“Board a mine cart to travel through the scary adventures of Snow White,
but look out for the Wicked Witch!” (July 17, 1955—Present) BACKSTORY: Originally titled “Snow White’s Adventures.” Imagineers designed the ride so that guests felt like they were Snow White. Few understood this and wondered why Snow White wasn’t in the ride. During 1983, all of the Fantasyland dark rides were redesigned slightly to include the main characters of the films the attractions represented. Previous reports have claimed that Snow was not added until 1983, however, photographic evidence shown below from August 1972 proves differently. Tony Baxter, Sr. VP of Creative Development at Disney Imagineering, was so afraid of messing up that he requested all dark rides be 25% longer allowing that even if they weren’t better, they’d at least be longer. The ride vehicles are mine cars named after the Seven Dwarfs. The Dwarfs in the cottage scene are: Doc on mandolin, Grumpy on organ (the organ’s pipes feature wood-carved animals that shove nuts in their mouths), Happy on the bass, Bashful on the accordion, Sleepy on fiddle, and Dopey is on Sneezy’s shoulders. In the scene when the Witch offers the guests the poisoned apple, guests consistently stole the apple. When Fantasyland reopened in 1983, a hologram solved the problem.For a fantastic resource on this dark ride, click to visit KenNetti’s website.
