Snow White's Scary Adventures was an attraction in [[Fantasyland]] at the [[Magic Kingdom]].
==Attraction History==
When Disney was initially planning out Walt Disney World's Fantasyland, Snow White's Scary Adventures originally opened as was not going to be included in the new park. Although a popular Disneyland ride since 1955, Imagineers decided that they did not want to simply copy Disneyland's Fantasyland dark rides (Snow White's Adventures on October 1, 1971 with the rest of the [[Magic KingdomMr. Toad's Wild Ride]]. Like many of the Magic Kingdom, and [[Peter Pan's opening day attractionsFlight]]) <ref name= "Korkis"> This information comes Imagineer Tony Baxter, as interviewed here: https://allears.net/wdw-chronicles-year-one-the-wdw-that-almost-was/ </ref>. Instead, Disney planned on replacing Snow White had originally been 's Adventures with a Disneyland Sleeping Beauty attraction, and was copied for inclusion that would have had guests come face to face with Maleficent in her dragon form <ref name="Korkis"/>. Imagineers were overruled by Roy O. Disneyhowever, when the later stipulated that the Fantasyland dark rides be brought into the Magic Kingdom <ref name="Korkis"/>, and thus Snow White's newest parkAdventures opened with the rest of the Magic Kingdom on October 1, 1971 <ref name="widen"> http://www.omniluxe.net/wyw/swa.htm </ref>.
While Snow White's Adventures proved to be popular upon its opening, the attraction was the frequent target of complaints by guests. Like its Disneyland counterpart, the original version of Snow White's Adventures did not feature the title character at all. Instead, the attraction was designed so that guests took the place of the film's heroine and experienced the events as if they were Snow White. Because of the esoteric approach that Imagineers took to telling the attraction's story, many guests did not understand that they were essentially Snow White's stand in, and frequently asked where the princess was. The second complaint that was often lofted at the attraction, was that it was simply too scary. The ethos of Snow White's Adventures was dark and menacing, a tone that many guests did not expect from a Fantasyland dark ride.
In response to guest concerns about the frightening nature of Snow White's Adventures, Disney attempted two remedies in order to warn guests. The first change came in 1983 when Disney renamed began referring to the attraction as "Snow White's Scary Adventures"<ref name="widen"/>. This rename, in conjunction with the addition of a sing warning guests to "beware the Wicked Witch" as she may frighten small children's on the ride, was Disney's attempt to prepare guests for the dark tone of the attractionthat awaited guests<ref name="widen"/>.===1994 Refurbishment===The original version of Snow White's Scary Adventures continued to run until the Fall of 1994, when the attraction closed for refurbishment. During the closure of the attraction, Disney attempted to answer the two complaints that often plagued Snow White's Scary Adventures. To this end, a large number of changes were made that changed both the story the attraction told, as well as its ethos.

Inside the attractionitself, Disney attempted to make answer the two complaints Castle Courtyard scene was expanded so that often plagued a vignette showing Snow White's Scary Adventureslazing in the sun was now present. To The Evil Queen in this end, scene was also moved to a large number of changes were made that changed both new window and no longer parted the story curtains.

==Attraction Plot==
===Original Version (1971-1994)===
Snow White's Scary Adventures began in the Evil Queen's Castle Courtyard. Here, guests could see a miniature version of the Wishing Well that was seen in the original 1937 film. Here, guests could hear while Snow White singing sang the song "I'm Wishing"in the background.
After circling the Wishing Well, guests guest's ride vehicle would head towards the Seven Dwarfs Cottage, before making a "u-turn" and approaching the Evil Queen standing in the window. As guests approached, the Queen would part her windows curtains and glare menacing menacingly below. Guests would then continue forward, entering the castle and the Queen's Throne Room. In this room, guests saw the Queen transform before their eyes into the Wicked Witch. In front of her Magic Mirror, the Queen would begin "Mirror, Mirror on the Wall" before transforming into the hideous hag and screeching "I am the fairest one of all!"[[Image:SnowWhiteFigure2.jpg|thumb|400px|The Wicked Witch in the 1971 version of Snow White's Adventures]].
Getting away from the Witch, and moving farther into the castle, guests entered the Queen's Dungeon. Here, the they passed a series of skeletons who moved their jaws and warned guests to escape while they still could.
Ignoring the skeleton's warnings and moving on in the castle, guests passed by the Wicked Witch's lab equipment, as her pet raven sat watching, perched atop a skull. Further into the scene, the Wicked Witch could be see seen at her cauldron, preparing her poison apple for Snow White. As guests passed the Witch, she would cackle "Have an apple, dearie?". The ride vehicles would then pass under a falling lab shelf, escaping just before being hit, and exiting the castle. Outside the Queen's Castle, guests found themselves on a lake at the edge of a forest. Here the Wicked Witch would float by on a boat, offering her poison apple to guests.
