According to the unofficial attraction list, I think there is no Haunted Mansion or Mystic Manor attraction.

I assume that the Haunted Mansion type attraction will be Mystic Manor from Hong Kong Disneyland and the Splash Mountain type attraction I believe is the Roaring Rapids attraction planned for Adventure Isle A.K.A Adventureland.

Shanghai Disneyland... will there be a Haunted Mansion and a Splash Mountain?

Adding a few close-up shots which I haven't posted in the original update:

Connectivity news:

A high-speed link would be extended from Shanghai Hongqiao Railway Station, passing through Shanghai East Railway Station and on to Pudong International Airport, said Guo Zhuxue, chief of Shanghai Railway Bureau.

This would provide a speedy link to Shanghai Disneyland, both for passengers on rail services that would otherwise terminate at Hongqiao and for visitors arriving at Pudong International Airport.

Hongqiao Railway Station is 35 kilometers from the Disneyland site, while Pudong airport is 10km from the resort. As China’s high-speed trains travel at up to 300 kilometers per hour, the distance could be covered within minutes.

Earlier this year, Shanghai transit authorities announced that Metro Line 11 will run a Disney-themed train on the subway extension taking visitors from Luoshan Road Station to Shanghai Disneyland, which has been under construction since October.

The brand new Shanghai Disney Resort will stage the popular Disney musical, The Lion King, when it opens next year.

The Broadway show will be staged in Mandarin at the theme park’s 1,200-seat Grand Theatre, which is currently under construction adjacent to Shanghai Disneyland. This will be the world’s first production of The Lion King performed in Mandarin.
