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 park. Although a popular Disneyland ride since 1955, Imagineers decided that they did not want to simply copy Disneyland's Fantasyland dark rides including Snow White's Adventures , Mr. Toad's Wild Ride, and Peter Pan's Flight <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 October 1replacing Snow White's Adventures with a Sleeping Beauty attraction that would have had guests come face to face with Maleficent in her dragon form <ref name="Korkis"/>. Imagineers were overruled by Roy O. Disney however, 1971 when the later stipulated that the Fantasyland dark rides be copied into the Magic Kingdom <ref name="Korkis"/>, and thus Snow White's Adventures opened with the rest of the [[Magic Kingdom]] on October 1, 1971 <ref name="widen"> http://www.omniluxe.net/wyw/swa.htm </ref>. Like many of the Magic Kingdom's opening day attractions, Snow White had originally been a Disneyland attraction, and was copied for inclusion in Disney's newest park.
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.
