Snow White’s Scary Adventures in Disneyland closed in
January, 2020. If it had stayed open one day more, we’d have enjoyed the
65-year-old dark ride one last time before its major upgrade. The original ride
took guests through a Gustaf Tenggren-inspired creepy forest, the seven dwarfs’
house, and their diamond mine. You saw the wicked queen turn into an old hag
before her magic mirror, you wandered through her dungeon, and then witnessed
her demise. The new ride, Snow White’s Enchanted Wish, gives the princess the
happy ending she’s been missing 65 years. Not everyone is enchanted, though. There
are people saying the kiss that breaks her spell is non-consensual; a poor
example for children. It’s true this isn’t how the Brothers Grimm ended the
tale. But I wouldn’t call their ending family-friendly. If you disapprove, I’ve
the perfect solution for you: don’t ride this ride. There will be more room for
those of us who love it.
