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

[Brer Oswald]

I think they re actually trying to be obnoxious with this one.

They HAVE to be. It’s purposely pointless.

And as bad as these are “Enchanted Wish” is worse. At least these make sense.

I don’t know. The Toad and Peter Pan titles have very little to do with the general plot of the ride, similar to “Enchanted Wish” But a lot longer overall.

Am I the only one that doesn't hate the name? As long as the facade is tastefully done (and doesn't resemble the new castle look) and the new show scenes are reminiscent of old school dark rides with some modern lighting/effect updates I'll be happy.

Every person that's ridden the ride since 83 has walked off going "what the heck was that ending". It was hardly the pinnacle of Fantasylands dark rides- and is the only one wdi might actually be able to improve.

One of the rare times I disagree with you haha. I hate the name. Not only because it doesn’t make sense (don’t understand how a wish in and of itself is enchanted) but it also just doesn’t work as an attraction name. So it’s Snow Whites wish: the ride? Anyway, I’m positive I’ll like the actual ride more than the name. Snow White was never a must do for me. The exterior being Princess-ified has always been the biggest loss for me. I’ll reserve judgment until I ride but I hope we didn’t lose a ride that did one thing really well for a condensed book report ride. Based on Disney’s recent work, I don’t have high hopes. Sucks to lose the final cliff scene too.

Then when you also look at this from a resort perspective it’s one more ride moved over from the weird/ scary/ macabre column to the Princess or irreverent column. Haunted Mansion for 8 months a year is pretty much all that’s left now that Snow is enchanted and TOT is gone. Then soon we may also have Splash moved into the Princess column too

I don’t hate the name! Maybe you have me on ignore

I’m hopeful for the refurb but a little wary only because adding the promising new scenes means losing some old scenes that I liked, and probably some mood. I’m predicting four steps forward and three steps back.

 

[Little Green Men]

I do agree the ending was a big as someone used to the WDW version

My friend, don't worry- you're not on ignore. I simply missed your post where you say it isn't that bad of a name.

It feels weird not being in sync on this one my man, though I also think I'm just sorta numb when it comes to creative decisions at Disneyland at the moment- both due to Splash, and the closures. I certainly don't care like I did back in January.

The fact a Snow White ride remains in any form, as opposed to getting replaced with a Tangled ride or something, is a win in and of itself.

Lol @ it feels weird not to be in sync. Such a 2020 thing.

When it gets to the point where you don’t mind Snow being renamed with the word “enchanted” in the title, burn out is starting and frustration is turning into nonchalant thoughts.

If it's all just speculation, then how can it be taken seriously?

Anything that has not been directly confirmed by Disney should be taken as a rumor. Including everything I say.

So, the rumor is that right after the cauldron scene, it goes straight to a happy forest scene? And that's the last we see of the Queen/Witch in the ride?

***rumor*** has it that this is not what happens.

They HAVE to be. It’s purposely pointless.

The new attraction name is pointless? One of the movies most notable scenes is her making wishes at her wishing well longing for her her prince..."I'm wishing, for the one I love, to find me today".. and in the new refurb, her wish finally comes true with her having a happy ending w Ferdinand... So the ride is now supposedly called "Snow White's Enchanted Wish" bc thats the premise of the ride.. for her wish to finally come true in the dl version of the attraction.

Love it or hate it, the rumored name makes sense and fits the Snow White theme perfectly.. It's short, simple, references the movie, and is inviting.. plus families with little children can now be inspired to continue their story across the way at Snow's wishing well by the castle... it's kind of perfect to me.. not perfect for me.. but to me.. because this refurb was mainly for children to have a more enjoyable experience... sometimes we forget that.

some of you take this all far too seriously

Agreed

 

[BubbaisSleep]

You guys are acting like they changed the name to Snow’s Enchanted Critter Minecart Adventure.

 

[Californian Elitist]

Why does it mean fans are “taking this too seriously” if they don’t like something like a name change?

If folks don’t like the potential name, then they don’t like it.

 

[Brer Oswald]

So let’s go over what the Snow White Ride is going to be. Maybe you’ll see her at the beginning making a wish at the fountain? Then it’ll go through the forest, the Dwarfs cottage, the Queen’s Castle (maybe not in that order, but the bulk of the ride will be in these areas). And then Snow White will be kissed and have her happily ever after.

How much of that has to do with her “Enchanted” Wish? The first and the last scenes. The Queen, The Dwarfs, And the forest don’t have any part of that wish. The ride name doesn’t make any sense, and that’s why it’s pointless.

Peter Pan’s Flight - You fly through the attraction

Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride - A Wild car ride through London

Pinocchio’s Daring Journey - An intense journey through many perils.

Alice in Wonderland - It’s Alice, in Wonderland.

Snow White’s (Scary) Adventures - It was an adventure all right. And it still probably is.

It's always amazing how dismissing the work is so often used as a defense. If it doesn't matter, why change it? Why put in the effort to change it? These things are not just done on a whim or slayed together by someone. Time, money and effort go into them, so they are something that is taken seriously.
