I remember going on this with my lil sister back in 1976. She must've been scared shitless because she just didn't hug me back then because we were mostly at war lol. Great ride with excellent props. Sad to hear it's gone.
I remember riding this when I was 6 years old in 1989 and crying my eyes out. Scarier than haunted mansion or anything else in the park. I went back in my late 20s and rode it again and thought… well that wasn't so bad, what was I scared of? Well, I didn't realized they'd changed the ride and toned it down from when I was a kid. And now it's gone forever.
andrey vinicius vieira Wow, I wish i could've seen that. I actually enjoyed this version of the ride, as it was very intense as a kid seeing what was going to happen next.
Especially considering when they first opened it, there were absolutely no warnings whatsoever that this was a scary ride, in fact it used to be call "snow white and her adventures"
I think she is actually saying “have the apple dearie!” Meaning she is trying to poison you by putting poison in the apples? the sound quality sounds like my GoPro after I put it in the pool so idk what she is saying lol
HAVE MERCY!! Did they really expect children to ride this?? If I rode this as a child I would be scared shitless! When I was 12 I got scared of the new version lol
I went on this when I was four, and I was freaking out the whole time; I was in tears when I got off of it. When I was 21, I decided to brave it again...only to discover they'd replaced it with the phoned-in version; I...really don't think either version really captured Snow White properly, and the former version is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too existentialist. I know what they were going for, but...who's honestly gonna figure it out? I'm almost 32 now, and watching it again...it just feels like overkill. I even had nightmares from my memories of the ride years later; dead serious.
She doesn't try to kill you, she SUCCEEDS. Note the explosion of starbursts in the room right after you go under the giant gem. That's Disney's way of saying "You have been murdered by an evil hag who split your skull with a giant diamond. Please step out to your left."
mildmannrdreprtr "Step out to your left, please. When the car stops, step out to your left." I heard that a lot on my vacation in 1995 to Disney World, like on Mr. Toad and Peter Pan.
I rode this in 1990 I believe, so I was around 8, when it was still this version of the ride, and I never expected it to be really scary because it was Snow White after all . We went in the middle of a sweltering Florida summer so to go from bright sunlight into this ride was disorienting right from the start, then watching the witch pop out at every available turn, especially the last part where the witch asks if we enjoyed the ride, I about peed my pants.
The creepiest thing about this for me is how the animatronics get way too close and how the camera is something that would probably be used in a horror setting, since it's so old.
Yeah i agree with ya friend. That old disney ride back then was appsalotley the worst and it's the complete opposite of the original Walt Disney's Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs full length animated feature film classic of all time ever!
No offense but you do realize the original concept of this ride thru Walt Disney was that the guest was the main character in the movie. In this dark ride you WERE Snow White with the wicked stepmother chasing after you and trying to kill you. Peter Pan's flight had a similar concept as well.
The most sadistic in all this is the passage of the house of the dwarves, you see it ,you FINALLY see something reassuring ... And when the door opens everything is cold, dead and furniture looks traumatized.
I remember going on this ride as a 4 year old kid in the early 80's with my grandparents. I was so scared I cried. We went back a few years later and I reused to get on it. My younger cousin also came off crying lol
I miss this original version. It was more like the old ride-thru spook houses that were at every traditional amusement park for ages. They made great use of complete darkness with creepy things popping out at you while your little car twisted & turned around very sharp corners. A lot of them were found at seaside boardwalk-type parks like Coney Island or Wildwood. This version really captures the tone of those old spook houses.
Really? The one in Disneyland? Or is it DisneyWorld that closed? Cause i know i read it was replaced with A Disney Princess get together for kids or the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train roller coaster??
My father went to Disneyland when he was ten and remembers a sign on the outside of the ride, warning that it may scare children. He was terrified to go on the ride, but his parents insisted. He remembers vaguely what occurred... so I showed this video to him, and he was shocked, considering (or I'm fairly sure), that this ride was in with the kiddie rides in the park.
If I had to count the number of times I saw the wicked witch in this video pop out of nowhere with an apple in her hand yelling, "EEEE HAHAHAHA".... ....I'd be richer than Walt himself, lol.
😂😂😂😂 I know it is scary but I laughed at it at the same time like I wanna say STOP LOOKING AT WHOEVER YOUR CRUSH IS IN THIS RIDE, GET ANOTHER HOBBY what she's doing can eventually cause her SOAR THROAT or DRY COUGH but anyway THE REGRET COMES LAST and never BEFORE. Now look at the NEW ride, and you'll see what I mean. Hope she's learned her lessons 😂
yeah it is fun but apparently disney will change things to please the young kids and families that go there, so the fact it lasted 23 years was amazing itself. i didnt see tokyo version , ill look at that.
The mine train ride is really coo, but they're different...If I want a roller coaster I will go to Cedar Point or one of the many amusement parks that have thrill rides. Dark rides have so much more story and still keeps you engaged..Plus you don't need as much space for these rides.
I remember all my preschool friends warned me about this one. So when I went on the toned down ride in 1993 I wasn't sure what they'd been so afraid of. But yeah, this original version would've terrified me. Still, I'll miss it.
cruzcamel Same about the preschool thing, except I was in first grade! I guess they rode the updated version that added Snow White and wasn't as scary, though, because I went in 1995. The ride was updated in 1994, FTFY.
The imagineers said the reason why you don't see Snow White in the ride is because YOU are Snow White, you are seeing her point of veiw in the story. No wonder she looked liked she is drunk from carbon monoxide homegirl went through all of that 😂😂
I rode this ride in 1993 when I was only 5 years old. The wicked witch was so scary to me. I could not stop yelling whenever she popped up. But the final room with the stars was so pretty. I liked that room. By the time I went back in 2000 as a 12 year old, it had already been refurbished. To this day, I still prefer that original.
InvaderPet Can we take a moment to notice she says "I am the fairest one of all!" when she's an ugly hag? I've seen the movie, and it was made pretty clear she was going to transform back after killing Snow White and THEN she'd be the fairest one of all. She wouldn't be it as soon as she becomes the witch.
wow...I understand that kids need to see scary things, and not everything is rainbows. But this is like a fever dream. I'd imagine some kids would be traumatized.....let's have the queen kill them. What a good idea!
The queen is like a demon that give you strange drugs that make you see really dark, surreal things. The trees are her henchmen from hell. Then you get impaled in the head with a large diamond of crystal meth and you die from overdose.
LOL I am glad to be able to compare this to the updated cheery version here on TH-cam. I rode this in 1990 at Disney World, and when I saw the cheerier more well lighted version here on the rides videos, I was like What The Heck? That's not what I remember. This is terrifying and I remember getting off this ridw with my 6 foot three male friend and both of us going " That's a kids ride? CRAP!"
Fun Fact: This was designed by an Imagineer who had also wanted to make The Haunted Mansion darker than it ended up being! I wonder if he also designed Mr. Toad's Wild Ride...?
My parents laughed cos they thought it was hilarious how scared I was of this ride, I still think this was scary as hell and I forgive my 6 year old self for hiding throughout most of the ride and not sitting upright :P
Out of all the Snow White rides in the Disney Parks (open or closed) Snow White 1971-1994 is my favorite. It's actually my favorite Fantasyland-style dark ride.
Yes man! Same 100% I love how creepy this one is for the little kiddies. Really hammers in the message of be a good person and stay away from strangers
Imagine working on the sound design of this ride and thinking "hey you know what would be awesome? What if there was no music and you could only hear howling wind and distant screaming? Yeah."
This was the one I rode. I was really young at the time, and after that one, we had to go back because I wouldn't stop crying. Snow White's scary adventures? More like Evil Queen's nightmare fuel!
I find it ironic that in the Disneyland Version, the Witch gets killed. But in the now closed original Magic Kingdom Version, your the one that gets killed.
I would've loved it if it were still around in 1995. My neighbor taught me not to be scared of anything via the TV shows she showed me. Can you say Ren and Stimpy, 1970s episodes of Saturday Night Live, and Beavis & Butt-Head?
I am 32 and I will NEVER forget the first time I rode this as a kid. It scared the shit out of me! I remember covering my eyes most of the ride because the damn queen kept popping out. As I got older, I was able to ride it without covering my eyes but it still scared me! I think what disturbed me most was that the queen kills you at the end. LOL
excuse me Thats too bad , I would have killed to go to Disney World as a kid and would have loved this ride. I first went in 1991 but was unaware of the greatness of this ride. I am sorry I missed it.
This is scarier than most haunted houses I've been on. There's no soundtrack through most of it other than wind, screams, and the evil witch cackling. There's plenty of jump scares where she pops up or runs toward the riders. It's like you're in a horror movie being chased by this malevolent, supernatural entity trying to kill you. I've never seen such horrifying trees in my life. Even in the dwarves' home, they're scared, the animals are scared, and even the furniture is scared! The ending is a very "haunted house" one where it seems the witch wins by making the diamond fall on you, with no "happy ending". On top of that, the old Disney, analog, plastic feel of everything makes it especially uncanny. This VHS recording also adds to the creepiness. I'm actually glad they rethemed this ride. It followed the story of the movie more closely, still had the cool mirror reveal of the queen turning into the witch, and had a happy ending that leaves the riders on a high note. Yes, the original movie had some creepy parts, but nothing like the nightmare fuel of this version.
God damn! That's exactly how I remember that ride as a little kid in the late 70s and early 80s. That wicked witch would be laughing the whole ride and just popping up all over the place. The memories were so traumatic, that the last time I went to Disneyland in 2002, I was silently dreading going on that ride. But to my surprise, they had toned down the scary aspects of the ride and the witch didn't turn around from her mirror which was one of the scariest moments for me. LOL
I cant remember which one I rode or when they "updated" (went to at age 5 in 1993-1994) but I remember being absolutely 10000000% terrified on it. I cried so hard.
The most unsettling part imo is that even the cottage is scary. It feels like going into an abandoned amusement park and finding old animatronics. I’m glad they updated it to actually be about Snow White lol
I'm glad you noted your video was the "original" ride because I watched another version and was like, ".....ok, I know I was like 7 the last time I rode this, but I SWEAR the witch was trying push a big green gem onto the car, not a rock..." Thanks for clearing up my self-doubt!
I don’t remember when they did the refurbishment but I remember back in 1999 being 4 years old crying my eyes out... this brought back trauma I thought I’d never come across again. Lol
I was 2 when this was taken. When I went, it was a year after they updated to the less scarier version. However, they still used Snow White's Adventures then; it was when I went in 1999 they added the word "scary."
"Hey should we make the ride called The Haunted Mansion the scariest ride in the park?" "No let's make it eerie but fun. We should make the ride based on Snow White the real horror attraction!"
THAT WAS FOR KIDS??? I am 28 and would be freaked out on that ride. Hell, I was getting on edge watching the video. As a kid? I would be catatonic, due to my fear (which I still have to a much lesser extent)of being near audio-animatronics.
The fact this isn’t the scariest version of the ride either is wildd, supposedly in the 55’ version the all trees used to look and move where your vehicle was 😭😭
Imagine sending your kids on this ride thinking it's going to be harmless. Then they get off and you ask them did you enjoy the ride? And they're like, NOPE!!!!!
Lots of comments about how scary this was, but it was also awesome. First rode it when I was four years old and I loved it. The updated version was good but this version was superior.
I love how this ride is 98% evil witch and 2% 7 dwarfs. You don’t even see Snow White or hear any of the happy songs in the film. It’s all these evil laughing and the entire set feels like it was hacked by Blair witch. Some uncanny valley snow white. I would have loved this ride.
It’s a very nice twist on the formula. People say stuff like ‘yeah but it’s a bad version because it’s inaccurate to the movie’ but I’m like… why would you want it to be accurate to the movie? Wouldn’t that make it more predictable and boring?
I gotta give props for whoever is operating the camera. All the major beats are in frame just long enough for the audio to be clear, while also swinging around a bit to be disorienting and hiding parts of the ride we're supposed to not look at.
They used to have more fake fog pumped into that ride, when I was a kid my friend had an asthma attack and couldn't breathe in there until medical personnel got him an inhaler. He had to endure the entire ride unable to breathe, and my mom and I were panicking. The witch seemed even more terrifying as she'd emerge from behind the fog like something out of a horror movie.

Now THIS is a dark ride
LOLOLOLOL
LLLLLLLLLLLLLLOLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
😂
DARK as fuck
they really took “dark ride” to a whole new level
The imagineers who designed this version of the ride must've really hated children.
IKR??? You were acting snow white on the original version
At least they made an excellent ride, lol
those were great imagineers back in the day, this was truly frighteining kids ride
I agree it was way to scary for young children.
I remember going on this with my lil sister back in 1976. She must've been scared shitless because she just didn't hug me back then because we were mostly at war lol. Great ride with excellent props. Sad to hear it's gone.
The fact that there’s no music, just howling wind and the evil witch’s laugh is terrifying enough.
Ikr?? Riding this with your eyes closed would be just as scary
And almost pitch black. It's more like a ghost train.
I loved this ride as a kid! I loved the fantasy of being terrified as Snow White would have experienced it if this was real.
Why did they make this scary as hell?
@@JakeTheComicBookDudethe Imagineers who made this were the same people who did the Haunted Mansion.
Could you imagine having to evacuate off this thing?!
It's better then staying on it...
Moozler I did once and it was so awesome
IKR
@@mtrudo Was it as scary as being on the track??
“Nobody panic, but everything on the ride has stopped working. Except for the witch animatronics”
I remember riding this when I was 6 years old in 1989 and crying my eyes out. Scarier than haunted mansion or anything else in the park. I went back in my late 20s and rode it again and thought… well that wasn't so bad, what was I scared of? Well, I didn't realized they'd changed the ride and toned it down from when I was a kid.

The haunted mansion ain't nothin! This is scarier than the Tower of Terror!
Actually they redesigned it in 1982.
RWDS What was it like before 1982?
i think it was like frickin´ hell on earth.
andrey vinicius vieira Wow, I wish i could've seen that. I actually enjoyed this version of the ride, as it was very intense as a kid seeing what was going to happen next.
Snow White's Fever Dream could have also worked as the ride's name.

Ha. Ha. Ha.
@@danirankin6130 I shall now hunt for this ride information.
Yes Marth. Yes it could.
Why on earth did the small animals in the cottage have to look scary too?!
RIGHT?! Even the furniture’s eyes would have scared me witless, had I rode this as a kid.
thats actually what scared me the most
Those living trees are probably the most eerie for me, and get way to close up
@@madelinequinn5879 I was scared of the skeletons crying, "help! Uh!"
InvaderPet it’s just a bunch of jump scares loud noises and scary faces. And I love it.
This had to be Walt Disney's greatest attempt at trolling
Anson Williams It’s genius!
It seriously scared the shit out of me as a kid.
Especially considering when they first opened it, there were absolutely no warnings whatsoever that this was a scary ride, in fact it used to be call "snow white and her adventures"
That's why they're evil.
Walt died before this was made, since this was at disney world
scarier than some haunted houses, dang
What a thoughtful response well done
Scarier than the haunted mansion that’s for sure.
yes
When Disney land was lit
We miss you 😭😭😭😭😭
I hate when rides go away and there’s no footage, losing them to history forever. You are a hero
when she said “goodbye dearie”, i felt that
Why is she calling me "dearie"?
Yuuki Takemoto because you are in the position of Snow White so now we know what would’ve happened If the evil queen won
@@heavenseyes1211 I don't want a creepy old woman calling me "dearie." FBI OPEN UP!
I think she is actually saying “have the apple dearie!” Meaning she is trying to poison you by putting poison in the apples? the sound quality sounds like my GoPro after I put it in the pool so idk what she is saying lol
@@iamsimplyjustalittleguy she says goodbye dearie at the very end, when she drops the gemstone on you
I’m a grown 20 year old woman and those trees literally gave me CHILLS I could never ride this even now😭😭
I am 20 as well, and this ride scared tf outta me when I was 5…. Especially the witch.
You’re still a kid (or young).
I’m 25 and it left my mouth agape.. like holy smokes nahhh 💀
I remember this ride TERRIFYING me when I was a kid...I don't blame myself
Also those exact trees lunged at you and rotated in your direction
okay, the witch kills you in the Snow White ride, you're sent to Hell in Mr. Toad's ride, how is Fantasyland the "happiest land of all" again?
Dragonrider1227 It wasn't.
That makes it more exciting!
fantasyland cant have anything scary?

it's just weird XD
how old are you? you prefer mine train?

KingRandor82 I can see why you had nightmares.
You wanna talk about a scary ride? Look up Alien Encounter before they switched it out for Stitch.
Bailey Ligan i agree that scared the shit out of me as a kid!
sakume I had no problem on that. My neighbor told me how it worked and that it was all effects.
She doesn't try to kill you, she SUCCEEDS. Note the explosion of starbursts in the room right after you go under the giant gem. That's Disney's way of saying "You have been murdered by an evil hag who split your skull with a giant diamond. Please step out to your left."
mildmannrdreprtr "Step out to your left, please. When the car stops, step out to your left." I heard that a lot on my vacation in 1995 to Disney World, like on Mr. Toad and Peter Pan.
The starbursts could also represent waking up from a dream.
Again, I didn't know English that well, so I thought the stars were just pretty.
Brutal!
I thought the flashes were a representation of people taking pictures of you lol
This version of the ride is terrifying, but it doesn't have the witch yelling EAt dUh APpLe!!!
Ayyyy this guy Bosh
Heh, yeah. At least the newer one did. Uuuuuuntil they took it down
One of the oldest pics I have of myself is me with my mom and dad after I rode this. I was hysterically crying and they look so concerned.
I rode this in 1990 I believe, so I was around 8, when it was still this version of the ride, and I never expected it to be really scary because it was Snow White after all .

Really? The one in Disneyland? Or is it DisneyWorld that closed? Cause i know i read it was replaced with A Disney Princess get together for kids or the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train roller coaster??

@@heavenseyes1211 They are drastically different versions. Florida's updated version that ran from late 1994 until 2012 was closer to Disneyland's.

....I'd be richer than Walt himself, lol.
@Tenshi Harris That's actually a myth.

Now look at the NEW ride, and you'll see what I mean. Hope she's learned her lessons 😂
Probably, considering that Walt never had a ton of money to his name. I believe he went bankrupt at least twice.
Seems more like a psychological fear inhibitor than a ride, this was seriously not designed for kids.
would you guys prefer this or the 7 dwarfs mine train if you had to pick?>
you prefer the dark rides? those rides wont last because parents and kids complain about how scary and dark it is
yeah it is fun but apparently disney will change things to please the young kids and families that go there, so the fact it lasted 23 years was amazing itself. i didnt see tokyo version , ill look at that.
The mine train ride is really coo, but they're different...If I want a roller coaster I will go to Cedar Point or one of the many amusement parks that have thrill rides.
Dark rides have so much more story and still keeps you engaged..Plus you don't need as much space for these rides.
Green Raptor Studios lmfaooooooo that’s the beauty of it
1:20 if you looked at this while riding, how are you supposed to know it's furniture? It looks like a dead dwarf.
Ed_ward It’s brilliant. If it had been left in all its terrifying dead dwarf, witch busting glory it would have been uniquely amazing.
Wait, that wasnt a dead dwarf?
Nostalgic Storm Waver that face is me after seeing this
Ed_ward The furniture was meant to look like it was alive/had faces for a scary effect
That thing you thought was a Dead Dwarf was actually in the 1994 version too, but it was put next to the animals and doesn’t face you.
came to check this out after hearing about this ride on a podcast and holy shit they weren’t wrong this would have scarred me as a child
Which podcast was it?
I know that this ride is suppose to be from the point of view of snow white, but whoever rode this as a child.....you are definitely one tough cookie.

katrp_ Wow everyone gets annoyed easily. It was a really fun scary ride
"okay good, i think we're safe from th-"
"eeAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH"
*"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"*
@Quirky Kiwi Queen Or Sarah Palin.
Omg this ride never gives the riders a break. You don’t have enough time to calm down after one jumpscare before you bump into the next one.
Even the furniture in the Dwarf's cottage is terrified
What. The. Heck. Did I just "ride"?
Your pfp
Ik what that's from
1:51 When the Queen asks ironically "Enjoy your ride?!" and laughs it makes the ride even more creepy...
Fun Fact: This was designed by an Imagineer who had also wanted to make The Haunted Mansion darker than it ended up being! I wonder if he also designed Mr. Toad's Wild Ride...?
Given that Mr.Toad literally traverses through HELL in the ride like Dante, I would say he did.
Claude Coats?
I like the sweet voice at the end says calmly step out to ur left after all the horror u just endured
My parents laughed cos they thought it was hilarious how scared I was of this ride, I still think this was scary as hell and I forgive my 6 year old self for hiding throughout most of the ride and not sitting upright :P
"I'm a brave boy!"
*ride starts*
"...Not a brave enough boy for this!"
Imagine going on this while your peaking on acid lmaoo
I'm shook she said "mirror mirror on the wall" instead of "magic mirror on the wall"
Ella Olsen omg even Disney got it wrong
Exactly!
Yea today’s ride version the line and presentation is a lot better
Out of all the Snow White rides in the Disney Parks (open or closed) Snow White 1971-1994 is my favorite. It's actually my favorite Fantasyland-style dark ride.
Yes man! Same 100% I love how creepy this one is for the little kiddies. Really hammers in the message of be a good person and stay away from strangers
Imagine working on the sound design of this ride and thinking "hey you know what would be awesome? What if there was no music and you could only hear howling wind and distant screaming? Yeah."
Nostalgia Critic: "You know... for kids!"
Me: Um.... THIS is a CHILDREN'S attraction?
Screw that hack.
I recall that when the folks had taken me to WDW back in 1972 and I was 6 years old this ride scared me.
That quote is actually from Hudsucker Proxy 😁
Nah, Mr. Toad's Wild Ride sent you to HELL!
a FAMILY picture! Uh, I mean, ride...
This was the one I rode. I was really young at the time, and after that one, we had to go back because I wouldn't stop crying. Snow White's scary adventures? More like Evil Queen's nightmare fuel!
I find it ironic that in the Disneyland Version, the Witch gets killed. But in the now closed original Magic Kingdom Version, your the one that gets killed.
A true lost treasure. This was the best version.
(steps out to the right)
Absolute madlad
I don't know why, but I just love this version of the ride loool
Me too
but im scared! lol
Laugh out out out loud
I would've loved it if it were still around in 1995. My neighbor taught me not to be scared of anything via the TV shows she showed me. Can you say Ren and Stimpy, 1970s episodes of Saturday Night Live, and Beavis & Butt-Head?
Agreed
The poor quality makes it ten times creepier.
I screamed and cried my eyes out on this when I was 7. Next time I went to Disney I was 14, and I screamed and cried my eyes out on this
I am 32 and I will NEVER forget the first time I rode this as a kid. It scared the shit out of me! I remember covering my eyes most of the ride because the damn queen kept popping out. As I got older, I was able to ride it without covering my eyes but it still scared me! I think what disturbed me most was that the queen kills you at the end. LOL
When I was a kid I liked that snow white. was a scary ride,that's why I rode it ,the good old days now that I'm 60
I had to see a therapist for months after my parents nagged me to go on this.
excuse me Thats too bad , I would have killed to go to Disney World as a kid and would have loved this ride. I first went in 1991 but was unaware of the greatness of this ride. I am sorry I missed it.
Mike R OMFG -_-
@@MichaelRei99 I would have loved this too, seeing how I loved Alien Encounter.
This is scarier than most haunted houses I've been on. There's no soundtrack through most of it other than wind, screams, and the evil witch cackling. There's plenty of jump scares where she pops up or runs toward the riders. It's like you're in a horror movie being chased by this malevolent, supernatural entity trying to kill you. I've never seen such horrifying trees in my life. Even in the dwarves' home, they're scared, the animals are scared, and even the furniture is scared! The ending is a very "haunted house" one where it seems the witch wins by making the diamond fall on you, with no "happy ending". On top of that, the old Disney, analog, plastic feel of everything makes it especially uncanny. This VHS recording also adds to the creepiness.
I'm actually glad they rethemed this ride. It followed the story of the movie more closely, still had the cool mirror reveal of the queen turning into the witch, and had a happy ending that leaves the riders on a high note. Yes, the original movie had some creepy parts, but nothing like the nightmare fuel of this version.
This ride scared me so much as a kid. Who thought this was a good idea for a ride?! It still creeps me out watching it.
+PrinceJosh1992 and the Japanese don't seem to complain about their children pissing their pants while on the ride. :P
disney imagineers back in 60s and 1970
Happy 50th to this insane ride.
Those damn trees, they'd traumatize anyone at any age!
God damn! That's exactly how I remember that ride as a little kid in the late 70s and early 80s. That wicked witch would be laughing the whole ride and just popping up all over the place. The memories were so traumatic, that the last time I went to Disneyland in 2002, I was silently dreading going on that ride. But to my surprise, they had toned down the scary aspects of the ride and the witch didn't turn around from her mirror which was one of the scariest moments for me. LOL
i remember going on this as a kid, i was somewhat scared but it ended up becoming my favorite ride lol. still slightly upset it was taken down
I cant remember which one I rode or when they "updated" (went to at age 5 in 1993-1994) but I remember being absolutely 10000000% terrified on it. I cried so hard.
The most unsettling part imo is that even the cottage is scary. It feels like going into an abandoned amusement park and finding old animatronics. I’m glad they updated it to actually be about Snow White lol
This is the one I remember. I also remember seeing the wooden arches shake, as if they're about to fall on you.
I remember riding this version in 1988 I was 12 at the time and it scared the shit out of me.
2:22 Nostalgia Critic: "MOMMY!!!!! THAT WAS SCARY AS FUCK!"
The trees are what I would HATE getting stuck on. Jesus christ those are the most terrifying to look at!
Imagineers: “alright fellers how many unnessecary jumpscares you want in this kid’s right?”
Also imagineers: “yes”
I rode this in 1978 when I was 4 years old. I can’t believe my parents did that to me.
I'm glad you noted your video was the "original" ride because I watched another version and was like, ".....ok, I know I was like 7 the last time I rode this, but I SWEAR the witch was trying push a big green gem onto the car, not a rock..."
Thanks for clearing up my self-doubt!
MattBurosh Were you scared? Did you enjoy the part where you see stars? I know I would've loved that.
I don’t remember when they did the refurbishment but I remember back in 1999 being 4 years old crying my eyes out... this brought back trauma I thought I’d never come across again. Lol
Imagine this being your first Disney ride-
It was definitely mine, what a terrible mistake. But I miss the ride a lot
I was 2 when this was taken. When I went, it was a year after they updated to the less scarier version. However, they still used Snow White's Adventures then; it was when I went in 1999 they added the word "scary."
dude oh my god this was a nightmare the entire way through 😂 it’s so cool to be able to see a piece of history like this
"Hey should we make the ride called The Haunted Mansion the scariest ride in the park?"
"No let's make it eerie but fun. We should make the ride based on Snow White the real horror attraction!"
THAT WAS FOR KIDS??? I am 28 and would be freaked out on that ride. Hell, I was getting on edge watching the video. As a kid? I would be catatonic, due to my fear (which I still have to a much lesser extent)of being near audio-animatronics.
+Madeline Corzine It wasn't just for kids. It was for everyone.
***** Don't make this discussion about 100% pure, unrefined internet-cancer.
If you have a fear of audio animatronics, don't ride "Blazing Fury" at Dollywood in TN. Those things are creepy, man!
Moira Deel She's laughing.
Would you freak if you were near the Cyborg animatronic on Justice League: Battle for Metropolis at Six Flags?
I like how she just randomly comes out of nowhere
The fact this isn’t the scariest version of the ride either is wildd, supposedly in the 55’ version the all trees used to look and move where your vehicle was 😭😭
Imagine sending your kids on this ride thinking it's going to be harmless. Then they get off and you ask them did you enjoy the ride? And they're like, NOPE!!!!!
Wow. My mother used to talk about how terrifying the original was! I would not have been able to do this as a young lad lol.
Lots of comments about how scary this was, but it was also awesome. First rode it when I was four years old and I loved it. The updated version was good but this version was superior.
I love how this ride is 98% evil witch and 2% 7 dwarfs. You don’t even see Snow White or hear any of the happy songs in the film. It’s all these evil laughing and the entire set feels like it was hacked by Blair witch. Some uncanny valley snow white. I would have loved this ride.
It’s a very nice twist on the formula. People say stuff like ‘yeah but it’s a bad version because it’s inaccurate to the movie’ but I’m like… why would you want it to be accurate to the movie? Wouldn’t that make it more predictable and boring?
It's so sad that this attraction at Walt Disney World closed. 😭
I gotta give props for whoever is operating the camera. All the major beats are in frame just long enough for the audio to be clear, while also swinging around a bit to be disorienting and hiding parts of the ride we're supposed to not look at.
My parents took us on this first thing because it was the shortest line. We didn't want to go on anything else after this haha
rode this as a little kid back in the early 70's and cried cried cried! wish I could do it again!
They used to have more fake fog pumped into that ride, when I was a kid my friend had an asthma attack and couldn't breathe in there until medical personnel got him an inhaler. He had to endure the entire ride unable to breathe, and my mom and I were panicking. The witch seemed even more terrifying as she'd emerge from behind the fog like something out of a horror movie.
Oh my God, that must SUCK!!
I remember the fake fog.
Oooh my gosh I’m so sorry for your friend!! :( hope they were okay.

This is basically Grimes fairy tales version using the Disney based characters
I feel bad for all the kids who went on this terrifying ride all those years ago. If I'd been around back then, and if I went on this version of the ride, I probably would've crapped myself!
People say youre seeing this ride perspective as Snow White damn is this what she was seeing in that coma she was in?! Disney wild lol
It's her nightmare
This was drastically better than the later version! I wish I got to ride this but it was dumbed down before I was born :(
One of my earliest memories is crying my eyes out on this ride. I was 4 or 5 years old :)
Damn. What sick human being would approve a ride like this for kids?? 😬😱
