News Disneyland to give Snow White’s Scary Adventures dark ride a major facelift in 2020

[mickEblu]

Where did you read about the Witch in the boat being removed? Not that I'm expecting that to remain, but the only things we really know about are the scenes between the cottage and the mine (and the closing scenes). The Witch in the boat doesn't come until later.

It also makes me wonder how the castle and the scary forest will fit into the equation.

I'm also wondering if the Dwarfs will actually appear in the final goodbye scene. I hope they at least include Dopey. Did they scrap the waving Dopey figure from the 1994-2012 version of the WDW ride? If not, they could reuse it here.

We don’t know for sure. I’m just assuming she’s gone. I don’t think we see the dwarfs in either of the last two seems in the concept art so probably not.

Anyone recognize where this is supposed to be in Snow White?

My best guess is just after the mining sequence where the Vault was in Scary Adventure, there's even a similar looking tree (R.I.P Vultures if this is the same scene):

Given the tree on the right side, it appears to be on the left wall just before the new Dwarfs-on-Log projection. Look at the tree on the left in this screenshot from the ride before - presumably the Shadows will be to the left of it, and the Dwarfs themselves are where the Castle Mural was:

Since it appears this whole scene is now lighter than it used to be, both in literal brightness and in tone, and has the presence of the Dwarfs extending all along it, it seems safe to assume the figure of the Queen looking in the Cottage Window has been removed.

The name is really a non-issue for me.

Oh, not for me, because the name gets right to the root of the problem, and the cluelessness of the people in charge. “Snow White’s Enchanted Wish” is the single worst name for a ride I’ve ever heard. It sounds like a terrible direct-to-video sequel. The person who chose that name should not be allowed to name anything ever again.

Forget having a scary adventure, kids, that’s too challenging. You get to have an enchanted wish!

You know Snow White’s real wish is? For better people in charge at Imagineering!

Since nobody else has done it yet, here's a comparison of the Dwarves' mine before and after:

So, is it just me, or is that figure of Doc reallly tiny? Is it supposed to look like some sort of forced perspective?

I'm not sure the issues with the Outdoor Ramp weren't at least partly an instigator for Alice's in-depth rework, but

Did someone say Ramp??????

The mine scene was already small and they could probably cheat the scale because it had no mannequins in it.

Did somebody say, “WISH?”

Ok, I admit that if the ride now really ends with the Witch getting run over by the newest Disney cruise ship, then the name makes total sense. NOW I get it.

Or Dopey beating the stuffing out of the Witch.

Real Talk, I seriously wished Disney made that scene became an actual video game when they used to have their own video game studio/division.

Also Disney can you please "Runaway Brain" on Disney+! The only way most people were able to watch that short was "The Walt Disney Treasures" DVD Collection .

Does anybody know what became of any of the witch scenes? The promo strategically left out all of them.

 

[George Lucas on a Bench]

I wonder why they'd do that....

I know others on here have said the witch still makes appearances, but I’m wondering just how dumbed down it’ll be..

The Witch had less than 8 minutes of scenes in a 100 minute movie.

So, that should equate proportionately to 9 seconds on the ride.

By that logic, Batu was never in Star Wars, so Galaxy's Edge shouldn't exist.

Batuu is part of the canon now. Not only because the medium of a theme park is being used to tell the larger SW story, making it its own canonization, but canon books set in the SW universe also use Batuu as a setting.

GE was never meant to be a storybook version of one particular movie, but Snow White: The Ride is.

They're spinoff rides.

Mister Penguin = Kim Irvine

Oh, no. Now @TP2000 will start criticizing my fashion sense!

The Witch is what made our version of the attraction and has been a big factor for decades. A significantly less appearance from the character will undoubtedly change the feel and tone of the ride.
