Damn, the witch had NO chill. Tries to kill you like 6 times
In one of them
Ikr no chill at all…
Ain't no one gonna be the fairest one of all but her!
Yes
She just needed a hobby
Imagine getting stuck in the original ride
(SHUDDERS)
Scared to death could definently be a possibility.
No... just NO
I got stuck in the haunted mansion. Not as scary, but still not pleasant.
Me : Hell No
Disneyland's Version: is pretty scary
Disneyworld's Version: hold my beer
@PartySlime76
Disney World version: we're the scariest thing in the world
Decades later with amy rose: hold my beer
Sounds like Florida
@@meghanbortle6863 Do you mean the state or a person?
More like hold my poison apple or hold my potion
@@strikerrider7793 yeah but i stick with traditional.
I like how Disney was bold enough to make a scary ride in a family park. This is one of many reasons adults love Disneyland as much as kids.
they are ruining it as I speak. Stupid refurbishment;-;
Yeah well they screwed up the potential Alien ride multiple times until it morphed into that Stitch’s Great Escape abomination and regularly “tone things down” so it depends
And now they removed splash mountain
@@kipsate3376 they haven't removed it yet. And if that does happen, it won't be for awhile
@@Veste7182 its getting there
I swear the second one it’s pretty much just “the witch tries to kill you, then the witch tries to kill you *again.* Then she tries to crush you after poisoning doesn’t work.”
Your name fits for the witch to do
Ma’am. Just stop.
Oh when you swear and you are wrong you i dont want to tell you
That's why I'm glad I wasn't able to ride it. I'm happy at the people behind it for taking risks, but the whole ride just focusing on one conflict kinda makes for a pretty boring ride, IMO. But maybe that's just my bias talking.
Then it's all a dream, noted by the starbursts lighting up after she crushes you. It could be interpreted as Snow White waking up.
The ending doesn't even seem to make any sense. Why is the witch in the mine? Why does it just end there with no explanation? Does she kill you with that gem? Why, again, would that be the final scene, when it's nothing like the films at all? And the fact that she even asks if you're enjoying the "ride" makes it a downright bizarre narrative
Okay.
Old Disneyland has NO chill.
Aside from being CHILLING by its original description relaying to human FEAR, not the cheeky current meme definition.
TherealRNO you sound like my grandma
What about Disney WORLD?! It’s terrifying!!
i liked it
The OG Snow White ride from the fifties was actually more or less the same as the current version as far as tone is concerned.
People think it’s scary?
*Disney logic*
Let’s make it even scarier!
Lol
Dun dun duuuuuuuun
Ikr!
Disney: "You call THAT scary? Try this poisoned apple. Or this poisoned apple. Or this crocodile. Or these skeletons eternally wailing for help. Or these lunging trees. Or this witch trying to crush you with a mine. And a diamond. And a shelf."
*child cries and runs back to Disneyland's Snow White*
Disney: "That'll teach ya to complain. Smh."
I’d love to like but the likes are at 666, perfect for this comment.
No, I don't want your apple; I literally JUST saw you poison it!
Good one lol
Me: of course not I saw you poison it IDIOT WITCH IM NOT BLINDDD
Yeah! HONESTLY WITCH! First we see you poison the apple, NOW YOUR OFFERING US IT? WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?!
You make it sound like a stranger danger VHS scenario. Hey kids, want some knives laced with formaldehyde? No evil witch, we don't.
“Oh ok... i guess I’ll just take my apple and... HAH YOU THOUGHT HERE’S THE APPLE AGAIN BITCH”
people at the first snow white: this is scary
imagineres: OH YOU THOUGHT THAT WAS SCARY ILL SHOW YOU SCARY
OW QUIT IT
More like that one specific Imagineer, the one that had also wanted to make The Haunted Mansion much darker.
Let me show you the world, the horrifying thing on yooooutube
th-cam.com/video/XTgFtxHhCQ0/w-d-xo.html
MK: THERE HOW YOU LIKE THAT!
*Child cries*
Edit: Why ya guys like this so much
i'ma litten meow Ha! IKR! Perfect timing!
*-again!-*
*child dies*
(Child Cries Again)
another child cries. XD
Disney: "Okay, boys, time to make something new for the kids!"
Also Disney: *hired on the man who wanted the truly Haunted Mansion for Snow White's Scary Adventure*
Who was that, David Lynch?
ExplorerDS6789 Claude Coates
He and Mark Davis had a debate over the Haunted Mansion. Cotes wanted it to be more scary while Davis wanted it to be funny
Alright kids, what ideas ya got?
". . . *DEATH."*
. . . . gonna, just take your coffee away . . .
WHO EVEN THOUGHT THAT WAS A GOOD IDEA, oh yeah. Walt. Bad idea Walt…
I think the originals were so scary because the designers of the ride really did succeed in making people experience the tale from Snow White’s point of view, but rather than the guests thinking it was Snow White’s POV, they instead made themselves the protagonist, so the scary aspects of the ride felt like they were directed at you and, thus, were more viscerally received.
I love that clip from the announcement of the Fantasyland expansion.
Disney: "We're expanding Fantasyland..."
Audience: "Yay!"
Disney: "so we can add more princess meet and greets!"
Audience: "...Oh."
XD my thoughts too. It needed more animated films besides the princesses. But since they made an area mostly consisting Dumbo, I can forgive them. I'm obsessed with that movie XD
I remember when New Fantasyland was announced, and while the idea of an expansion was praised, the whole "princess-centric" idea was not very well received. By the sound of the original plans, there was originally going to be walkthrough meet and greet style attractions for Belle, Aurora, Cinderella, and Snow White herself, along with a pixie hollow area. Fans voiced their concerns about the over abundance of Princess meets, and over the next few years, Disney kept redesigning the land, eventually cutting Pixie Hollow, and all of the walk through meet and greets except for Belle's, which became Enchanted Tales with Belle. Of course, the other princess meet and greets were all condensed into Princess Fairytale Hall, which sealed the fate of the Snow White ride. I'm sad that Snow is gone, but I AM happy that Disney did not go crazy with all of the princess stuff, as much as I enjoy the characters.
THAT WAS AWESOME LOL
14:02 Geez, what a roller coaster of emotions.😂
You know what?
The WDW version is really fucked up and I love it.
Yeah, I probably would have gone there haha but maybe it was smarter for them because of what age they were catering to.
I can’t believe they would turn something so risky and out-there into a sodding princess meet-and-greet. Oh wait, it’s Disney, yes I can.
Mr. Meloetta yea like what the f***
*"Yesterworld is not responsible for the nightmares you may have"*
Me:well shoot okay then risk it for the biscuit
FOR NARNIA
I may have a nightmare after watching yesterworld is responsible for nightmares because they made the video
;
Which: I am the fairest and the wonderful!!! Kid:*crys*
*Witch
Also it's "the fairest one of all."
lps 3427 *child cries*
Lol
lps 3427 lol
Snow White is gonna be the tone of your skin after you ride this ride. Too spooky.
Snow White already is the tone of my skin im ridiculously pale.
Even if you are black, you WILL be pale as a sheet of paper
BAHAHA
im already pale enough! i look like frekin voldermort
frekin???
Aw, I feel sad about the children crying. This actually seems quite scary for all ages, especially considering the source material.
Gonna be honest: I think it's hilarious.
CiderDivider Emperor: This shows that Walt Disney has the power of the dark side.
I don't think that was really the sound of some kid crying, because that footage was recorded by WidenYourWorld, who worked as a ride operator at Disney World during the late eighties and early nineties and heavily documented things in the park that he thought were worth preserving. He has a bunch of dark-ride POV recordings on his channel, and I'm pretty sure he's riding alone in all but one of them.
@@goatprince1 I remember seeing it on Martin's tribute and laughing because I knew he was faking it.
At first I thought, "oh it's just a sound effect that sounds like crying". But when comparing it to other ride POV's audio, I realized it legitimately was someone crying.
Parents complained and Disney just made it scarier, true savages back then 😂💀
Should've been that way for Alien Encounter and Countdown to Extinction.
@@vgmaster9 what’s countdown to extinction? I don’t know/remember that
@@FisherBros It's the old version of the Dinosaur ride.
@Harley Q What does the Q in ur name stand for?
Based. There shouldn't be any complaints.
Oh dear lord...I think the original 7 Dwarfs costumes were far more terrifying than the ride ever was!
Also, my first trip to a Disney park was Disneyland when I was four, circa late '76-early '77. I remember I wasn't afraid in the least of the Snow White ride, but Mr. Toad TERRIFIED me! I literally screamed from beginning to end on that one!
Traumatizing Kids 101.
Plus, the second version makes the witch appear as a serial killer/psychopath since she's constantly trying to either cause havoc, or possibly kill you in every way she can. Gee, I wonder why this made the kids cry...
(Another child cries) I’m crying too child I’m crying too.
and so do the children from fnaf
no
Jessica Hammond two or three years ago, i wouldve been happy to see another fan, but now its been ruined for me by the rest of the fandom lol
Disneyland Version: Wow, That was way too terrifying. Nothing will ever be scarier!
Disneyworld Version: hold my *poison apple*
🍎🍏🍎🍏🍎
THAT COTTAGE LIKE OH MY GO-
thank you for justifying my fears of this ride induced on me when i was only four. none of my friends believed how terrifying this ride was.
parents complain about how scary it is..... let's make it even scarier. wow.
Lol
Gotta love old school Disney
That poor child that cried he probably got traumatized for life
I am so glad I never went on that ride
I rode the original WDW one and holy cow
Ricardo Martinez he's probably still crying
Ricardo Martinez he’s definitely balls deep in therapy bills.
@@SarahJareth me too when i was 5! i have never been more scared in my entire life!
Honestly that rotating queen-to-witch transformation always scared me senseless. It was so sudden and one of the best effects I’d seen as a kid.
Snow White had it's beginnings as a Grimm Fairytale, so it's going to be dark.
This was meant to be the Disney version...
Then again, even "Disney Version" means "Crapsaccharine World". I mean, The King Lion is basically Hamlet in the Wild, The Snow White... Bambi... Pinocchio... yeah...
But the Disney version was more lighthearted and fun. But still....uh the ride is terrifying
@@111zoe I agree with you, because you 🔚 up seeing plenty of children traumatized with fear. No wonder "scary" is added for a title of a dark ride like this one.
It sure did! The opening credits of the movie says, "Based on the fairytale by The Brothers Grimm".
Zoe Loschin it really wasn't. The witch was a dreadful person, there are skeletons in her dungeon. The woods scene is just as terrifying. Snow White actually did "die" lol
I heard about how terrifying the original WDW version of Snow White's Scary Adventure was and after watching this...
How Are You Here😲
Even as a kid i never felt it was a scary ride i mean the only part that i remember that made me lean into dad was when the Queen spins around and shes the witch but i feel the rest fit the story no?
I know I'll be sleeping with my lights on tonight .
its not that scary disturbing but not scary, its because of the cartoony look, if it had a more realistic look then it would be scary
@@alphayun7401
I disagree. It looks cartoony, sure, but...not enough. In fact, it's in that gap between "charmingly cartoony" and "realistic". The textures, colors, and such are realistic -- at least enough for a passing glance -- but combine those with the proportions, and it feels...wrong... I believe that's the Uncanny Valley.
I went to Disney for the first time in 91. I was 5 years old. This was the first ride my mother took me on and it took her the entire rest of that first day to get me on ANY other ride. I was SO frightened by it that I refused to go on any other ride that was inside. That original MK version was TERRIFYING!
Amber Leigh I had a similar experience. Except my dad took me on the stitches great escape ride in 2010. I was ten and still scared of the dark at that time. :P
This ride was scarier than The Haunted Mansion when I was growing up.
I never cared to go on Haunted Mansion... but I did go on Pirates. We were more Tomorrowland people.
9:39
Queen gets revealed
Queen: I'm BatMan
Doesn't matter how many " child safe " updates it gets , this ride will forever be terrifying ....just like when Monstro leaps out at ya in Pinocchios ride .
That last part... whale fans won't be scared. Monstro FTW
Won’t someone please think of the children!?
Javi Gurrol They were, they were thinking of how to scare the children! And why not scare all the adults while we’re at it!
Kim Nichols
I think they had the mentality that Don Bluth adopted when making his films: Kids could handle a lot as long as there was a happy ending. Sadly, it looks like they missed the "happy ending" part for a while...
simpsons reference
that's a good idea! use the children to crawl into the smaller places you couldn't normally reach!
XD
This ride legit gave me nightmares as a kid, yet I still liked going on lol.
Them diamonds are looking like Rupees from the Legend of Zelda.
*Your face is beaming* lol
*Song of storms intensifies*
Link’s face in his dream from Ocarina of Time sums it up.
Cellic Cryptic LET IT RAIN! LET IT RAIN! LA LA LA LA LA LA LA!
I HATED this ride growing up, my parents once took me on it, pretending there was nothing scary about it, and i was very angry with them to say the least lol. Great vid as always!
Lol my parents use to do the same thing lol but k ow what i feel like that old school way of letting you know theres nothing to fear but fear its self helped me face scarier things getting older ... But that could just be me
Andrew Blossoms yeah same here I couldn't sleep that night well
My parents took me on it when I was 3 and I remember it being frightening to me but going on it with my family so it didn't cause me to panic. Our trip would have been 93 or 94, so I'm not sure whether it was the toned down version or not, but wow I recall going on and expecting the happy Snow White parts and not the scary ones so it definitely was a little jarring. As a kid I was scared by the witch in the animated movie so seeing her in person probably had me hiding in my face in parents shoulder. I appreciate it now though, cause it is a great dark ride.
I'm just glad it wasn't an option to go on the Pinocchio ride (since I don't think there was one in WDW) because as a kid I was horrified by that movie more than any other one with the children becoming donkeys and crying for their mothers and getting their clothes ripped off then thrown into crates. WTF Disney?! I still don't choose to rewatch that movie because of how sinister that scene was. You gotta love how disturbingly depicted the Pinocchio ride recreates the horrifying scenes but doesn't show Pinocchio becoming a real boy in the finale part (he's just a puppet still). Uh, how bout prioritizing the important parts more?
Andrew Blossoms It’s horrifying!
@@Nightman221k And they don't get saved!
"When someone tries to tell you that Alien Encounter is Disney's most terrifying attraction" ask them if they've ever ridden Pinocchio's Daring Journey. I'm 26. I have horrible, horrible anxiety. We rode that ride for the first (and last) time on our first trip to Disneyland in May and I *still* can't sleep with the lights off. It's now Mid-September. Had a terrible panic attack on that.
Whitney Elizabeth I've always had a fear of the Pinocchio film but my mum wanted me to go on it so my dad went on it by himself first I've never seen him scared before he came off that terrified
Whoever designed the Snow white rides really is having the fun of their lives.
Hell, I bet it was Walt's idea to make the ride into a scare attraction the madman.
Friend: Hey you want to go to the snow white ride.
(Child cries)
Me: oh kale naw
Holy shit, who thought making an attraction meant to attract little girls and boys into a literal chased-by-a-monster-style nightmare was a good idea???
I think they said his name in the video. That same man wanted to make The Haunted Mansion darker than it ended up being.
It was a rhetorical question, my dude. I *did* watch the video, after all.
Adults
*raised hand sheepishly*
He had a plan and he went for it.
I went on the Disneyland version at 10:00 pm by myself a few weeks ago and I couldn’t sleep that night
I'm just glad America still has a creepy version of the ride
Wait. A few weeks ago? I thought they tore down the Disneyland version? That was the original version of the ride, right?
Sorta--it was completely redone with the Fantasyland re-do in 1983 (along with the other dark rides and adding in Pinocchio's Daring Journey)
I went on the original Disney World version as a 4 year old. Scared the life out of me and traumatized me till this day. I went again in the 2000s after the update not knowing it was changed. I thought after riding it I had just imagined the orginal version and chalked it up to being so young. After so many year I'm glad to know I wasn't crazy and that original ride was a true nightmare.
I would like to be in the original scary version
S H Y E E 1 2 i whoud also want that
S H Y E E 1 2 I have gone on the ride.... I was four 🤯😭
This ride genuinely gave me nightmares as a kid. Scared me more than any ride at any theme park. Way to be kid-friendly Disney!
it literally said scary on it
Attraction Ideas Hello?
If there could be similar haunted house dark rides that’ll be scary for some people!
Same!
The happiest place on Earth
You would think the early version is just an Internet creepypasta but it was real lol
I think it might have help inspired some of the creepypasta stories, along side the terrifying costume they used to have.
Snow White was pale white with hyper realistic blood on her clothing
The whole thing sounds like a creepypasta lol *cries internally*
seems like a really fun ride to go with friends as a teen/adult though
Snow white attraction is too scary
Disney:
Also Disney: let's make it even scarier!
Disneyworld:, let's turn this into a straight up horror attraction
the part with the chairs having big ol eyes in the original WDW version was a big NOPE for me
I know, most of the scarier stuff in the original WDW version didn't seem like much to write home about for me, but that scene where the scenery itself has come alive just to express terror at some all-pervasive lurking horror is like... bad acid trip scary! Kudos, Claude Coats!! Pity we'll never get to see his vision of the Haunted Mansion.
I noped when i saw the trees with eyes
+RoyStorey
I grew up with Banjo-Kazooie and Banjo-Tooie, so objects with eyes fascinate me more than inflict terror into my soul.
But it's not just the fact that the objects _have_ eyes. I grew up watching old black & white cartoons by Disney, Max Fleischer, etc., where objects with eyes was pretty commonplace. What's disturbing here is their unexpected twisted, frozen expressions of terror, combined with the horrific audio. It's kinda like how in the graveyard scene of the Haunted Mansion, the reactions of the freaked-out night watchman and his shivering dog are more fear-inspiring than the rather goofy ghosts in the scene.
+DanHarkless ﴾Halloween videos, YTPs, & more﴿
Ah, I see what you mean. While I'm fine with almost all parts of Banjo-Kazooie and Tooie, I will admit that there are parts that scare me (even to this day). The Rippers outside of Mad Monster Mansion are a good example. Not only do they growl and chase you, but they are way larger than Banjo. The S'Hards, Cursed Beehives, and Minjos of the sequel have a similar effect.
This is literally like a “fuck that” ride. I was too scared to even watch the movie as a kid... luckily I don’t actually remember ever having to ride this. I was scared of Pirates and it’s now my all time favorite...I’d say the top scare for me was ExtraTERRORestrial Alien Encounter... I was like 6. My mom MUST HAVE misunderstood what that was cuz that’s not her style haha
oh god the alien encounter one, scared the shite out of me when i was young, what made it worse my parents thought it was the buzz light year ride, which we learnt you had to basically go behind everything to get too, and a very common mistake was that alien ride being mistaken for it x-x
Draco the Kitsune that’s got to be what my mom thought cuz there is no other reason she would have me ride that
I couldn't work up the nerve to go near the Haunted Mansion until I was 12. That howling outside was enough for me to say "fuck that" and u turn back towards Frontier Land or walk faster towards Fantasy Land.
It doesn’t help that the vehicles basically leave u open to all the spooks, like at least Haunted Mansion vehicles had walls surrounding you so that you weren’t basically right next to those horrific animatronics
i was so terrified of the pirates ride, when i was younger i went on a log chute type attraction and i was certain that the ride would end in a 40 foot drop 😂
Disney: We are nearly doubling the size of Fantasyland...
Everyone: *Cheers*
Also Disney: To include more of your favorite princesses!!
Everyone: ...
You can hear so many exhales of immediate disappointment lol
Alien encounter: I’m the SCARIEST Walt Disney World ride!
Disney World’s Snow White: Hold my Dole whip
I wish we could still experience the terrifying versions.
@BK Beatty also idea: make them available in VR
I was 7 when I first went to Disneyland, the year was 1958. I was terrified from the Snow White ride! I didn't go on the ride again until 17 yrs. later. I just thought that being an adult made the ride not as scary. Very interesting that they did tame it down some!
I really like Kevin from Defunctland's quick cameo. Do all theme park ride history video creators look out for each other?
Personally, I think the 1971 version at WDW is among my top 3 dark rides ever made.. Claude Coats really outdid himself on creating a truly horrifying attraction. I wish there was more of that at Disney. It’s also very amusing to me just how much the ride fucks with customers at Disney who might’ve been tricked into thinking it was a nice happy ride.
“As you enter the forest and without even a moment of relief..” The narration in this video had me lol 😦🤣😀 Great job
EXCELLENT THUMBNAIL
Thanks Dan, it's funny, another creator also named Dan made it despite me wanting to go wither another thumbnail entirely and all I did was tweak it a tiny bit....strange.
this is right up your alley dan.
Disney Dan Disney Dan!
will this count as extra credit in distory 101?
Make a video of a The evil queen!!!
Me: I love Snow White nothing can ruin her!
Me: *Watches video*
Me:I’m sooo dead inside.
The WDW ride terrified me as a kid! When I rode it a few years later and it seemed less scary, I thought it was just because I was growing up 😂 didn't realize they actually toned it down. It was way too scary at first!
People are just slow if they can’t figure out that they are the protagonist
Lion's Retreat, i think that was a clever idea, but ppl are too stupid to get it. gotta cater to the lowest denominator
I just naturally assumed that as a kid, so I never questioned the absence of Snow White/Peter Pan/Alice in any of those rides, though I didn't really care when they were added.
@@foofy3406 keep in mind that this was the first time that something like that was done I think most people going on the ride just naturally expected to actually see the main character not necessarily to be the main character I think that it's a little unfair to call them stupid
Pretty much
I imagine kids got it and their parents didn't, but it's unfair to call people stupid for not getting it
The old version was like one of those intense haunted houses XD Wow!
I remember going on the original version in Orlando back in the 70's. I was an older kid so I found it more cool than scary. But I couldn't help think 'I just passed the witch in a room just a second ago, now here's another one. Is it the same one? Just how many evil witches are chasing Snow White anyways?'
Amazing!
How sad to see something so imaginative and original just dissapear.
Why would you need creepypasta to make Disney "dark", when they can do it themselves and do it 100x better??? 😆 And folx complain that Disney can't be scary!
I will say, Claude Coates was pretty awesome! If he made the original version of the Snow White ride *that* scary, I can only imagine what his entirely creepy Haunted Mansion would be like!
The lunging trees would have been the final straw for me! Gotta love a well paced ghost train.
You know what ride scared me as a little kid in 2007? Mr. Toad's Wild Ride.
Me too! My friend went with our family to Disneyland once, and she wanted to go on that ride, so my sister and I tagged along. We regretted it when we "got hit by a train".
Must...go...to...Disneyland...
(I live on the East Coast.)
What ?
Me and my bro and sis hit up that ride and hated it! It was REALLY jerky-OMG😠
Did you ride Mr Toad at California or Florida?
Thank you so so much for including the strobe warning. It is noticed and appreciated.
This is interesting. I never knew Walt Disney World's version was so different from Disneyland's. According to the book "Mouse Under Glass," at one point in WDW's planning, they intended to have the scary Fantasyland dark ride be themed to "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow," but later decided to have the Fantasyland dark rides be themed after the same movies as at Disneyland. I wonder if some of the scariness of "Sleepy Hollow" was still on their minds when they were designing WDW's "Snow White."
I want that Sleepy Hollow ride! The child me felt unparalleled terror/creepiness at watching the original Legend of Sleepy Hollow. Snow White, Haunted Mansion were 2 of my fave Disneyland rides when I was 4.
Interesting to know
“It’s The Quicked Wi...The Wicked Qui...” Idk why that made me laugh so hard! 😂
That's our Doc!
Maybe it was the stuttering?
2:53 I dunno man, That skeleton looks like he's having a pretty good time too me.
Wish Disney had the guts to make scarier rides. I find the original Magic Kingdom version so fascinating! My little old self would've been so enthusiastic to experience that ride.
I remember it well and I absolutely loved it! This new pansy version is for the birds.
Now they’re just focused on their “gay/trans agenda” THEIR words
My only comment on the older version...
JESUS CHRIST
Well said.
Same, they made the Old Witch look more hyperrealistic and goonish there than she was in the film to maximize the scare factor. Props to them for that.
Hee ho holy mother
I remember a copple years ago my family rode that ride. We read a sign saying something like "Small children may be scared of this". My mom looked at me and said "Oh your old enough" Long story short my entire family was shivering on our way out. (Side note I was ten and my parents where in there early forties)
moms sounds cool lol
I wish to say "Thank You" for the thoughtful addition of the "Strobe Light" warning, love the video. Thumbs Up!
Came to post the same thanks! :)
I knew EXACTLY what scene they were referring to.
Yeah but I wouldn't say, "Have a nice video. Ugh! How about, Enjoy the rest of the video? That will definitely be a thumbs up.
The scene where the trees are staring and lunging at you with nothing but the wailing sounds like it’s pulled straight out of a creepypasta. Truly unnerving.
**sees the magic kingdom witch**
Me: wHaT tHe Fu-
*OHH SHIIIII-*
The first time I went to Disney World (2009) me and my family got stuck on the ride for like 10 min, the funniest thing about it was that we got stuck just before the ride ended, exactly below the witch when she's supose to throw the giant rock at you! We had to lisent to the Witch's laugh for soooo loooong!!! Hahaha!!
At least you didn't get stuck on "It's a Small World"!
Oh Lord above I would have killed somebody after that.
I never experienced this rude sadly
I’ve been to Disneyland since it was updated again. It’s a lot less scary now even. When the witch turns around when she’s in front of the mirror, she’s now far away across the room, whereas before she was right up in your face. That was always the scariest part.
I was a 90s kid who really loved going on this ride at Magic Kingdom all the time. I had the audacity to think it was tame except for the terrible memory of the witch dropping a boulder on me. Adult me wants to ride the ACTUAL scary version now...
Thank you for covering the Evolution of some of the rides. This one was really creepy when it first opened
I was so scared of that ride as a kid but I couldn’t remember why since I didn’t find it all that scary now. My parents said I was just overreacting but now I know my fear was justified!!!
Kim Nichols I was scared of this ride too when I was little
I grew up in Orlando in the 70’s and was visiting Disney World from its earliest days. The Snow White ride terrified me as a little kid...much more than the Haunted Mansion.
I can see most of these images being a “ Cursed Images “ video while the song Bonfire by Childish Gambino starts playing
I didn’t even need to go sleep tonight.
You ok
Same.
Sleep is for the weak anyways...
Same! -lucky me it’s the weekend!-
I'm probably alone on this. But i would have loved to ride the original version xD
same lol probaly because i have a wicked side ;)
SophisticatedPajamas Same. It looked like so much fun
ScorpionsFatality I would've loved to ride the second version!
No, you're not alone! When I went to Disneyland as a kid in the 1970's I never rode on Snow White because of that word (scary) in parentheses in the list of attractions, and seeing now what it was like I'm glad I didn't (I scared easily as a child). Now, however, I wish I could go on the old one, particularly the one in the Magic Kingdom!
Ngl same
The one that really scared the hell out of me was Mr. Toad's Wild Ride which inexplicably ended with J. Thaddeus in what appeared to be a simulation of hell...
i remember riding this in disney world when i was smaller, maybe 2006? I LITERALLY SHAT MY FUCKING PANTS WHEN I SAW THE WITCH
5:49 THATS THE PART THAT MADE ME LOSE MY SHIT
The originals seem like they would've been a lot of fun to go on! However, I can see why they toned them down, seeing as Fantasyland is typically the area with the highest concentration of little ones, who are easily frightened. It's a shame that WDW's was shuttered for a freaking meet and greet, though. Damn shame.
(Also, hi Kevin!)
Okay the cottage in the Magic Kingdom version actually freaked me out
I just saw a video of the 2021 updates to the Snow White ride and am not happy that the dark forest is now gone, as is the witch popping up behind the cottage door.
Rip Snow White's Scary Adventures...at least the Tokyo one still exists
I'm curious to know where you got the footage of the original 1955 Disneyland version of the ride from. You've put Universal Pictures on the bottom left corner so I assume it was taken from an old movie of theirs.
ToucanLDM wouldn't that be ironic.
JaimeDegs how else would they make movies back then?
I’m wondering the same thing... The footage is linked nowhere in the description. I just wanna know where he found it.
@JaimeDegs well...yeah (you should see the first camera ever built. Not like the stuff we use today I'll tell you that right now)
The ride footage of the original Snow White is from a Disneyland scene in the 1962 Universal movie 40 Pounds of Trouble. You can find videos of the scene on TH-cam.
Wasn’t the Florida versions ending with the jewel supposed to mean that the witch ACTUALLY CRUSHED YOU WITH THE JEWEL AND YOU DIED?!
Animat: Aw, what a cute ending.
BABEWBABEWBABEWBABEW
I think so... They did do a similar thing with Mr. Toad's Wild Ride, making like Toad got in an accident and went to Hell!
@@freddyrichards878 I was just thinking that
Yeah you actually died at the end of the ride
Original: is scary
Disney: lets this rides greatest trait,and make that trait greater!
Me: o boy here comes screaming children and nightmares *YAY*
7:37.. Beauty amongst these nightmares!
I remember being terrified of going on this ride whenever my family went to Anahime Disneyland... scratch that, I am STILL TERRIFIED OF THIS RIDE!!!
Itzel Valdez-Vera Same. I got scared when I was 5 going on the ride at Disneyland. I’m 21 now and I haven’t gone on the ride since.
When I first rode the Disneyland version about 45 years ago, at the age of 5 or 6, while you were waiting in line, you could clearly hear the witch's scream of death over and over again, every time the exit crash doors opened - I can't imagine any adult or child not figuring out, well before getting to the front of the line, it was going to be a very scary ride! And it didn't disappoint! While it's toned down from the original version, thank goodness it's at least still there, with that terrific facade and some nice effects. I think it's an absolute crime that the bigger, more elaborate version in Florida, with that nice entry past the wishing well and the happy ending, was bulldozed for another meet and greet. It's the first feature the studio made, the one that ensured the success of all the features and projects that followed, and an amazing film, an unprecedented artistic achievement - it deserved the classy (and appropriately scary!) tribute to the actual movie via a great dark ride there. At least something more than a rollercoaster all about the dwarves (which is fine, but please don't tell me there's only room for one Snow White themed ride in all of DisneyWorld, when we have multiple areas and attractions re-themed around pirates).
Anyway, great video with terrific footage and details - nice that you put all this together for all the people who never got to see these versions. I really appreciate it!
I remember this as a kid in Disney World. It was a pretty scary ride but I’m glad it was it definitely shaped my imagination to the filmmaker I am today.
I went to WDW in '77 with my mother. Snow White was(and STILL is) my favorite Disney Princess, so I HAD to ride the ride! After "The Transformation Scene" I closed my eyes! My mom did get a little mad because of time wasted. Thanks for showing me what I missed! I wish that it was still operating because I would this time keep my eyes opened!
