Yes, but the ride is generic. Sure, it's a really spiffy example, but it's not unique, and certainly not the most spectacular example (even when it first opened) of a train, so it's not as big of a deal. The Haunted Mansion was a first-of-its kind wonder, so it's more of a big deal to separate it from lesser examples.
