- Disneyland's new refurbished attraction Snow White's Enchanted Wish and Snow White's Scary Adventures in a side by side ridethrough POV! Enjoy the comparison, we found it fascinating!
The Snow Whites Enchanted Wish Video is from:
WDWNT • NEW Snow White’s Encha...
I'm glad they didn't take much horror out of it. It's funny the original Snow White just end abruptly..lol.
Agreed, it still has some scary but not the completely abrupt ending!
I forget where it was and if its still like this, but I know one version of the ride ends with the evil queen crushing you with a diamond
@@coolnamepending7604 that was in Walt Disney world in the 90's. They changed it at some point in the late 90's then it closed fully in 2012 I think.
@@coolnamepending7604 that was the one in orlando. their original one. they changed in the 90s i think and later closed it for the seven dwarves mine train.
@@mattmasuda2132 ohh thanks for clarification
I love how it starts off almost the same ride, and then at the very end you're either seeing some cute princess stuff or being tormented by the nightmare trees...
I always laughed at the end when she falls and you hear her scream then it cuts to the end with the book saying “and they lived happily ever after” it was just a funny cut away lol
THEY SLOWED IT DOWN!!! Thats so much better those scenes always felt rushed and I wanted to see the animatronics etc
I still think it moves too fast. I get it, they got thousands of people they're trying to filter through their every day, but I still wish we had more time to savor it
Now we can tell, Snow white FINALY has her happy ending
Yay the terrifying jump scares are over
I still think it moves too fast. Not enough time to take in the scenery and enjoy it. The Evil Queen has one of Disney's all time death scenes. I want to savor it
@Henry Hightower uh oh, the poor little incel got triggered. Try not to shoot up a school because girls say no to you
@Henry Hightower by "the news" you mean millionaires posing as working class populists who generate fake outrage directed at minorities to keep people distracted and convince them to vote against their own interests?
@@Viking_Luchador he's not joking lol people really have been trying to cancel the ride for it
Slowing it down is a subtle but genius touch to enhance the ride.
They should slow down all the dark rides in Fantasyland (well except it's A Small World!) Thanks for watching!
I will miss the Witch death scream.
If only they had revamped that and put it before the happily ever after. It would have completed the story.
1:28 oh yeah, she just kind of turns her head around now, 1:58 the scream actually implies that she... ya know, died. and it's just kind of an entertaining scream lol. voice acting 100
@@lizzardgamer7146 What if that was the last thing. Like after the kisss and book your ride vehicle stops and there is the scream lmao.
@@lizzardgamer7146 I agree, the scream was pretty good
The scream is in the movie if you want to hear it again.
my only complaint , and it is a small one overall, They did a great job but i will miss when the witch came out of the cottage door at 1:46. That always got me by surprise.
Agreed. I always startled me but I had a good laugh after it happened.
Ikr
Yes! My sisters and I quote the "take a bite" line all the time lol! My cousin got so surprised at that part she screamed hahaha! Good times!
Yep one of my favorite parts as a kid.
I will miss the haunted forest scene, but the new additions are really gorgeous
I will not miss the nightmare forest lol
I will miss that too. Especially the alligator logs.
Same, I loved that scene
Same. It represented a certain type of art that is now gone and was scraped for cheesyness. A level of cheesyness that wasn't even in the original movie.
The technology for the refurbishment is completely amazing and magical.
When I was 3 my mum took me on the Snow White ride in Disneyland Paris and to this day I can’t watch the animated film without getting flashbacks of the evil queen in her hag form jumping out at you, literally I’m 22 now.
I believe it. I have a vague but significant memory of Monstro at Disneyland CA from when I was about 3 years old that I often flashback too when I see Pinocchio!
Same thing happened to me with Snow White's Scary Adventure in Walt Disney World. It was the first ride I went on during my first trip to Disney and it ended up being the ONLY ride I went on during my first trip to Disney because I was too afraid of the witch appearing in every building we came across (I wouldn't even enter my hotel room XD )
@@nickthedreamer4434 to be fair to my mum she didn’t know it was scary, at the time there was no warning and I think it was simply called Snow White’s adventure. It’s been years since I’ve been to Disneyland Paris but I think they put up a sign due to complaints. That ride put me off most ride for years.
Went to Disneyland with a family friend like when I was 6 back in 2008 and the Snow White ride literally traumatized me as a kid so badly that I had nightmares and when we went with my family back in 2014 when I was 12 and as we were waiting in line I was like how bad could it actually be 😏🥱 and as soon as I sat down ALL of my childhood fears all came back at once and I was literally trembling and I had hugged the life outta my mom and had my face in her shoulder the ENTIRE time and didn’t dare see a thing throughout the entire duration of the ride- 💀 and every time we go to Disneyland I literally wait outside for my family... 🧍♀️
I remember going on the Paris version when I was 4 and it frightened me, still sort of frightened me when I went back on it for the first time since then, a few months before the pandemic started, on my 24th birthday 😂
The one thing that I miss with the new ending is the satisfying plummet of the evil queen. That was honestly my favorite part.
bruhh im gonna miss that dark forest scene, it was so simple yet one of my favorites
RIP my skeleton brethren and the haunted forest so dope looking
Yeah they were awesome. I will never get to see them in person now :(
Walt Disney himself probably would have loved to deliver Snow White’s Enchanted Wish if the ride technology had been available to him in 1955. He LOVED the idea of technological advancement and would likely approve of the new ride. Although he was also a big supporter of the idea that ‘The riders are Snow White(POV) I think he would be won over by the fact that more of his movie is depicted on the new ride.
Its a beautiful ride, and well said! My only enchanted wish would be for it to slow down and be even longer!
I’m glad they kept the queen turning at you from the mirror! That scene always freaked me out the most and it always impressed me as well! I love the changes they made. You can tell they really did want to make it special still
I am actually really happy with the changes! That ending is beautiful and the scene of Snow White biting the apple and the mirror shattering is amazing!
I miss the skeleton, though. He was supposed to be the Huntsman who failed to kill SnowWhite.
It couldn't be him. Corpses don't get corrupted so fast! Lol
Skeleton is snow white's father
For some reason I always liked the part where snow white was climbing the stairs holding the lamp. I hate they totally got rid of the ride in MK 😔. And for a silly meet and greet at that.
Seems like they get rid of good things for not so good things a lot these days
If it's any help, I'm fairly sure they added the mine train ride in replacement of the original ride, and they included the original figures in their own little scene.
@@TakecenterStage I like they have the scenes in mine train, but sadly because of a disability, I can't do roller coasters. I am thankful there are uploaded pov's of the ride though so I can still somewhat experience it.
I remember riding it and at the ending being like "oh she's dead, happy ever after!"
That's right! Us too! lol
I can tell the ride redesign team has great respect for the history of the ride and the impact of the movie. This redesign looks perfect.
Wow this actually looks really nice. I was scared with all of the new ride additions but this one didn't disappoint.
One other change I noticed that I haven’t seen anyone talk about yet is how, when the queen’s reflection flips around in the mirror to show the witch at 0:58, you can no longer see her crown through the mirror. That was always something that bugged me from before, but it seems like they fixed the lighting in the refurb to better hide it now
I had to go back and look! You are right! Lighting improvements have been some of the most significant upgrades we have seen!
@@TheDisneylandBeat It looks like in the new version, the back of the crown is painted black so when she turns around it disappears. Additionally, the crown does not wrap around her whole head anymore so the black paint is effective. That is what it looks like to me
i thought it was just me!
The new generation of children are very lucky to witness the most mellow version of the ride. I remember when I was a kid the version of the ride I was familiar was way more darker and spooky plus snow white was only present in the ending 😂😂
I rode WDW’s likely original rendition of the ride in 1984. I was six years old at that time. When they said‘scary,’ they meant‘SCARY!!!,” especially to me as a highly sensitive kid. But, I probably rode it 2 times on that trip. Loved it each time. Was SCARED each time. Had nightmares for a year where I would mentally put the witch emerging WITH A SPOTLIGHT on her from behind the forest’s trees. I realize she popped around in the trees on the ride, but my dream-brain reorganized it so that the witch was directly in my field of vision looking exactly like she does in the movie. Still, but not a ride animatronic.
The Imagineers did a great job on the new effects! The updated version looks really good!
i never got to experience the old attraction [i did experience the disney world version and it was similar with the scary trees] but i think this is an improvement, i wish they still showed the witch's death but i'm glad they actually wrapped up the story with snow white eating the apple and waking up, and i love that they still kept the queen's transformation as a practical effect instead of replacing it with a screen
@@wrenwoodard1077 ah ok, that's good. i feel like it wouldn't really make sense if they didn't show her falling
That seems like a big improvement. It actually tells the story of Snow White.
My favorite change is adding the Dwarves in the mine.
So happy they finally finished the story and Snow White got her happy ending!
They did a much, much better job at cleaning and redoing the scenes that needed to be cleaned and redone in the first place! That’s what Disney wants for their visitors. Clean, no rides dirty and out of date on the construction and paintwork, and good customer environment
They both have their good and bad points, but I'm still kind of partial to the older version.
I like the older scarier version a bit better but the new tech updates are great. Thanks for posting.....
You bet!
Fewer sightings of the witch, the creepy forest is toned down and the skeletons in the castle are gone. That said the 2 main witch scenes are still there
Also, The witch no longer attempts to drop a rock on you (and fall to her death) but I noticed there is an animated shot of her running from the Dwarves so in this version her defeat is more implied.
The updating of the apple poisoning scene is terrific.
And as others have said the effects are generally an improvement
@@henryhanks6548 We agree it looks very nice! We were just talking about how Mr. Toad is the only courtyard ride left without a 'happy' ending. We hope the inferno room stays for a really long time!
@@TheDisneylandBeat Mr. Toad is sacred ground that needs a overseer group to make sure is stays as it. Part of the charm of Mr. Toad is the low tech feel of it, doing a lot of hi-tech updates would be like repainting the Sistine Chapel in neon colors and adding a laser light show. Hmmmm not good.....
Nice comparison vid.
Regarding the attraction though...
I have my thoughts ;) I liked that the story was complete. But I feel WDW's version told it better. Even DLP's version tells it nicely. But to the extent that the previous version was scary, this version is happy. (It's excessively happy) I may or may not have burst out laughing at the end.
I'm glad though that the story doesn't just end with a book. But I miss all of the thematic scary elements. Like Inside Out taught us - we should embrace all emotions. Some of us kids (and kids at heart) love the villains and atmospheric experiences like Halloween walk-throughs.
It’s more the entire story. This version of the ride is more the entire movie told through the ride.
The new effects are great, but I'm nonplussed that they removed the forest and the sense in which you were joining Snow White on her scary adventure. Now it's much more like you're just sitting in a cart to watch scenes from the movie. The stronger rides are the ones where you're having the adventure... It's YOU flying over Neverland, not just WATCHING Peter Pan fly over Neverland. It's not the worst change to a Disney attraction (hi Pirates of the Caribbean!) but it is definitely a tonal shift.
I agree but I would add that the effects are maybe impressive but come with a downside. All those projectors bring way to much light into the building which reveals things that should be hidden. It's a darkride, it needs darkness. Projection mapping is cool but they went all over with it. That shattering mirror is so unnecessary. And yes the forrest scene was amazing. I hope paris and tokyo keep it.
Also I hate the new mine scene. Those gems look like some cheap rgb led toys from a gift shop. And again way to bright.
@@patrickmuhlbeyer9262 for Paris i think we keep it . They don t change a lot whatever they do 😂. WE have to attend longer of 5fives years for a rubish so i don t think. And i very wish we keep it because like that all the snow white ride are différent and unique and i love that❤️😁
They should have tried to retain some of the haunted forest. I always liked the way that part of the ride felt. I think moving the rock scene earlier was good idea but did we need two rooms of Snow White and the prince?
@@drawwing completely agree!
Oh!! What a delight to experience the revised Snow White!! Sooooo excited and thrilled. Thank You!!
Miss the spooky woods
I thought I was going to not like it but I LOVE it
Tbh the new version is much brighter than the original and, as you said in a previous video, the story is more complete. Looking forward to going on it, whenever we do get to go.
Agreed. It is nice to see the west side of Fantasyland getting some love!!!
I'll really miss the forest segment, which made it the most intense of the Fantasyland rides. It scared me as a kid, but as an adult I loved it. And I'll miss those two skeletons in the lair, especially the one in the floor grate which was especially grim. Still, as much as I miss the characteristic darkness of the original I have to admit the ending is much improved, and I like how they incorporated the storybook theme, which is scattered in the line queue, into the final part of the ride. Snow White was always one of the shortest, fastest lines in the park; I wonder if that will still be the case...
The new refurbishment is honestly great, they kept the creepy elements and also added more of the original disney story to the new ride, and actually gave snow white the animatronic she deserves.
Crazy thing is I rode this right before it closed for refurbishment. Went to disneyland summer 2019 for first time. As a Disneyworld child I enjoyed it
Wow, they did a really good job on the effects! The new version feels much more indicative of an old Disney film. Well done, imagineers!
I love how the mine looks like the Disney World Snow White ride. I’m glad it has a happy ending instead of that abrupt ending.
Well it’s sad that we don’t have that forest and that scares the witch gave us, but it still looks great
Wow! Okay, that wasn't what I was expecting at all. I'm glad they didn't take the evil queen out, and there's a better ending this time!
Yea, I think they improved the ride with these updates. Much better ending to the ride and great 'current tech' updates to make smaller features pop more.
I really love what they did with this attraction
I appreciate how the left most of the backdrops the same, but added to them. I'll miss the old, but love the new.
It's honestly a great update!
So unfortunate to see the forest removed but this effects look super awesome! Cant wait to see it for myself 😁
Same here!
wow that side by side really shows the difference and the entire story...
The new improved Snow White's Enchanted Wish Ride is a lot better than the original 👍.
the imagineers did an amazing job! Personally, its hands off of Pinocchio though..!
The original was scarier, but the sudden and abrupt ending to "they all lived happily ever after" was whiplash-inducing! So jarring and abrupt. This is much better narratively.
I love so much the mine cave part and the final is marvelous.
My family is going back to Disneyland in April after about 7 years. I'm super excited to ride the redesigned ride! I rode the original version the last time I went, and it was pretty scary. This version definitely keeps some of the atmosphere of the original version in the beginning, but adds a more family friendly rendition in the second half. Super excited to experience it in April!
omg why did i tear up when snow white bit the apple & it all shattered??
So it seems that they reused the figures of the dwarves in the killing the witch scene. They're in more compact arrangement tho to make them all fit XD
My moms favorite princess is snow white , but she never cared for the ride bc she was barely in it but hopefully now she will like it 😌😌
Snow white has been my favourite princess since I can remember, but I used to be terrified to go on the ride. Happy with the changes but now a bittersweet feeling of how I will miss the creepiness then SURPRISE it's over and it's all golden ending lol 🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is so much more magical.
i love love love love this update! its so nice to see an update to make this ride much better and enjoyable
Thanks for putting together the side to side comparison and commentary! Looking forward to the revamped ride.
Big Thumbs up! Not an easy job to enhance a classic attraction, but they have made it a much more well rounded experience which gives a better narrative of the story.
It’s so much better now! Yesss!
Do you have magic hair? Magic hands? Do animals talk to you? Were you poisoned? Cursed? Kidnapped or enslaved? If I had to assume you made a deal with an underwater sea witch, where she took your voice in exchange for a pair of human legs? Have you ever had true love's kiss? Do you have daddy issues? Do people assume all your problems got solved because a big, strong man showed up? She is a princess! *vocalize*
Lol cute lol
@@MsDisneylandlover Oh, yeah, really cute. First those questions of being a princess in Ralph Breaks the Internet, and now my top ten questions for the Disney Afternoon Gang. Like that.
*Voices it in Hercule Poirot*
@@Iris_Daphne772 *shake my head in disappointment*
I remembered going on that at magic kingdom.
One of my favorite rides! Awesome video thank you. Was scared to see the new changes but the new ride looks great! I love it!
Disney World’s version of SWSA was amazing. I have never ridden any version of the Snow White ride at Disneyland, but I can’t imagine how Disney World’s rendering of Snow White’s Scary Adventures could be topped. Snow White was absent, except for an unseen song vocal by her wishing well before you entered the proper ride. It was just CREEPY and GREAT. Even as a kid, I indirectly read that on the ride the queen won the story and killed Snow White. Such a disappointment that they took down Florida’s version of the ride.
We have a video on it. The original wdw version was the scariest by far!!
Very pleased with the update.
Don't know why they removed the scary forest...but I enjoyed the new visuals and the ending scene!
I love this updated dungeon scene! Especially the apple effect. In my opinion potions are better choice than skeletons in this scene. I'm glad they removed the spiderweb in the scene where the old hag poisons the apple. Also Dwarfs' Mine scene is now better.
Most part is magical ✨💖
Im really sad the trees are gone
I miss the holographic apple!
I first went on Snow White, when I was five years old in 1985. It terrified me more than the haunted mansion or anything that whole scene with her running in. The terror trees was just not needed in the last thing you heard is the witch, screaming as she died, and then a blond painting on the wall saying, and they lived happily ever after, they also removed all the skeletons and what not and replaced them with chemistry sets. I just wrote the new one today. I like it much better.
I'm so disappointed by this I always loved the haunted Forest
It looks pretty good and nicely fleshed out! But I always enjoyed the aesthetic of the lineup of the dwarves on the cliff in the old version. They just clumped them together in the new. And from what I could tell in your previous video, they removed the touch sensitive apple at the entrance of the attraction? Or did they move it somewhere else?
Im not 100% sure about the apple, it looks like it might be gone! You are right, the entrance and reveal of the dwarves was much better before. But we do like that they were not entirely replaced. We also thrilled they slowed down the ride vehicles a bit!
i feel like they might've removed the apple because of covid, it wouldn't be safe to have people touching it, and maybe once this is all over they'll bring it back
@@memethyst That's a good point. I guess only time will tell. But I'm thinking no because they have the new book there now and it would be a bit redundant to have two of them!
@@intothesun00 was the apple separate from the book or was it attached? i've never been to disneyland so i've only seen pictures and videos... maybe they'll make a new apple? or maybe they thought it was too scary for children? but i thought it was a cool hidden detail...
@@memethyst I actually don't remember if it was attached. I agree! It's little details that I enjoy so much about Disneyland. I especially couldn't do without the characters!
Ok but the alligators used to scare the crap out of me and I’m really gonna miss them being there. The forest was my favorite part 😢
Yeah, I always thought the forest was scarier then the witch, I think because it was all in your imagination!
I like the alligator logs too. They were one of the best parts about the ride.
I cant tell if the ride desperately needed a refurbishment but im glad they did
Outstanding video. Thank you for putting these side by side.
Thanks for watching! Glad you like it!
I'm sad about the removal of the forest scene, but not too sad because it messed me up as a child, and while I wish the Witch's death scene was kept in I will admit the new ending is so much better
I think that is very well said!
I hope they never cancel the kiss scene ...or the movie itself. Don't listen to the NPCs. Listen to the true fans!
They made it even better by including new technology with movie scenes. I’m old fashioned. I love the older arguably more frightening version. But if you are going to include Snow White, the movie scenes with technology are amazing. I can’t wait to ride Snow White’s Enchanted Wish.
I didn’t want to watch this until I had seen the new one for myself. Thank you for this great side by side. I love the new one but I still think use of TVs in the attraction is a cheat. Love the new scenes and especially Dopey!
We really enjoyed the new version in person. We thought it was the brightest most colorful ride at the Fantasyland Courtyard! We liked the updates to the mine a whole lot. And the way the sparkle in the trees moved forward was really cool! Thanks for the comment Angela!
Both incredible
The way it was before is so awkward, it just ends. Like, that's it? What about the ending?? Haha.
Thank you for this!
You are welcome! It was fun to put together, thanks for watching and commenting!
The updated version is quite magical!
ya and i still watch the original and gone with the wind and so does my family and what of it!
This is amazing. Those that want to be mad about supposed "non concent" for the kiss at the end they forget that they meet at the wishing well. I guess they should have added the wishing well scene for the ride que.
Looking forward to eventually riding it. I think the last scene is a better ending, but is it a less scary ride? Not sure yet.
Very sad about not being able to see the original. It was one of the older rides I really wanted to enjoy. I still probably would like it but i wonder if there will be any old school Disney rides when I finally get there
I counted a 20 second difference. 🤩 wow 🤩
It just builds to that encounter with the witch in the castle and then just as things are getting suspenseful...a mirror in a moat starts the trend of a bunch of projection effects, books telling us what's happening instead of showing, and three endings crammed together. Way to take all the excitement out of this thing. Now it's just a book report, not an adventure.
That's look so much better
I still prefer Snow White's Scary Adventures for it's darker tone and thrilling atmosphere, since it was an alternate take of Snow White and the Seven Dwarves. It mainly focused on the Evil Queen's point of view instead of Snow White's. Now that the exterior of the attraction had been softened by being repainted, skulls removed, and some redesigns the exterior of the Evil Queens' castle became too much like Sleeping Beauty Castle's color scheme which it makes pointless. I wish Disney kept the haunted forest scene, but due to space limitations it was impossible...I'll miss Scary Adventures.
"It should not be forgotten that as a dark ride, Snow White's Adventures has never needed to concentrate on telling the 1937 movie's full story. From 1955 to 1992, all these rides (with the exception of the 1994 WDW version), have concentrated on presenting an impression on the movie's essence, instead of telling the complete story. The California 1983 version continued to be Snow White's personal nightmare, a hallucinatory voyage through iconic scenes. As the focal point of the ride remained on the scary essence, there really was no need for a proper ending. Unfortunately only a few guests understood this."
Still can’t believe that they removed Haunted Forest and the Witch’s demise. The dungeon was completely de-skeletified and having the High-ho scene being a screen placed at eye-level imho doesn’t make any sense. Snow White eating the apple in the shattering mirror at the castle feels kinda cheesy and glistening leaves during the finale is kinda overkill. The main difference between this and the original that I do like was Snow White dancing with the dwarves. Needless to say I am not really a fan of them sprinkling white sugar on top of one of Grim’s fairytales just to “appeal” to a younger demographic. The opening day version was pretty intense and all they had to do was to put a sign outside that said that the ride was scary. Also the facade having a gold nameplate and pink stones feels like it’s being softened. My review in summary is that the drastic tonal shift really sours it and makes the presentation and overall experience feel less authentic.
You're not alone. Walt wanted three types of dark ride attractions in Fantasyland: whimsical, crazy, and scary. The scary void is now wide open.
@@aaronsarchive82 I remember watching a video by Matterhorn Matt about fantasyland and in it he mentioned that the development for the fantasyland dark rides was to have:
1 be full beauty, which became Peter Pan’s Flight.
2. another be full of comedy, that became Mr.Toad’s Wild Ride.
3. the third was to be full of drama, which was Snow White and her adventures
They just removed one of the key design principles of fantasyland and it’s ride’s aesthetics. As you can tell there’s no drama in this new version whatsoever in favor of more “magic”. The 83’ version was a good improvement to the Opening Day original but this new update imho makes it the worst out of the 5 fantasyland dark rides present.
I agree! Current Disney Imagineers don't get the 1983 Fantasyland presentation at all...they ruined Snow White's attraction.
I was honestly expecting them to completely get rid of the evil queen scenes and just focus on Snow White and the light moments (like how they did the opposite when the scary MK version ran during 1971-1994 which only had the witch popping out in every scene)
