Snow Whites Adventures to go down

[PixieT78]

Oh darn well I guess I won’t count on being able to ride this in March! Too bad!

Exactly. Until Disney releases official information about this refurb (and the site that reported this is hardly an "official" channel), there is no point getting hysterical about this or generating more rumors based on other people's rumors. It's best to just stay calm until Disney makes their official announcement.

I don’t think anyone is getting hysterical.

Here's an article by the OC Register where Disneyland confirms the refurbishment.

I wonder if they will try to give the attraction a proper ending scene.

That would be awesome!!!!!!

I’m shocked this project wasn’t started earlier. They only touched 2 of the dark rides in preparation of the 60th so it sounds like they are getting started on the rest.

ugh, same. disappointed

Excited about this upgrade. Some of these Fantasyland rides could really use an upgrade: PP and Alice are great examples of what what an upgrade can look like.

Maybe there going to add an ending LOL!
And of course, the long rumored loop.

Thank you for linking that article! The more updated, accurate information we can get on this, the better!

And that's the way we like it around here! If we all work together on these boards to provide the most accurate information available as it becomes available (and that isn't always easy on the Disney interwebs), then this board can remain a sane place that people can depend on, not just be another rumor mill.

I for one am thrilled!!! I admit we only ride this ride about once every 4 years. I hope they don't completely change it but that they give it a nice upgrade. Kids don't ride it, if they do they are terrified or at the least, very confused lol! I nice upgrade is long overdue!!!

The article states that "Disneyland filed a building permit with the city of Anaheim for a $445,000 refurbishment of Snow White’s Scary Adventures, according to city records." $445K is nowhere close to the budgets for Alice or Pan--this will be a cleanup, freshen the paint kind of refurb.

none of the blogs/news articles give dates, right?

Correct, my guess is work will start right after the holidays are over.

It would be great to see more up to date animatronics on this attraction. Perhaps the mine sequence could be updated to look more like the one on Seven Dwarves Mine Train. I think the one of the queen that swings around and becomes the old crone is among the most in need of improving. And yes an ending scene would be great.

i guess this does put to rest the rumour that was going around a few months ago that both Snow White and pinnochio were to be replaced with a beauty and the beast attraction.

I'm fine with that. It'll be back. At least it's not going to be replaced.

... I think the one of the queen that swings around and becomes the old crone is among the most in need of improving....

I was there last weekend and for me, this seems like the scene that needs the least improvements. There is a modern projection effect of electricity around the mirror on par with some of PP’s FX, and the effect has always been pretty convincing to me. The forest and the mine I’m betting will get the most changes if any.

Hoping you're right and hoping it's quick. I'd really be bummed if it wasn't open in April. As crazy as it sounds, the main reason I fly 6.5 hours out there is for the Fantasyland dark rides.

I wonder if the quoted cost is simply for structural and building improvements. I can’t imagine Disney has to file permits to go in and change set dressing type of stuff. I figure everything the city had to sign off on was electrical service work, heating cooling, structural, and anything that might affect a fire marshal inspection report.

Think of the overlays that go on attractions. HM or Small World don’t have building permits, but A LOT of changes take place inside the rides.

I suspect we could still see repainting, new figures, compression of the story in some scenes if they want to add an ending, redone audio track, projection mapping, etc.

I hope not - that cracks me up every time...

 

[Indiana Scott]

The $445K is probably just an estimated construction cost. The engineering costs could easily be much more than that as could the eventual building costs.
