Snow White's SCARY adventures.. why on earth don't they change it????

[sarhenty]

I took my son once (not very smart of me ) and he came out crying his head off. I guess I thought he could handle it, I was wrong! So different strokes for different folks or in this case, tykes!

It could definitely use a little refurbishing, a little cleaning up and a milder storyline...

MY 3cents

i like the ride, but that is the only ride my 5 yr. old is terrified of. my 5 yr. old goes on the tower of terror, haunted mansion, all the coasters, anything he's tall enough for, but he won't go near the snow white ride! i don't think it's that creepy, not compared to the tower of terror or the haunted mansion, but for some reason small children are terrified of it and snow white has been my sons favorite movie since he was 2!

I think they should gut it and make it happy and modern. With as little of the witch as possible.

I would like to see the ride in its early stages before tamed down at all, that might make a good ride. The little kids always have pooh, peter pan and small world if those rides stay there.

I always thought that the problem was that this ride has little to do with the spirit of the movie. Riding through the sky on a pirate ship captures the spirit of Peter Pan, and bumping along an English country road captures the spirit of Wind in the Willows (at least as presented in the Disney film). But riding through a jewel mine and getting lunged at repeatedly by a witch?--that's not Snow White. Snow White has a wonderful balance between companionship and danger, which is completely lost in the ride.

We took DD on this ride last year when she was 4. When we talked about going to WDW again, all she would say is that she didn't want to ride Snow White. She screamed her head off all the way through last year and ruined the rest of the morning. We did not even walk near it this year. I don't know if they should get rid of it or not, but it does scare a lot of kids. I don't mind adult/scary rides, but I think it is too scary to be in Fantasyland. JMO

They should make the Snow White dark ride into a Snow White walkthrough. And, for where 20000 Leagues Under the Sea used to be, put Mr Toad's Wild Ride dark ride, The Adventures of Ichabod Crane dark ride (or maybe that belongs in Liberty Square, dunno), and/or a dark ride themed to one of the Silly Symphony Cartoons, like Wynken, Blynken, and Nod.

I've always been curious about several of the queues for Fantasyland attractions such as Peter Pan, Snow White, and Small World.

Have they basically always had "themeless" queues or is that the result of later changes?

yes - all of Fantasyland has had the exact same themeless queues from day one and the exact same attractions minus Mr. Toad, 20K and the skyway. The only changes were Pooh replaced Mr. Toad, Dumbo doubled its' capacity they added a Belle storytime and the theatre has undergone several revisions.

Snow White should be completely revamped (or replaced) - and Peter Pan upgraded with effects. The 20K ride is the longest unattended shuttered attraction I can think of at the Magic Kingdom and should have been replaced with an actual attraction years ago - so whatever the plan is, it really needs to be bigger than all this uneventful speculation being tossed around.

Although Snow White is my least favorite Fantasyland ride I don't think there need to be any major changes. If you read the guid books and maps they all state that it is a dark ride and may be too intense for young children so I think that is an individual call that every parent has to make on their own. You know your children and if they are scared of the dark or having things pop out at them then I would bypass Snow White and wait until they got a little older. My first visit to WDW was at 5 yrs. old and I remember being scared to death by Pirates of the Caribbean and The Haunted Mansion. I am 30 today and try to visit WDW at least once a year and POTC and HM actually became two of my most favorite rides on my next trip at 6 years old. I don't think that children are being scarred for life by a little darkness and a witch popping out at them. I say leave it like it is

Interesting....my 4y is incredibly easily scared...and she goes on Snow White with no problem at all. I even warned her several times that the ride would be scary....but since she insisted on going I took her. Its really one of her favorites.

I'll admit that I think part of the reason she likes it is because its almost always instant gratification. I can't say I've waited in a line for this in years...if ever!

My 4yo is afraid to go through Tomorrowland after dark (I have no idea why...but I suspect its the buildings or something...she will scream and scream if we just walk through) but she just loves Snow White.

Snow White is the first animated movie every made. It is one of the reasons there is a Walt Disney World. It is a great classic, but it is kind of a dark movie to begin with. I would hate to see them get rid of this ride.

Me too. But if some of the things aren't working, they should be fixed. And a few updates wouldn't hurt.

 

[JoyMouse]

Okay, a little lame, but still a classic!

 

[crusader]

Well maybe we should hang on to it just as a testament to the fact that lame attractions were actually built amongst the great ones of thier day. But I'll pass.

This is my all time loser out of the classics at the MK. The other one has already been replaced.

I don't wish they'd get rid of this ride- but I do wish they'd lighten it up a bit. To my knowledge it's the ONLY "princess" ride (yes, my little princess has asked me several times why there isn't a Cinderella ride- can you imagine the lines for that??? LOL) -but it's too scary for the little girls that truly believe in Princesses. She's rode it once- was freaked out of her mind (2.5yrs old) and we won't take her on it again. It was our first time there- we had no idea it'd be THAT scary... for little kids I mean.
By the time she's old enough to ride it and not get scared- she won't be young enough to still believe in princesses.

I guess the ride is as bad as the movie - the movie is soooooooooo boring

Hey I am a dad and watch it with my daughter. I don't think that it is that bad!!! She emjoys it greatly and I can sit through the whole thing and yes the ride is outdated but still enjoyable and I can take my 1 yo on it too. Sorry my dd picked out the smileys

 

[mitros]

My only compaint is that I am 6'7" and have a difficult time getting into the ride vehicle. Otherwise, we think it's great!
