Treva Walker You went on the refurbished version that ran from 1994-2012. This ran from 1971-1994. I can see why they changed this. It's too 70s. The noises in the diamond mine and the part where you see stars reeks of 1971. (Same goes for the dark room after you get hit by the train on Mr. Toad.) Hell, even the font on "Seven Dwarfs Mine" is way too 70s.
@@MarthaRoseQuartz The mine font is supposed to be old-fashioned, fairytale style. Also, the technology used to speed up the witch's laugh in the starburst scene must have been a record player, as it skips over and over like a broken record.
a similar version still exists today at Tokyo Disneyland, but the differences are the witches appears around 5 times, the ride audio is less scarier than this. the dwarf cottage scene is the one with the silly song and the ending takes place at the cliff, but you are crushed by the boulder similar to this, with the gem. but the Tokyo version is still scariest out of all the snow white rides in the other Disney parks
Kids love to be scared. They’re fascinated by the things that scare them. I’m pretty young, and I remember hating the revamped “child friendly” version they replaced it with. I thought it was boring.
Finaly someone who shares my sentinment. I don't understand this pansy mindset that the ride was too scary. Like did anyone actually watch the movie???
@@michaelthebishop5290 I guess the Queen succeeded on her mission? I read somewhere that Snow White was having flashbacks through her nightmare on what happened to her which was illustrated on this ride.
I was very little and this ride petrified me... The memory of what I felt has stuck with me all my life.... Awesome upload tho! Watching it back is nostalgic.
I remember going on this ride when I was super small (idk if it was this version or not) and I don't remember it well at all except for this one part, the witch says something about offering you an apple and my mom said to me something along the lines of "say no! say I don't want your apple!" and a terrified young me responded with something like "I DONT LIKE APPLES! STRANGER DANGER!" and that memory is like one of the earliest memories I have lol
This ride got updated In 1994. From 1994-2012 it was snow white’s scary adventures (however it was less scarier than the original version) Then in 2012 to now it’s the 7 dwarves mine train. You either experienced the original and/or just the 2nd version. Both can be scary for very little children. But the original was a straight up horror house ride.
I guess I'm one of those rare children who loved this version! 😂😂😂 When I rode the "updated" version many years later I was disappointed. I enjoyed being "terrified" of the witch as a child.
I agree but when my parents put me on this ride in 1978, I was 4 years old and it was too much for a 4 year old kid. It affected me greatly and actually caused me to be more afraid of everything. Maybe if I was 8 or 9 it would have been better.
Wow the original version looked & felt real creepy, it's amazing when i read that when they originally made Show White's Adventures that alot of people felt it a little strange that they didn't show Snow White anytime in the ride....not until later when it was changed to Snow White's Scary Adventures. But the original version was supposed to give you the feel of being Snow White herself in the adventures from what she went though in the movie. I love Snow White :D
THIS is the version I remember so fondly. It was so intense that after the doors open at the end and you return to reality, you don't know what the heck hit you. I just rode this ride yesterday, for the first time in like 20 years. It's so tame that it's lame. Thanks so much for the upload. Really brought back memories.
I rode this at 7 and I cried. I should've known after the kid before us got off the ride crying. i kept my eyes closed until they showed the jewels in the mine
Well there’s a reason why they don’t have those yellow flashing things at the end. Someone with epilepsy probably had a seizure in the park. Scary ass ride in the 90’s
Child in bed: "Mommy, I don't remember Snow White like this..." Mother: "Yeah, well, this was a LOT cooler, wasn't it? Now go to sleep." *turns off the light and leaves the room*
3:34 listen for Mel Blanc (Man of 1,000 voices), Dallas Mckennon, and Disney legend Hal Smith as the Dwarves. Blanc is mostly voicing Grumpy in a Yosemite Sam type of voice while Smith and Mckennon do the voices of Doc, Sneezy, Happy, and Sleepy respectively. Ginny Tyler (another Disney legend) voices the queen and the witch here as presented in the original version of the ride before being refurbished and to make it less scary and with new voices, notably Tony Jay as the magic mirror.
That is AWESOME!! I'm kinda surprised Mel Blanc ever agreed to work with Disney again after they made his character in Pinocchio a mute at the last minute. What about Paul Frees and Hans Conried? I read that they did the Dwarfs in the original as well.
Oh man! I remember going on this when I was really little; I was scared shitless! I'm came back three years ago and went on the toned-down version, which was still fun, but I would love to ride this one again. And, yes, I know they closed down the ride entirely. Such a shame
This is my favorite version and I always looked forward to this ride during my vacations. I was so disappointed when I rode after the refurb.. Thanks for uploading this!!!!
Haha, I love how you can hear the children crying at the end of the ride. Seriously, I wonder what it was like for the attendants at this ride to continually have to put up with the crying children and angry parents as everyone exited.
My parents actually were cast members around this time at the Magic Kingdom. Whenever my mother was working Peter Pan or Small World, parents would frequently approach her and ask "is this ride scary" due to the deception of Snow White.
Great video widenyourworld, even though this ride scared the living daylights out of alot of us when we were really young, it was a bit more fun than the one they have today because it was more 'interactive' (it felt like the queen/witch was chasing you)
I understand the rider was supposed to be Snow White but what does that have to do with the witch dropping a jewel on you?! I cannot believe they waited so long to change it
I guess that the ride took place during on a nightmare on Snow White's perspective on where in the diamond finale, the witch tried to kill you but you woke up before she succeeded on your nightmare.
Jaidy Bos the reason why is because Claud Cotes worked on both this and the Haunted Mansion. He wanted to make the Haunted Mansion darker than this, but Marc Davis had a more lighthearted idea. With this, Cotes wanted to make a truly spooky ride.
yeah but imagine you're a 3/4 year old child on that you'd be completely terrified, no dwarves, no "happy" or complete ending it implies that you the rider have been crushed or it's a dream of some kind. Kind of distorts the whole happiest place on earth thing. I think as well Walt Disney wanted the rider to be Snow White so everything's from her POV but they didn't show much of the dwarves or the prince I think if that was included it would've been clearer and less scary.
I rode this ride in WDW in 1987 and it SCARED me. I recently went back to both WDW and DL 20 years later to reride it and conquer my childhood fears and it wasn't the same! Thank you for posting this. I can see now that I wasn't some wimp child at all; this ride used to be reeeeeally scary to little kids!!!!
idk why but I really love this version, dark scary thrilling, though the black ghost at the dwarf cottage and the ending with the crushing of the gem with you dying and no happy ending really gave the ride a chilling suspense.
Little known fact: If you stepped out to your right, you/your family were immediately sent to Its a Small World where youd ride the attraction until the park closed--it was a tough lesson to learn
That witch pops up like every five seconds; I'd go deaf if I rode this (if it were still around), what with all that cackling and "please step off to your left business", it's quite overwhelming. Even the current version really scares me!
This ride utterly freaked me out at age 4. In 2003 I went on it again to challenge myself--then at age 21--and I actually got really bored and wasn't even remotely freaked out; I didn't realize the whole thing had been changed, but I'm honestly glad they did. It was just too disturbing. I got off the ride crying like crazy. And all those skeletons back then just added to the freak-out factor for me; I love skeletons now, but I WAS ONLY FOUR.
I remember being truly scared of this ride, the original was awesome! The 1994 rebuild made the ride LAME! Now it's slated for demolition. Probably to be replaced with something cute and family oriented.
There was a huge change in Fantasyland at the end of the 70's. Every dark ride got updated, improved and a tad longer. Pinocchio was added then as well. Snow White got a story, more animatrons and a much better queue.
@michaelsar12 Sounds like you haven't watched Wind in the Willows for a while because Toad's Wild Ride is hardly like the film. They basically took the idea of what one could see on an insane drive with Toad and ran with it.
I remember riding this version when I was thirteen. I thought it was going to be a boring ride with dancing dwarves. I screamed so much that the little girls sitting behind me were making fun of me when I came out.
I Can't Believe The Cast Members Don't Care About The Scared Children That Lost Half Their Lives On The Ride And Their Obsession With ''Please Step Out To Your Left
The previous generation of children must have been a lot more difficult to scare, because they could handle the original Snow White dark ride is a MILLION TIMES more frightening than the current, and THIS generation FLIPS OUT when riding it!
They should have just routed the tracks at the end of this ride into the final "Hell Scene" of Mr. Toad so the gem-crushed people could wave to the train-squashed people. Mr. Toad had more fun before he bought it, that's for sure. In his world, HE did all the scaring. Not every ride at Walt Disney World offers a glimpse into the afterlife, but Mr. Toad's Wild Ride aims to please.
Im pretty sure I remember going on this version of the ride in tokyo when I was 3 and it just never really stuck with me. I do remember talking about there being no snow white and the ride just having the witch though.
@TB492 ahhhh hello, this was the original version, which opened in 1971 and was later changed in the early 90's....YOU are supposed to be "Snow White" and experiencing her terrifying escape from the witch from her point of view. Unfortunately, many people such as yourself, were too stupid to figure this out, so they had to dumb it down, make it less scary and add Snow White, the prince and the rest of the cast. It was donwhill from there and I'm glad it's finally closed down.
Warriorseamonkey16 What no? they made it to be there? This is a ride based of the movie not a complete imitation of the movie. They wanted to make a scary ride so they added some scenes. The scene with the witch dropping a diamond and pushing a mine kart isn't in the movie either.
I'm given to understand that a different Snow-White themed ride, a mine train indoor coaster with the Seven Dwarfs, is planned. I'll miss the old ride, but this sounds good.
I never got to ride this version, but I miss the days when scary stuff was cool. Now it's all boring happy stuff. Don't get me wrong, I still like the modern versions, but I think kids like having some simulated fantasy danger once in a while. I know I did at least.
Wow, I'm speechless!! I had no idea the WDW version was once this cool! Since I've been on all 4 versions of the ride (Disneyland, Magic Kingdom, Tokyo Disneyland and Disneyland Paris) can anyone tell me if Tokyo's was once like this? Because Magic Kingdom's and Tokyo's seem to be very similar, like they were perhaps both updated at the same time since they have identical layouts.
wow, that ride is a totally different ride than what it is today. More like an old carnival haunted house, and the ending, wow! Never would've thought that a Disney ride, especially one in Fantasyland, would have an unhappy ending. I can see why they changed it!
This ride was tough to operate as until the re-do in the mid-90's it was running on the old dark ride system- the the newer dark rides the cars have specific places where they stop in the station and you can't move them if a car is in front of them- Until 1995, this ride powered small sections of the track and you had to move them by pushing buttons to get them into the right spot- if you hit the wrong button the cars would hit each other!
That was one of the reasons the ride got changed anyway, to add in Snow White, because the concept of guests being Snow White confused the guests, who didn't quite grasp that.
I think the original version of Snow White at Disneyworld does more justice too the original story and cartoon. When they make it bright and happy, we loose sight that the whole story is about a queen trying to kill a young girl just because she is more beautiful. The very nature of Snow White, along with most children's fairy tales, is scary. I went on this when I was young, didn't bother me a bit. If the title "SCARY ADVENTURES" didn't warn parents, then they are just dumb parents.
I remember this!!! I was little, and it scared the crap out of me. I couldn't understand how it could be so scary, and every other ride, like Peter Pan was fun and beautiful.
So that's what that ride looks like!! The first time I rode it at the age of 7 I only saw the witch the first time and my hands were over my face the rest of the ride. LOL
a pure sign that the ride was a success. ironic that when they renamed it SCARY adventures, it got less scary
phenomenalclassic93 They didn't rename it that until a good four years after it got updated.

Oh this is so cool! Thanks for posting this! I don't remember this one very much.
I wonder if Paul Winchell (tigger’s voice) did the skeletons
I never got to ride this version, but I miss the days when scary stuff was cool. Now it's all boring happy stuff. Don't get me wrong, I still like the modern versions, but I think kids like having some simulated fantasy danger once in a while. I know I did at least.
...wow. I had no idea that the current ride had a predecessor like this! I would have been terrified as a kid, I think.
Wow, I'm speechless!! I had no idea the WDW version was once this cool! Since I've been on all 4 versions of the ride (Disneyland, Magic Kingdom, Tokyo Disneyland and Disneyland Paris) can anyone tell me if Tokyo's was once like this? Because Magic Kingdom's and Tokyo's seem to be very similar, like they were perhaps both updated at the same time since they have identical layouts.
before the ride : why children looks soo traumatized
after the ride : ow..........ok
wow, that ride is a totally different ride than what it is today. More like an old carnival haunted house, and the ending, wow! Never would've thought that a Disney ride, especially one in Fantasyland, would have an unhappy ending. I can see why they changed it!
Wow, so very different than the one that exists now, The original was evil around every turn with nothing even remotely happy! Very neat
This ride was tough to operate as until the re-do in the mid-90's it was running on the old dark ride system- the the newer dark rides the cars have specific places where they stop in the station and you can't move them if a car is in front of them- Until 1995, this ride powered small sections of the track and you had to move them by pushing buttons to get them into the right spot- if you hit the wrong button the cars would hit each other!
That was one of the reasons the ride got changed anyway, to add in Snow White, because the concept of guests being Snow White confused the guests, who didn't quite grasp that.
@PapaRon99 This film was taken in 1990!!! What the hell did you expect?!?!?!
I think the original version of Snow White at Disneyworld does more justice too the original story and cartoon. When they make it bright and happy, we loose sight that the whole story is about a queen trying to kill a young girl just because she is more beautiful. The very nature of Snow White, along with most children's fairy tales, is scary. I went on this when I was young, didn't bother me a bit. If the title "SCARY ADVENTURES" didn't warn parents, then they are just dumb parents.
If I was on this ride as a kid, I would be like: THE F*CK WAS THAT DISNEY?!?
just like in the movie! :D
Thank you for posting this!
I rode the scary version. I was a very traumatized and sobbing four year old. Good times.
That witch looks like Lara Flynn Boyle
This ride scarred me for life
Glad they r changing this ride bc it is very scary as an adult I don't ride it lol
I remember this!!! I was little, and it scared the crap out of me. I couldn't understand how it could be so scary, and every other ride, like Peter Pan was fun and beautiful.
So that's what that ride looks like!! The first time I rode it at the age of 7 I only saw the witch the first time and my hands were over my face the rest of the ride. LOL
