of its milestone anniversary on July 17

In the midst of the park’s 70th anniversary celebration, one of its most famous rides, the Haunted Mansion, is temporarily closing for two weeks. During this brief closure, guests won’t be able to experience the eerie charm of the iconic ride located in New Orleans Square.

Disneyland is celebrating 70 years as "The Happiest Place on Earth" with a new show featuring a lifelike animatronic of founder Walt Disney.
