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"
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.
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
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.
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.
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 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.
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??
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 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.
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.
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.
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 😂
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 😂😂
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.
Keep in mind, this was back when it was only called "Snow White's Adventures" no "scary" in the title, no warning in the queue. So most kids riding this back in the day had no idea what they were in for.
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
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...?
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 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!
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.
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 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.
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
God damn! That's exactly how I remember that right 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 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
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!"
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.
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
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.

And then the whole family had nightmares for a whole year and still have nightmares about it every once in a while! And they lived “happily” every after! The end! (Witch laugh)
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.
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.
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."
This version of the ride was absolutely genius, as it seems to focus a lot more on the impact of the movie on a generation than the plot of the movie itself. You're in the position of Snow White in a warped version of events, perhaps a nightmare where the queen and everything is hellbent to only kill you. You are now a part of the extremely emotionally charged aesthetics and setting of the movie, it's a thrill. The other versions of the ride are a disappointment. If I wanted to witness the movie's plot from a safe warm perspective, I'll watch the bloody movie. They really don't make em' like this anymore.
I like this sentiment, my fellow. A little bit of the Magic Kingdom died when they watered down Snow White. Fantasyland dark rides should never be one-for-one retreads of their respective films, as a themed dark ride is such a unique and novel format that it's a tragedy to not actually take proper advantage of it and be at least somewhat original. There's not even a vague chance that something as creative and brilliant as Mr. Toad's Wild Ride, for example, ever could have come out of the Iger era, and I seriously doubt this current CEO will encourage anything of the sort either. The current Disney park motto is, "If it isn't safe, cute, and devoid of all creativity, then it's unmarketable and alien and bad." I can't tell you how much I despise this, but that's just the way it is now.
"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!"
Listen to the background... Terrifying. Just the witches laughter, static, screaming and other disturbing distorted sounds. This ride is clearly not made for kids. It shouldnt start so happy and stuff with singing and bright colors and legit call it "Snow White's adventure" This is freaking TERRIFYING. Imagine being a kid and going on this ride thinking its a fun ride with lots of bright colors and nice songs inside and this is the nightmare you get. I can't even imagine.. I honestly feel bad for any kid that went on this ride. It should be called "Snow White's Horror Show" tbh... Like- It's dark, theres creepy uncanny animatronics, jumpscares every 5 seconds causing constant anxiety, Terrifying and disturbing imagery- for example: The skeletons, The creepy uncanny furniture, The evil queen/witch, the trees especially... The feeling that you cant get out and dont know when it will end is even worse!!! With all the sounds in the backround, too. I might be overreacting but whoever made this ride and said its for kids is freaking sick in the brain. This is the most disturbing shit I've seen. My mom rode it as a kid and said it didn't scare her, which I don't really understand. Heck, I think I can even hear some cries and screams from kids in the background. And when the first jumpscare at the mirror happend i think a kid said "WHY DID IT DO THAT!?" Qhile in the middle of crying because they're probably now scared ro death, thinking it'd be a fun ride and now burying their face it their moms lap and covering their ears. Messed up.
The ride wasn't called Snow Whites "Adventure" like the Disneyland version. This one was called Snow Whites SCARY Adventure. A clear sign the ride was a scary dark ride. There were signs everywhere warning parents not to let small children ride. What's really messed up is they did anyway. Then those Karens complained and eventually got the ride redesigned though they were clearly warned.
@@Hervinbalfour This was the first video I watched of it, but after further research... They didn't have any signs at first. They put a sign warning parents that it "may not be suitable for young children", but originally, it didn't. So without the sign, everyone thought it was for small kids and that it wouldn't REALLY be scary.
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 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!
This is FANTASTIC! Why did they change it? Why did they have to add Snow White, the original concept for the ride was that you were Snow White with the wicked stepmother chasing after you and trying to kill you. What a great ride
Because, with the exception of Mr. Toad's Wild Ride, very few guests understood the concept that *you* were Snow White; the same applied for Peter Pan's Flight.
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

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.
Now THIS is a dark ride
LOLOLOLOL
LLLLLLLLLLLLLLOLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

they really took “dark ride” to a whole new level
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”

Scarier than the haunted mansion that’s for sure.

Walt died before this was made, since this was at disney world
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 version of the ride is terrifying, but it doesn't have the witch yelling EAt dUh APpLe!!!
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.

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.

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.
In Disneyland the line is "magic mirror on the wall, with this disguise I'll FOOL them all" which makes more sense
I noticed it and I’m late to this comment cuz my channel was made last year
@@MarthaRoseQuartz The line is just for shock value
"I'm a brave boy!"
*ride starts*
"...Not a brave enough boy for this!"
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
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.
Keep in mind, this was back when it was only called "Snow White's Adventures" no "scary" in the title, no warning in the queue. So most kids riding this back in the day had no idea what they were in for.
Even the furniture in the Dwarf's cottage is terrified
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.
The poor quality makes it ten times creepier.
Imagine going on this while your peaking on acid lmaoo
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
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 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 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!
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!
Yep, this ride gave me nightmares when I was little.
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.
Cyber Corpse lmao
It’s not scary for me
(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
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 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
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
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
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.
Imagine this being your first Disney ride-
It was definitely mine, what a terrible mistake. But I miss the ride a lot
God damn! That's exactly how I remember that right 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
Happy 50th to this insane ride.
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 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 like how she just randomly comes out of nowhere
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!"
A true lost treasure. This was the best version.
It's so sad that this attraction at Walt Disney World closed. 😭
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.
Imagineers: “alright fellers how many unnessecary jumpscares you want in this kid’s right?”
Also imagineers: “yes”
Those damn trees, they'd traumatize anyone at any age!
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
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.
I like the sweet voice at the end says calmly step out to ur left after all the horror u just endured
experiencing this as a child is why i’m obsessed with horror today
I remember riding this version in 1988 I was 12 at the time and it scared the shit out of me.
Thank you for sharing. The dating of this would literally be within a year of when I first rode this ride as a child. Yes, it did leave some memories.
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.

This is the one I remember. I also remember seeing the wooden arches shake, as if they're about to fall on you.
Parents:Bobby, Sarah, want to go on Snow White’s ride?
Kids:Yes!
Sarah:I can’t wait to see the pretty trees!
Bobby:I can’t wait to see the cute animals!
Parents:Okay, let’s go!
(Ride Starts)
(Ride Ends)
Kids:(Come out crying)I never want to see Snow White or go on another ride every again!
Parents:Well that was a mistake.
And then the whole family had nightmares for a whole year and still have nightmares about it every once in a while!
And they lived “happily” every after!
The end!
(Witch laugh)
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 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.
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."
I rode this in 1978 when I was 4 years old. I can’t believe my parents did that to me.
This version of the ride was absolutely genius, as it seems to focus a lot more on the impact of the movie on a generation than the plot of the movie itself.
You're in the position of Snow White in a warped version of events, perhaps a nightmare where the queen and everything is hellbent to only kill you. You are now a part of the extremely emotionally charged aesthetics and setting of the movie, it's a thrill.
The other versions of the ride are a disappointment. If I wanted to witness the movie's plot from a safe warm perspective, I'll watch the bloody movie. They really don't make em' like this anymore.
I love your avatar!
I like this sentiment, my fellow. A little bit of the Magic Kingdom died when they watered down Snow White. Fantasyland dark rides should never be one-for-one retreads of their respective films, as a themed dark ride is such a unique and novel format that it's a tragedy to not actually take proper advantage of it and be at least somewhat original.
There's not even a vague chance that something as creative and brilliant as Mr. Toad's Wild Ride, for example, ever could have come out of the Iger era, and I seriously doubt this current CEO will encourage anything of the sort either. The current Disney park motto is, "If it isn't safe, cute, and devoid of all creativity, then it's unmarketable and alien and bad." I can't tell you how much I despise this, but that's just the way it is now.
@@goatprince1 That's why S.I.R. could only be a product of the Eisner era, and wouldn't last a chance today.
Yes! That's one of the best episodes of that show!@@YuukiTakemoto1996
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
wow she kills you at the end what a crazy children's ride!
Look up Alien Encounter... watch the preshow for that.
@@YuukiTakemoto1996 Don’t have to. I experienced the trauma of that ride as a child lol
The trees are what I would HATE getting stuck on. Jesus christ those are the most terrifying to 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
"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!"
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
2:22 Nostalgia Critic: "MOMMY!!!!! THAT WAS SCARY AS FUCK!"
1:20 is me at the beginning and end of 2020
Listen to the background... Terrifying. Just the witches laughter, static, screaming and other disturbing distorted sounds. This ride is clearly not made for kids. It shouldnt start so happy and stuff with singing and bright colors and legit call it "Snow White's adventure" This is freaking TERRIFYING. Imagine being a kid and going on this ride thinking its a fun ride with lots of bright colors and nice songs inside and this is the nightmare you get. I can't even imagine.. I honestly feel bad for any kid that went on this ride. It should be called "Snow White's Horror Show" tbh... Like- It's dark, theres creepy uncanny animatronics, jumpscares every 5 seconds causing constant anxiety, Terrifying and disturbing imagery- for example: The skeletons, The creepy uncanny furniture, The evil queen/witch, the trees especially... The feeling that you cant get out and dont know when it will end is even worse!!! With all the sounds in the backround, too. I might be overreacting but whoever made this ride and said its for kids is freaking sick in the brain. This is the most disturbing shit I've seen. My mom rode it as a kid and said it didn't scare her, which I don't really understand. Heck, I think I can even hear some cries and screams from kids in the background. And when the first jumpscare at the mirror happend i think a kid said "WHY DID IT DO THAT!?" Qhile in the middle of crying because they're probably now scared ro death, thinking it'd be a fun ride and now burying their face it their moms lap and covering their ears. Messed up.
The ride wasn't called Snow Whites "Adventure" like the Disneyland version. This one was called Snow Whites SCARY Adventure. A clear sign the ride was a scary dark ride. There were signs everywhere warning parents not to let small children ride. What's really messed up is they did anyway. Then those Karens complained and eventually got the ride redesigned though they were clearly warned.
@@Hervinbalfour This was the first video I watched of it, but after further research... They didn't have any signs at first. They put a sign warning parents that it "may not be suitable for young children", but originally, it didn't. So without the sign, everyone thought it was for small kids and that it wouldn't REALLY be scary.
@@Hervinbalfour But thank you for the info! :)
I can’t believe this was actually at a Disney park, like this is terrifying
This was drastically better than the later version! I wish I got to ride this but it was dumbed down before I was born :(
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.
This is basically Grimes fairy tales version using the Disney based characters
Damn. What sick human being would approve a ride like this for kids?? 😬😱
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 ride was geared towards CHILDREN!?
James McArthur It was to make them brave.
@@MarthaRoseQuartz Not!
@Frizzurd Pretty sure dark rides don't affect maturity in children, mate.
No, this is just as frightening as Alien Encounter
@@diegofavaratozfilms962 I actually found that one funny when I was 5. Nowadays I'd be terrified.
This is FANTASTIC! Why did they change it? Why did they have to add Snow White, the original concept for the ride was that you were Snow White with the wicked stepmother chasing after you and trying to kill you.
What a great ride
They don't even have the ride there at all now
Because, with the exception of Mr. Toad's Wild Ride, very few guests understood the concept that *you* were Snow White; the same applied for Peter Pan's Flight.
Yes that was a good concept but hardly at home in Fantasyland
what you mean hardly at home in fantasyland?
it was also too dark and scary as well as people not knowing the riders were snow white as mentioned above.
ZOINKS!!
Yes.
LIKE, SCOOBS, WE'RE NOT OWNED BY DISNEY!
*cue the Phantom Virus laughing*
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
