When they were constructing Walt Disney World, there were no land issues and the attraction didn’t have a purpose for the elevator to a tunnel. Tunnel under the railroad Aerial overview of the Haunted Mansion When the stretching room doors open, you are now in a tunnel and you are walking under the railroad tracks toward the Doom Buggies boarding area.
