Because my son has ridden it so many times (3,423 times as of last weekend), they are going to do something special for him either just before he goes on or just after he goes off for the last ride. We are still working that out. (Disney has been absolutely awesome to my son over the years, and...

We will be there on the 31st, all evening and right up to close. Working with Disney to create some kind of special moment for Ben, although he truly does not understand the concept that his ride is going away forever. We are really dreading the first visit to the park after the ride closes. I...

SW1K-The Full Story - In which Benjamin goes on his 1,000th ride on Snow White's Scary Adventures, joined by Snow White herself. Video of the actual ride, shot by WDWMagic members tk421-sw and thimblekisses (I have no idea if they are still around these days). SW2K-The Whole Story - In...

No, he doesn't have any concept of the ride closing. He doesn't understand when a store is closed or when McDonalds can't make fries because they are still serving breakfast. This is probably going to be a very difficult summer.

It sends the under 4's screaming into a crying frenzy because it's too scary with the witch... Really? Maybe the previous version, sure, where the rider was cast in the role of Snow White and almost the entire ride consisted of you being relentlessly pursued by the witch. But that changed...

Nah, he's not going to like the mine coaster at all, I am almost certain. But I think he is going to LOVE the Little Mermaid ride when it opens.

I don't know if there will be any official ceremony at the closing, but I will definitely be there with my son that night right up until closing. I've been on that thing nearly 3,400 times with him. It's going to be a very sad night.

Well, it's gonna be tough. Especially the first time we are in the park after it closes. Two years ago I would have said it is going to be a disaster. But the good news is, although he still loves the ride and goes on it every time we are in the part it is no longer his *first* destination. It...

Yeah, my son is autistic as well. It's a bit of an understatement to say he loves this ride. The only silver lining is that in the past few years he has been spending more and more time in other parts of the park. I know he is going to love the Little Mermaid ride when it opens, but it looks...

My son is going to be very, very sad. He doesn't go on the ride nearly as much as he used to, but he will definitely miss it. His current ride count is 3,315. I am sure we will be in the park that night to say goodbye to the ride.

He didn't want to go much over the summer, which really I can't fault him for. Way too hot and crowded. Lately he has become fascinated with the Fantasia store inside the Contemporary, to the point where he would rather hang out there and look at the giant figures than actually go to the park...

Starting Count One suggestion: add a feature to "prime the pump" with an existing count. This app is going to be extremely handy for counting my son's rides on SWSA (he is currently up to 3,104), but to use this app I have to sit here and manually click the Count button that many times to...

We log it after each visit. I keep the running tally up on my blog, and I also tweet the number after each visit. I was using the hashtag #sw3k but now I have moved to #sw4k.

The 3,000th ride happened today, right on schedule.

We are a definite go tomorrow for Ben's 3,000th ride on Snow White's Scary Adventures. Ben and I will be arriving in the park earlier in the day, the rest of the family will meet up with us for the 3:00 parade, and then after the parade there will be something private at City Hall for Ben...

Here we are again.... Next weekend, on Saturday, January 9th, my son will be riding Snow White's Scary Adventures for the 3,000th time. For anyone interested in the back story, here are previous threads on: SW1K - http://forums.wdwmagic.com/showthread.php?t=54480 SW1K Redux -...

Yeah, it pretty much is. Everyone in Fantasyland knows him on sight. For the back story, you can read my account of his 2,000th ride here: http://forums.wdwmagic.com/showthread.php?t=286202 Plans are already in motion for his 3,000th ride (SW3K), which will probably happen in December.

My son Benjamin definitely votes for Snow White. :lol: (2,933 rides and counting....)

I would just like to officially say that Pumbas Nakasak is, and has been, my favorite member on this board for as long as I have been here. Pure genius. :goodnevil

I have been in that position with my (autistic) son, on more than one occasion. Thankfully he doesn't have nearly as many meltdowns these days, but a few weeks ago I had to physically pick him up, put him over my shoulder, and carry him out of the line for Peter Pan because he started randomly...
