Snow White's Scary Adventures is a dark ride at the Disneyland, Magic Kingdom, Tokyo Disneyland and Disneyland Paris theme parks around the world. Located in Fantasyland, it is one of the few remaining attractions operational on Disneyland's opening day in 1955. The ride's story is based on Disney's animated film version of the classic story, its very first animated feature film. Snow White's Scary Adventures opened on Disneyland's opening day as Snow White's Adventures. The problem was that Imagineers had designed the ride so that guests felt like they were the main character of the story; in this case, guests were Snow White. Few people understood this and wondered why Snow White wasn't in the Snow White ride. During 1983, all of the Fantasyland dark rides were redesigned slightly, as part of the big Fantasyland overhaul, to include the main characters of the films the attractions represented, and this one was no exception. Thus Snow White is in the attraction today. Also, Tony Baxter was so afraid of messing everything up that he asked for all dark rides to be 25% longer. In this way, he could claim that even if they were not better, they would at least be longer. Guests enter the ride building via the Evil Queen's castle, which looks rather dark and foreboding. Above the entrance to the ride, there is a window and pair of curtains behind it. Every now and then, the Queen parts the curtains and is in plain view of the guests. Next to the entrance door, there is a golden apple. Touch the apple and some bloodcurdling cackles are heard. The guests wind their way through a dungeon inside the castle, passing by a book of poisons. The book reads, "One taste of the poisoned apple and the victim's eyes will close forever in the Sleeping Death..." Like most of the dark rides, there is a mural. The beginning of the ride itself looks like the Dwarfs' cottage. Boarding the ride vehicle, the guests enter the Dwarfs' cottage, where they hear the music and yodeling of one of the film's songs, "The Silly Song". You pass Snow White, who is climbing the stairs to the second floor of the cottage, with some of her animal friends following. The guests then move past the Dwarfs, who are performing "The Silly Song". Doc is on mandolin, Grumpy is on organ, Happy is on accordion, Bashful is on guitar, Sleepy is on fiddle and Dopey is on Sneezy's shoulders. Leaving the cottage, the guests pass by the Queen who says, "Soon I'll be fairest in the land." They then enter the Dwarfs' diamond mine, which is full of jewels of many colors. They then pass under a branch with two vultures perched on it and then enter the Queen's castle. There, they see the Queen's back to them as she stands before her Magic Mirror with her beautiful reflection in it saying, "Magic Mirror on the wall..." Then she snaps around and sees the guests. They see that she has become an ugly, green-eyed, toothless witch with a wart on her nose. "With this disguise, I'll fool them all!" she adds. The guests then pass through the castle, ladened with skeletons. Nearby, the Witch and a raven are in a dungeon area. It seems she'll do anything to become fairest in the land, even if it means creating a poisoned apple for Snow White, which is precisely what she is doing. The guests then see the Witch in a small boat as she heads for the Dwarfs' cottage. Next the guests wend their through a menacing forest, whose trees have ugly faces and its branches look like talon-like hands ready to grab the helpless guests in the cars. Bats fly everywhere and logs look more like snapping crocodiles. The guests then turn towards the cottage of the Seven Dwarfs. The door opens and there's the Witch, who now wants to offer the guests the apple! The guests then turn towards a mountainside where the Dwarfs are hot on the Witch's trail. Nearby, the Witch is trying to roll a boulder down the side of the mountain and crush the pursuing Dwarfs below. But a strike of lightning causes her to tumble to her death. She screams as the guests leave the a
