SIDE BY SIDE: Snow White's Enchanted Wish & Scary Adventures! 

I'm glad they didn't take much horror out of it. It's funny the original Snow White just end abruptly..lol.

I thought I was going to not like it but I LOVE it

Miss the spooky woods

The new refurbishment is honestly great, they kept the creepy elements and also added more of the original disney story to the new ride, and actually gave snow white the animatronic she deserves.

Wow, they did a really good job on the effects! The new version feels much more indicative of an old Disney film. Well done, imagineers!

It’s so much better now! Yesss!

One of my favorite rides! Awesome video thank you. Was scared to see the new changes but the new ride looks great! I love it!

Im really sad the trees are gone

I cant tell if the ride desperately needed a refurbishment but im glad they did

The way it was before is so awkward, it just ends. Like, that's it? What about the ending?? Haha.

I obviously tell that they slowed down the carts

At first I thought "Wow, what a downgrade" then I realized I was looking at the wrong side. Oops.

Snow whites scary adventures we’ll always have a place in my heart but snow whites enchanted wish it blaaa

Way more changes than I realized

👍

lol, I just read an article in the newspaper this morning about the ride. Apparently ppl are appalled by the refurbished ride because at the end when it's seen that the prince kiss's Snow White and she wakes up. It was all done without consent and children should not see that or learn from it. lol! People are just so stupid now days.

Better but still need to ONLY see that scary witch from the back lol 😆😂😅 I'm 58 years old and STILL have bad dreams from from that witch and cruel Devil in one hundred and one Dalmatians.

The original one is still better

What the difference in the ride it’s basically the exact same as before they revamped it besides a few changes

THEY SLOWED IT DOWN!!! Thats so much better those scenes always felt rushed and I wanted to see the animatronics etc

I love how it starts off almost the same ride, and then at the very end you're either seeing some cute princess stuff or being tormented by the nightmare trees...

I always laughed at the end when she falls and you hear her scream then it cuts to the end with the book saying “and they lived happily ever after” it was just a funny cut away lol

Now we can tell, Snow white FINALY has her happy ending

my only complaint , and it is a small one overall, They did a great job but i will miss when the witch came out of the cottage door at 1:46. That always got me by surprise.

I will miss the Witch death scream.

The technology for the refurbishment is completely amazing and magical.

Slowing it down is a subtle but genius touch to enhance the ride.

When I was 3 my mum took me on the Snow White ride in Disneyland Paris and to this day I can’t watch the animated film without getting flashbacks of the evil queen in her hag form jumping out at you, literally I’m 22 now.

RIP my skeleton brethren and the haunted forest so dope looking

I am actually really happy with the changes! That ending is beautiful and the scene of Snow White biting the apple and the mirror shattering is amazing!

I miss the skeleton, though. He was supposed to be the Huntsman who failed to kill SnowWhite.

The one thing that I miss with the new ending is the satisfying plummet of the evil queen. That was honestly my favorite part.

Walt Disney himself probably would have loved to deliver Snow White’s Enchanted Wish if the ride technology had been available to him in 1955. He LOVED the idea of technological advancement and would likely approve of the new ride. Although he was also a big supporter of the idea that ‘The riders are Snow White(POV) I think he would be won over by the fact that more of his movie is depicted on the new ride.

I’m glad they kept the queen turning at you from the mirror! That scene always freaked me out the most and it always impressed me as well! I love the changes they made. You can tell they really did want to make it special still

For some reason I always liked the part where snow white was climbing the stairs holding the lamp. I hate they totally got rid of the ride in MK 😔. And for a silly meet and greet at that.

Wow this actually looks really nice. I was scared with all of the new ride additions but this one didn't disappoint.

bruhh im gonna miss that dark forest scene, it was so simple yet one of my favorites

One other change I noticed that I haven’t seen anyone talk about yet is how, when the queen’s reflection flips around in the mirror to show the witch at 0:58, you can no longer see her crown through the mirror. That was always something that bugged me from before, but it seems like they fixed the lighting in the refurb to better hide it now

I remember riding it and at the ending being like "oh she's dead, happy ever after!"

The Imagineers did a great job on the new effects! The updated version looks really good!

Nice comparison vid. Regarding the attraction though... I have my thoughts ;) I liked that the story was complete. But I feel WDW's version told it better. Even DLP's version tells it nicely. But to the extent that the previous version was scary, this version is happy. (It's excessively happy) I may or may not have burst out laughing at the end. I'm glad though that the story doesn't just end with a book. But I miss all of the thematic scary elements. Like Inside Out taught us - we should embrace all emotions. Some of us kids (and kids at heart) love the villains and atmospheric experiences like Halloween walk-throughs.

They both have their good and bad points, but I'm still kind of partial to the older version.

I will miss the haunted forest scene, but the new additions are really gorgeous

I rode WDW’s likely original rendition of the ride in 1984. I was six years old at that time. When they said‘scary,’ they meant‘SCARY!!!,” especially to me as a highly sensitive kid. But, I probably rode it 2 times on that trip. Loved it each time. Was SCARED each time. Had nightmares for a year where I would mentally put the witch emerging WITH A SPOTLIGHT on her from behind the forest’s trees. I realize she popped around in the trees on the ride, but my dream-brain reorganized it so that the witch was directly in my field of vision looking exactly like she does in the movie. Still, but not a ride animatronic.

i never got to experience the old attraction [i did experience the disney world version and it was similar with the scary trees] but i think this is an improvement, i wish they still showed the witch's death but i'm glad they actually wrapped up the story with snow white eating the apple and waking up, and i love that they still kept the queen's transformation as a practical effect instead of replacing it with a screen

The original was scarier, but the sudden and abrupt ending to "they all lived happily ever after" was whiplash-inducing! So jarring and abrupt. This is much better narratively.

That seems like a big improvement. It actually tells the story of Snow White.

I like the older scarier version a bit better but the new tech updates are great. Thanks for posting.....

The new generation of children are very lucky to witness the most mellow version of the ride. I remember when I was a kid the version of the ride I was familiar was way more darker and spooky plus snow white was only present in the ending 😂😂

The new effects are great, but I'm nonplussed that they removed the forest and the sense in which you were joining Snow White on her scary adventure. Now it's much more like you're just sitting in a cart to watch scenes from the movie. The stronger rides are the ones where you're having the adventure... It's YOU flying over Neverland, not just WATCHING Peter Pan fly over Neverland. It's not the worst change to a Disney attraction (hi Pirates of the Caribbean!) but it is definitely a tonal shift.

Do you have magic hair? Magic hands? Do animals talk to you? Were you poisoned? Cursed? Kidnapped or enslaved? If I had to assume you made a deal with an underwater sea witch, where she took your voice in exchange for a pair of human legs? Have you ever had true love's kiss? Do you have daddy issues? Do people assume all your problems got solved because a big, strong man showed up? She is a princess! *vocalize*

My favorite change is adding the Dwarves in the mine.

I can tell the ride redesign team has great respect for the history of the ride and the impact of the movie. This redesign looks perfect.

They did a much, much better job at cleaning and redoing the scenes that needed to be cleaned and redone in the first place! That’s what Disney wants for their visitors. Clean, no rides dirty and out of date on the construction and paintwork, and good customer environment

So it seems that they reused the figures of the dwarves in the killing the witch scene. They're in more compact arrangement tho to make them all fit XD

Oh!! What a delight to experience the revised Snow White!! Sooooo excited and thrilled. Thank You!!

I'll really miss the forest segment, which made it the most intense of the Fantasyland rides. It scared me as a kid, but as an adult I loved it. And I'll miss those two skeletons in the lair, especially the one in the floor grate which was especially grim. Still, as much as I miss the characteristic darkness of the original I have to admit the ending is much improved, and I like how they incorporated the storybook theme, which is scattered in the line queue, into the final part of the ride. Snow White was always one of the shortest, fastest lines in the park; I wonder if that will still be the case...

I miss the holographic apple!

I hope they never cancel the kiss scene ...or the movie itself. Don't listen to the NPCs. Listen to the true fans!

I'm so disappointed by this I always loved the haunted Forest

It just builds to that encounter with the witch in the castle and then just as things are getting suspenseful...a mirror in a moat starts the trend of a bunch of projection effects, books telling us what's happening instead of showing, and three endings crammed together. Way to take all the excitement out of this thing. Now it's just a book report, not an adventure.

It looks pretty good and nicely fleshed out! But I always enjoyed the aesthetic of the lineup of the dwarves on the cliff in the old version. They just clumped them together in the new. And from what I could tell in your previous video, they removed the touch sensitive apple at the entrance of the attraction? Or did they move it somewhere else?

Well it’s sad that we don’t have that forest and that scares the witch gave us, but it still looks great

Tbh the new version is much brighter than the original and, as you said in a previous video, the story is more complete. Looking forward to going on it, whenever we do get to go.

The new improved Snow White's Enchanted Wish Ride is a lot better than the original 👍.

Crazy thing is I rode this right before it closed for refurbishment. Went to disneyland summer 2019 for first time. As a Disneyworld child I enjoyed it

So does the witch queen still die or is her fate now ambiguous with her trapped on the cliff! They should edit it and have her fall to her death with the boulder- it would make sense movie wise

So happy they finally finished the story and Snow White got her happy ending!

the imagineers did an amazing job! Personally, its hands off of Pinocchio though..!

Don't know why they removed the scary forest...but I enjoyed the new visuals and the ending scene!

I love how the mine looks like the Disney World Snow White ride. I’m glad it has a happy ending instead of that abrupt ending.

0:41 Ah. Another “endless hallway” gimmick.

I miss the 2019 version the 2020 version is like a happy innocent version and now it’s getting hate on the true loves kiss scene like people that movies been out for 84 years

Yea, I think they improved the ride with these updates. Much better ending to the ride and great 'current tech' updates to make smaller features pop more.

Are people really mad about the kiss

Looking forward to eventually riding it. I think the last scene is a better ending, but is it a less scary ride? Not sure yet.

I still prefer Snow White's Scary Adventures for it's darker tone and thrilling atmosphere, since it was an alternate take of Snow White and the Seven Dwarves. It mainly focused on the Evil Queen's point of view instead of Snow White's. Now that the exterior of the attraction had been softened by being repainted, skulls removed, and some redesigns the exterior of the Evil Queens' castle became too much like Sleeping Beauty Castle's color scheme which it makes pointless. I wish Disney kept the haunted forest scene, but due to space limitations it was impossible...I'll miss Scary Adventures. "It should not be forgotten that as a dark ride, Snow White's Adventures has never needed to concentrate on telling the 1937 movie's full story. From 1955 to 1992, all these rides (with the exception of the 1994 WDW version), have concentrated on presenting an impression on the movie's essence, instead of telling the complete story. The California 1983 version continued to be Snow White's personal nightmare, a hallucinatory voyage through iconic scenes. As the focal point of the ride remained on the scary essence, there really was no need for a proper ending. Unfortunately only a few guests understood this."

I remembered going on that at magic kingdom.

It's honestly a great update!

Disney World’s version of SWSA was amazing. I have never ridden any version of the Snow White ride at Disneyland, but I can’t imagine how Disney World’s rendering of Snow White’s Scary Adventures could be topped. Snow White was absent, except for an unseen song vocal by her wishing well before you entered the proper ride. It was just CREEPY and GREAT. Even as a kid, I indirectly read that on the ride the queen won the story and killed Snow White. Such a disappointment that they took down Florida’s version of the ride.

The original is so much better. True to the story...

I much prefer the original, loved the scary scenes with the haunted forest and the overuse of screens really lessens the experience imo. Snow White dancing with the Dwarves is a nice touch tho i will admit!

omg why did i tear up when snow white bit the apple & it all shattered??

They did RIGHT by renhancing and refurbishing the ride cause that original is way too disturbing. It is still a dar ride and is still scary but not R rated scary!!! Whoever finalized the og ride must have been kicking themselves hard cause people had nightmares!

Bro, my childhood is dying and I don't like it

My moms favorite princess is snow white , but she never cared for the ride bc she was barely in it but hopefully now she will like it 😌😌

People are getting mad about the kiss in the ending. People are so sensitive.

Wow! Okay, that wasn't what I was expecting at all. I'm glad they didn't take the evil queen out, and there's a better ending this time!

et ce que aurra par chez nous un snow white scary adventure a DISNEYLAND PARIS

Big Thumbs up! Not an easy job to enhance a classic attraction, but they have made it a much more well rounded experience which gives a better narrative of the story.

Special effects look great, but I feel a part of Walt's original vision has just been permanently erased from Disneyland. Of course it was made to make the ride less scary, but that was the charm about the original ride which followed more on the story of the evil queen. Every time you rode on it, you felt a little more tougher.

SCARY ADVENTURES is far more satisfying, IMO. It just has a darker edge to it that just clicks with me. Toning it down takes a lot of the bite out of it.

Very sad about not being able to see the original. It was one of the older rides I really wanted to enjoy. I still probably would like it but i wonder if there will be any old school Disney rides when I finally get there

Before it was better. Now it has too many screens and less animatronics. The witch's death is rushed and boring now and the hunted forest is gone... The new lighting is nice but I feel like this ride is getting worse and worse by the years...

Yeah, I prefer the old version

So unfortunate to see the forest removed but this effects look super awesome! Cant wait to see it for myself 😁

just few more days theme parks reopening

I'm sad about the removal of the forest scene, but not too sad because it messed me up as a child, and while I wish the Witch's death scene was kept in I will admit the new ending is so much better

Ok but the alligators used to scare the crap out of me and I’m really gonna miss them being there. The forest was my favorite part 😢

old one muchhh better
