That was the puzzle Walt Disney's designers had to solve when they built the Haunted Mansion at Disneyland in Anaheim, California. Step inside today and you'll drift past a ghostly ballroom where see-through figures waltz and swirl, a group of singing stone busts, and a bride who glows in the dark. None of them are ghosts at all, but you might have to look twice to be sure.  \nThose glowing figures took a surprisingly long time to appear, because the people making them couldn't agree on one big question. Should the mansion be truly scary, or should it be silly and fun? Some of Disney's artists, called Imagineers, wanted spooky chills, while others wanted jokes and grinning skeletons. They argued for years, which is one reason the ride wasn't finished until 1969, long after the building itself was standing empty.  \nWhen the doors finally opened, the winners of that argument had clearly chosen fun over fright. The ghosts you meet are cheerful, not cruel, and many of them seem to be inviting you to a party rather than chasing you out. A famous voice actor named Paul Frees played the \"Ghost Host,\" who guides you through with a warm, teasing chuckle. That friendly feeling is the reason families with young children ride it again and again.  \nThe friendliest ghosts of all are the ones dancing in that ballroom, and they hide a clever secret from the 1800s. The trick is called \"Pepper's ghost,\" named after a showman who made it famous in London theaters in the 1860s. It works like this: a huge sheet of angled glass reflects brightly lit figures hidden off to the side, so they seem to float right in the middle of the room. Mirrors, colored light, and a little darkness do the rest, turning ordinary models into ghosts that shimmer in the air.  \nThat old stage trick is exactly why the mansion still amazes people who visit it now. Disney later built copies at parks in Florida, Tokyo, and Paris, proving the idea traveled far beyond California. Millions of guests ride it every year, and many say the leaving is their favorite part, because a grinning \"hitchhiking ghost\"appears to climb right into the car beside you. And here's the strangest fact of all: the whole spooky wonder is built from mirrors, glass, and light, with not a single real ghost in sight.  \nThe Most Famous Haunted House Ride Name:  \n| Solve each problem.\u003Cbr>Use the article to answer the question.\u003Cbr>1) What puzzle did Disney's designers need to solve when building the ride?\u003Cbr>A.
