Alice In Wonderland : Side-by-Side Comparison (Before & After 2014 Refurbishment) - Disneyland 

ALL good improvements... EXCEPT losing the long smokey 'dream tunnel' with the Cheshire Cat 'wobbly head' at the end of it, that they used to have (at the very end)...I LOVE how goofy and trippy that looked...oh well...:)

Love the renovation except for the fact that they removed the Cheshire head at the end. That was always my favorite part, cause I'd always grin back at him as wide as I could. :(

Love the new one, except for the very first scene. The twisted corridor was better than a projection.

I like the renovations, but it was more magical and engaging to let the riders take the place of Alice. Adding her in the ride takes that away.

Disney really hit it out of the park with this renovation. The ride looks stunning.

It's a shame some of the small details from the original ride didn't stay, but the new ones over shadow them immensely making this ride absolutely amazing.

Disneyland needs a lion king ride :/

Terrific! I can see the "old" version that I remember and compare it to the changes - which I liked. Glad they added Alice herself to the ride. Thanks from a Disney nerd!

Can you post a side-by-side comparison (before and after) of Peter Pan's Flight 2015 refurbishment?

The old ride made you think that you were Alice, where as the old one showed Alice, taking away the illusion.

昔のをいかしつつうまく新しい技術を取り入れててすごい 東京もこういうことしてくれればいいのに

now imagine if they refurbished it for American McGee's Alice.

I remember I road this ride as much as I could when I was a kid, always loved the book and movie to this day. Ah memories! Can't wait until I get to go again, it's been over 10 years most likely. I'm a teenager now whose been dying to go!

I LOVE these side by sides. What I love about the revamp of this ride is that they weren’t lazy and replace a bunch of old school stuff (I.e. the classic animatronics) with digital effects, but they kept the old and added new things still maintaining its charm. For example, I’m still so disappointed with what they did with the Nemo submarine ride, because they basically just put a huge screen underwater for 99% of the ride and I find it so lazy. Also, I personally love that they added Alice throughout. Especially when you’re younger, it’s nice to see the main character thrown in there.

Really like this update, I like how the subtle changes make it so that you are following Alice rather than you ARE Alice like it used to be.

This is such an awesome side by side comparison, great editing! I remember when we were teenagers this ride was so slow and had hardly anyone on it that we would get off the ride and take pictures with the backgrounds. I have a bunch of incriminating pics now lol. We also got off the Pirates ride once and then jumped on the next boat, but we got busted when we pulled back into the dock. They just told us not to do it again, I think they might have said something over the speakers too but it’s been so long I can’t remember. It was totally stupid and not safe but we thought it was awesome at the time. I didn’t realize then how dangerous rides can be. Also the tickets weren’t electronic back then cause there were no fast passes. My mom worked for Disney Studios and she always warned us not to get in trouble because it would be her butt on the line. Now they would be able to link us to her with those tickets (she has a silver pass). As a parent now I realize how so many of the things my mom told me was correct and we got so lucky not to have been in more trouble or hurt. Listen to your parents and to the rules at public places kids!

They should update all of the old Fantasyland rides with modern effects, but keep the charm and simplicity.

I prefer the new ride because it actually makes me feel like I am in the movie.

I'm gonna be honest here, I like the old one better.

Hah this was uploaded on my 17th bday cool lol and thanks for the video I'm almost 20 now and I'm planning on visiting Disneyland within the next 2 years sometime! I haven't been there since my 5th grade graduation field trip which was in like 2008, so yeah it's been about a good 10 years since I've been to the DL/DCA park in Anaheim

Last Year, in August, it was my first time going on this ride, and i liked it!! I have seen videos of the older version of the ride, and i am actually happy that they made changes in it, because it looks better than it did before, and the ending where the cheshire cat is looking at you, was way too creepy

where is this place? plis someone tell me

Absolutely loved seeing the old and new side by side. Just wish there was an older old haha

They kept alot of things from the old version. One of my favorite props from when i rode it the first time was the merry unbirthday cake. So glad they kept it

Loved the side by side!!! Sooo cool!

Tbh kinda happy they took out the Cheshire Cat at the very end. Always freaked me out a bit and gave me nightmares when I was younger haha.

This is my favorite movie of all time when I go to Disneyland I might cry on this ride because of how much the movie and book have boosted my artistic career

I have been on that ride before but I don't remember the entrance and the exit to the ride

That old hallway with only you and Cheshire Cat freaked me out ahhhhh

I liked the old one in the end with the Cheshire Cat going into the tea party, I liked how it was originally it was my favorite part

Where the Disneyland is?

I loved that Alice was hidden on the older version. You can split second catch her hand and part of her dress at 0:57 where she's standing across from the caterpillar.

So they have "dande-lions" but do they have "puppies"(poppies)?

great video

WOW, ABSOLUTELY AMAZING

A lot there are a lot of improvements that I really like, there are some parts where they take full scenes out of the film. And to me, it ruins the immersion of the whole ride for me. Oh well, there is more good than bad done here. Thank you for the video!

This was the most intense spot the difference game ever

Great video!

WHY is there no UnBirthday scene?

The new one is simply wonderful because it makes you feel that you're in Alice / Alicia's Wonderland. =)

The re-new is good, but I hate that they removed the bread-and-butterfly. He was so cute!

this just makes me want to watch Alice and wonderland original movie now

Cool 😀

0:23 New: When you take drugs Old: When you take drugs in a fancy castle

Excuse me guys what's the music at 2:25

I like the old one but the new one is more bright and visible and detailed

This ride is always super busy. Whenever I go there the waiting time is more than hour.

There's a lot of things they should've kept from the old one

Aw the twisted corridor and da cat is gone... Yep shoulda kept the cat head

Oh wow

It's really confusing have the new on the left and the old on the right.

Overall not a bad update to it. I appreciate them keeping most of the animatronics from the original as well as the sound clips. I was expecting much worse.

The thing I think they could have done since I was little is make the track switch wench the 2 guys say go this way or go that way

I wish I gone on this ride two weeks ago I haven’t been on it since 2008

I like how they kept the old one with the news one like when they kept the old in the same get wut I mean?

2:29 I think I hear a bit of the tiny toons theme here.

I just now realized that the Cheshire Cat has the same voice a whinny the pooh. Also I was in a play of Alice in wonderland, I played the queen of hearts.

Which side is which

I prefer the old exit sequence where you go through a series of doors that get smaller and smaller and the final one is just a keyhole that then opens to the outside.

To be honest, they should have kept the original ride the way it was, maybe just a few improvements. The new visuals are too digitalized.

Looks fun

Is this in orlando

what other ride got redone?

I am probably crossed-eyed because I was trying to see both at the same time to see the difference.

The exterior now looks so much better, compared to the temporary fix.

10/10-Better than the Test Track Refurbishment

Wow!!! Much Better!!! :D

This is my fav movie ever🖤

That Alice, She's SOOOO Hot right now! #Disney #Disneyland #AliceInWonderland #DarkRide #Refurbishment #DisneylandResort #ThemePark

I can understand why people are 50/50 on Alice being in the ride now, seeing as how we were supposed to be Alice, but the added animations and better lighting makes the scenes and characters stand out more, so I'm all for the new look!

Great video! Side by Side awesome............. The New Looks Better, the OLD is just Better though.........

Is this in Florida?

The new one stops at the tea party while going down

I like both obviously the new one is better for many reasons but I kinda prefer the less screens I don't know how to explain but I liked how the old one didn't really have any screens playing stuff mainly because you can get that from watching the movie I think it's cooler when everything has the right there infringe of you not on a screen effect that's a bad explanation but I'm going with it.

I find it weird that I definitely have ridden the new version of the ride but only remember they old version.

I miss this ride

We didn’t get enough mad hatter and I’m sad

They didn't refurbish out the exit door. They should put trees there or something with Alice and her cat sleeping under the tree hiding the outside crowds and the ride could exist under a bridge from the animated movie instead of just metal, or cardboard leaves that just sit there after exciting and looks so cheap compared to the inside of the ride. It takes away the experience at the end. I think it would have been a better experience if the ride was in the water, or the ending would end up splashing in the water under the bridge. Overall, they did a good job with the screen inside though.

Was this in paris??

This looks trippy..

I like both

Didn’t realize it had a refurb lol guess I just didn’t pay attention post 2014

I like the upgrades

wasn't rule 42 the rule that all persons over a mile high have to leave the courtroom?

I love Alice in Wonderland! That seem to be a good ride. I sortev like the before better thow do you?

Although the refurb is definiely more pleasing to the eye, Disney is constantly making the same mistakes for the dynamics of their movie rides. Before 1994, Snow White's Scary Adventure was not very successful with younger riders. This is because the evil witch would appear everywhere, and it lacked the comforting prince and sidekick characters. But most of all, people wondered where was Snow White. Many people did know that YOU, the rider, WAS Snow White. It was your adventure, and it put YOU through Snow White's eyes. Most people are unable to comprehend that, and prefer to spectate Snow White's life, rather than be in it. The same goes for Alice in Wonderland. Notice how your car was saying all of the dialogue of Alice? That is because she is supposed to be YOU. With the revamp, you are once again just spectating Alice's life, rather than being apart of it.

This was the most intense spot the difference game ever

The old Cheshire Cat had better animation, but worse color

I don't personally like that Alice is in the scenes now. I enjoyed that the riders were Alice.

I feel that the "outside garden" portion before the Hatter scene should have had reconstruction to be indoors and fit another scene there or extend the Hatter scene there rather than just swivel around leaves.

Witch one do I focus on XD

I like the new version a lot better because it had projections, more Alice audio-animatronic figures, and a different but GREAT interior. To me, the old version is AWFULLY familiar and overwhelming.

Am I the only one who likes the old one better..?

Wow, this renovation is great. It's nice to see Disney putting new life in classic rides.

I've never understood the utility of the winding intermission track that runs outside the building. Why does that part have to be so long? Were they originally planning to put something out there that to date has never panned out?

This was so much fun to see the old and the new side by side. I love the added animation. Can hardly wait to see the new Peter Pan! Thanks for posting this! :-)

we tried getting on this ride but they told us it was filled with bees.

The old one is definitely better although I think it partly might just be because it's nostalgic to see the old one. Brings back childhood memories and feelings. The new one is still good and I like it a lot actually! I like that there is a little more of Alice in the ride but the old one just has a different vibe to it. I am not a fan of all the projected screen stuff they're doing on these dark rides tbh but again it's a nostalgia thing and as beautiful as the old Disneyland is, it has to change with the times which means rides need to change and be more "high tech" like.

I like it except for the beginning with the projection ceilings and the fact tht they took out Cheshire cat face from the end :(

Thanks for the video - but here's a kind suggestion: If your going to another "Before & After" video....which suggests "Left to Right", then maybe you should produce your final videos as a visual eye aid for seeing "Before" as we visually know is to our LEFT, and the "After" to the RIGHT. It's normally what our brain translates. I originally fast forwarded the beginning and didn't like the "After", thinking it was on the RIGHT side. :)
