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

[SplashGhost]

Hahaha! That sounds like an honest announcement! Current Disney is "too cool" to be honest with people. They think lying is the way to win people over. They also thought that piggy backing off a social movement to announce the overlay they created a year prior to sell more toys, food, and merchandise was the best option.

Disney's PR never comes close to feeling honest, it is so obviously corporate approved BS that no one should take it seriously.

Confirmation of the attractions new name or homage to its past?

At least the witch is featured prominently.

I knew they were gonna remove the word 'scary'. for shame.

 

[Brer Panther]

Wasn't the original name "Snow White and Her Adventures" as opposed to "Snow White's Adventures"?

Yep. I don’t believe the Disneyland version has ever been under the name of “Snow White’s Adventures”. Only WDW and Tokyo’s have.

You knew they were going to remove a word that was never there?! Amazing!!

Exhibit A

You're in the Disneyland forum. Its members suffer simultaneously from PTSD and Stockholm Syndrome. Ignore them.

Seems like Snow White's Adventures was the preferred name on guide maps.
From 1958:

1969:

A 1977 ticket with a (scary) added for good measure::

From 1979 once again with a (scary) tacked on:

As far as I'm aware the sign never changed, here's a picture from 1968 with the Snow White And Her Adventures name:

Don't know what guidebooks called it, oldest Disneyland book I have Disneyland: The First Quarter Century doesn't seem to mention it at all.
As a bonus here's a picture of Snow White's old loading station with a ride operator dressed as Snow white:

... pretty sure the word was there. Amazing isn't it?

It must’ve hidden itself when I was there. No wonder I was complaining about “Adventures” being off Center.

Ignore Penguin’s comment. They frequent the Disneyland forum, but not Disneyland itself. And it shows sometimes. Lol.

Very true. Normally I’d let stuff like that pass, but that just felt like blatant ignorance.

I'd say it's just an homage to the past, given the medieval tent look.

Penguin enjoys hopping from one thread to the next looking to mock various members and none of us here knows why.

As soon as the table turns on him, he’s nowhere to be seen.

I've noticed that as well.

I’ve been noticing that. It’s a shame.

Well, then, I stand corrected. I should have said the attraction never had 'scary'... until more recently.

Since it was the 1983 redesign which added "scary."

None of the other parks ever had "scary" in the ride's name, just like DL never had it originally.

But I guess y'all don't have a history with the park.

There. That’s all your response needed.

Huh? What does that mean?
