/* 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 make 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.
The first noticeable change to Snow White's Scary Adventures was the addition of a third row in the ride vehicles <ref name="Ken"> http://www.kennetti.fi/swscary_12.html </ref>. Inside the attraction itself, the Castle Courtyard scene was expanded so that a vignette showing Snow White lazing in the sun was now present. The Evil Queen in this scene was also moved to a new window and no longer parted the curtains. While the original 1971 Evil Queen figure was still used, she was repositioned to be leaning on the window now<ref name="Ken"/>.

Further in the attraction, inside the Queen's castle, guests now came face to face with Slave in the Magic Mirror before entering the throne room. After making a sharp turn away from the mirror, guests would enter the Throne Room, where the Queen stood in front of the original 1971 Magic Mirror<ref name="Ken"/>. The room itself was more fully adorned in the 1994 version of the attraction, with blue curtains and the queen's raven atop her fluorescent throne.
Deeper in the Queen's Castle, the dungeon was also heavily modified. The second half of the dungeon, where a skeleton was seen chained to the wall, was replaced with the Wicked Witch at her Cauldron (which had previously been featured later in the attraction). In this scene, much of the laboratory equipment was no longer present (although the raven remained).

Finally new dialogue was added to this scene, with the Witch exclaiming "When Snow White bites the apple, she will sleep forever, awakened only by Love's First Kiss"<ref name="Ken"/>.
Following the dungeon scene, entirely new scenes were added to the 1994 version of Snow White's Scary Adventures. First, the Huntsman was featured, warning Snow White to run into the woods. Further ahead, Snow White was added, terrified in the forest.
