Mystic Point Freight Depots
📍New Territories
Lord Henry Mystic is an explorer and lover of all things mysterious. He collects artefacts and treasures from around the world, and keeps them at his secluded hilltop manor, known as Mystic Point. Now he has opened up his home to visitors, and invites you to explore the grounds and mansion, and meet some his friends and family along the way!

Lord Henry's nephew James appears for a daily mini-show performed at the old cargo rail depot near the manor house, but it is unclear as to whether he also greets guests regularly. If you see him, be sure to stop him and say hello!
DELIVERY FOR LORD MYSTIC
When it comes to members for the Society of Explorers and Adventurers, Henry Mystic is a strange but kind-hearted and curious man who has amassed a variety of artifacts from all around the world throughout his long and expeditious life. Unlike Harrison Hightower, of Tokyo Disney Sea's Tower of Terror infamy, Lord Mystic procures his world treasures properly, paying for them before having them shipped to his residence. And over at Mystic Point, his collectibles are on display, presented in the open before they are delivered to his manor. They're an interesting and eclectic bunch, but they make for a fun sight.
Besides Mystic Manor, Mystic Pointe contains a train depot full of incoming artifacts for the wealthy and eccentric collector, Lord Henry Mystic.
The two videos below explore offer an extensive overview of the Mystic Point area and a closer look inside Mystic Manor, guided by Imagineers and executives responsible for the creations.
We’ve already shared a few ride-throughs of Mystic Manor. Still, these videos offer a more in-depth look at what these experiences are all about – without giving too much away – followed by an extensive interview that further explores the inspiration behind it all.
The Story Behind the Story
Walt Disney Imagineer Mark Schirmer is the Executive Creative Director of Mystic Manor and Mystic Point, the new land that’s home to the groundbreaking new ride. He recently has worked on popular attractions like Monsters, Inc., Ride & Go Seek, and Buzz Lightyear’s Astro Blasters in Tokyo Disneyland.
For Hong Kong Disneyland, Schirmer and his Imagineering team crafted an elaborate story inspired by some of the most widely-enjoyed Disney attractions of all time, knowing that what they were creating would immediately be compared to The Haunted Mansion.
“We actually embraced that,” Schirmer admitted. “That was one of the things we took on as a challenge from a design point of view. On the one hand, we wanted to go back to classic Disney roots and figure out what was done in the days Walt developed The Haunted Mansion and Pirates of the Caribbean or some of the great dark rides. We wanted to go back to that, which was obviously core storytelling.”
But in today’s high-tech society, it wouldn’t be good enough to rehash the past. Disney wanted to create something that had never been seen before.
Story Behind Mystic Manor: Imagineers Get Inspired By Classic Dark Rides To Create New Adventures For Hong Kong Disneyland.
When Hong Kong Disneyland officially opens Mystic Point this week, Guests will witness the debut of an all-new attraction that feels oddly familiar. Though the story and characters of Mystic Manor are fresh creations for this new ride, longtime fans of Disney’s spookier side will notice some similarities to a few classic theme park experiences. Still, they may be surprised at its high-tech differences.
There is a version of The Haunted Mansion attraction in every Disney theme park resort worldwide – except Hong Kong Disneyland. At Walt Disney World in Florida, Disneyland in California, and Tokyo Disneyland in Japan, it’s Disney’s ever-popular dark experience filled with 999 happy haunts. At Disneyland Paris in France, the same basic idea became Phantom Manor, giving The Haunted Mansion a Frontierland twist. And now, in Hong Kong, Imagineers have been inspired once again to create Mystic Manor, offering a similar trip through an unusual mansion but replacing the supernatural with mystery and intrigue blended with worldly culture.
An Adventure Like No Other
Both Mystic Point and Mystic Manor share a common story. One does not exist without the other as they were all created, as the story goes, by the eccentric explorer Lord Henry Mystic. It’s a name unfamiliar to fans, new to the Disney universe. But anyone who steps foot onto the grounds created for him at Hong Kong Disneyland will quickly become acquainted with him – and his curious little monkey.
Walt Disney Imagineer Mark Schirmer is the Executive Creative Director of Mystic Manor and Mystic Point, the new land that’s home to the groundbreaking new ride. He recently has worked on popular attractions like Monsters, Inc., Ride & Go Seek, and Buzz Lightyear’s Astro Blasters in Tokyo Disneyland.
Schirmer said it all started when Imagineers decided on the topic of world travel and exploration.
“I think that set the stage for us to go forward and really get into the backstory of Mystic Point. Using that, obviously developing the character Lord Henry Mystic, and setting it back in 1908, is the essence where we’re taking you back,” explained Schirmer.
“The idea of this brand new story and brand new characters – that was something that we really wanted to dive into, but at the same time bring it forward to 21st century and really embellish it with state-of-the-art special effects. So that combination of the old and new was really something we were going after.”
On one of his expeditions, he basically fell in love with this location – this uncharted tropical wilderness – and wanted to stake his claim, make his home there. So he cleared out part of the jungle along the river bank and built this Victorian manor. He’s obviously a well-to-do British gentleman, and he wanted a little bit of home in this tropical wilderness. He started with the essence of a Victorian manor but, of course, wanted to embellish it with all the different places that he’s been. So it’s this eclectic Victorian manor sitting in this cleared-out jungle along the river.
While he was there, that’s where he met and actually rescued his traveling companion, a young monkey that he named Albert, after one of his beloved uncles. Between finding this location and meeting his now lifelong pal and companion Albert, this is really the essence of Mystic Point.
Continuing that idea, we wanted to tell the story about his collection. Anyone willing to make this hard journey and stumble on or find Mystic Point, he – being a philanthropic character – wanted to open the doors of his home to showcase his collection. And that’s what Guests are coming to Mystic Point for, to showcase and view the collection and meet Lord Henry and Albert.
The “Magneto-Electric Carriage” Schirmer mentioned is the ornate, trackless ride system that guides Guests freely through Mystic Manor, sometimes gathering multiple vehicles together, other times breaking apart to offer a closer look at the events that unfold inside. He calls the unique ride system “one of our biggest advantages and biggest challenges at the same time.”Taking a high-tech approach to a classic dark ride, Mystic Manor is certainly like none of Disney’s other eerie experiences. But much like The Haunted Mansion, despite a darker tone, its visual style was decided to stay much more lighthearted.
Without giving too much away, the rest of the Mystic Manor experience sends Guests flowing through a series of the mansion’s rooms, each with its own visual effects.
inspired by countries worldwide – China, Morocco, Egypt, and more. And fans of the extinct Adventurers Club at Walt Disney World will recognize some animated elements scattered throughout, though Schirmer didn’t want to give away those surprises.
