This isn't anything major, but I just found some dark ride interior shots on Jason Schultz's Parkendium archive that I had never seen before: https://mediagraph.io/parkendium/explore For some reason, I'm unable to locate the GorillasDon'tBlog post that this shot below was taken from, even...

I just noticed that the sound used for the creaking timbers in WDW's 1971 Snow White was also used in Pirates of the Caribbean at Disneyland prior to the 2006 update, specifically in the room at the end with the rotting overhead floorboards. There's an unofficial CD titled "Pirates of the...

To clear up any confusion, the sound I thought I was hearing at 0:54/0:55 in the recording (which I'm still under the impression is at the cauldron scene) was a very muffled, lower pitched "Have an apple, dearie?" that sounds nothing like any other version of that line. Then, the muffled noise...

Does this ring any bells? This is from the little Fantasyland dark ride montage from Forty Pounds of Trouble, and there's certainly a lot of emphasis on the word "apple," as with your recollection. I've never been sure if this was actually used in the ride, but it's now looking more and more...

That's three points for pillar that I've seen now, the "third" being the Ken Anderson illustration of the pillar scene, whose accompanying rhyme explicitly states that the Witch says, "Have an apple, dearie?" at that location. What do you make of the muffled sound at 0:54 in the recording, and...

Behind the cauldron scene, you mean?

I just discovered that the "Have an apple, dearie" that Stefano said he was able to make out at 1:05 in the 1972 recording is not the same "Have an apple, dearie" that I always thought I heard at the cauldron scene at 0:54/0:55. The line I hear at the cauldron is delivered with a subdued...

There's also this comment he posted on one of Benjamin Roberson's Snow White audio videos: He very clearly remembers the Witch's laugh at the cauldron (where I personally hear a barely audible "Have an apple, dearie?" in the 1972 recording) and her cackling at the cottage door, though the...

From my YouTube upload of the 1972 Snow White recording: This is an exchange between me (GoatPrince) and a commenter who actually rode the original Snow White. This guy provided a lot of detail as to the ride's audio and suggested that the recording is missing a few things, though it's hard...

I came up with this theoretical audio revamp of pre-1983 Snow White to give more substance to the very bare-bones sound design of the original ride. All of the ride's audio is changed here except for the Witch's dialogue and laughter. Maybe if things had gone a bit differently, this could have...

This technically doesn't have anything to do with the pre-1983 California dark rides, but I just found this POV of Tokyo Snow White (the best existing version of the attraction) featuring a ride stop in the Dwarfs' mine. If you didn't know, the sound effects used in the Tokyo mine scene (the...

The editing is very crusty, and the sound of Smee's gunfire nearly made me go deaf, but I appreciate the attempt at recreating the bleed-through of the Hook/Smee dialogue throughout the whole ride.

Very early concept illustration for Snow White's Adventures, which I'm sure everyone here has seen before: I'm bringing this up because I find it interesting how this early concept is actually more similar to the later interpretations of the Snow White ride than what was actually made in...

To better visualize this theoretical version of the ride, I thought it would be useful to write a Wikipedia-esque description of the entire attraction with all of my proposed changes in place, as if nothing is out of the ordinary: "Guests enter the attraction via a replica of Toad Hall, the...

When it comes to my very niche interest in the pre-1983 Fantasyland dark rides, one of my favorite things to do is listen to the Magic Joe recordings from the 1970s and intentionally focus my ears on the many sound effects bleeding through the walls from other scenes. The reason for this is not...

Some really good shots of Toad's exterior and loading queue circa 1980: All of the canvas awnings in Fantasyland were redesigned to look a bit less tacky at some point in 1976 or 1977, and Toad was no exception. Notice the less garish color palette of the exterior and the removal of noisy...

Those black and white photos are the classic ones featured in the "E" Ticket issue on Snow White, as well as KenNetti. They were likely taken prior to the park's opening, and seven of the thirteen currently serve as the only available photographic evidence of their respective part of the ride...

There are still quite a few parts of the original Alice ride that I've never seen a photo of, namely the doorknob, the majority of the Tulgey Wood scene (the eyes at the beginning and anything after the birdcage bird), the beginning of the Mad Tea Party scene with the "Mad Hatter" sign, and the...

Here's an additional shot of the original hell scene in Toad that I never got around to posting. Good coloration, but nothing necessarily new.

Thx bruv. Is there anything in particular that you like about it, or anything that you would have done differently?
