109. Snow White History - Part 2 - Disneyland's 1955 Snow White & Her Adventures Ride
Description
Why do Disney’s Snow White rides have so many dungeon scenes?
In this episode of Distory, we continue our Snow White series by braving the original Disneyland Snow White ride called Snow White and Her Adventures (or Snow White’s Adventures, it didn’t seem to matter much back then, so pick your favorite). After seeing some concept art that doesn’t stray too far from the feature film, we hear from Arrow Development about the unique development of this opening day ride, find some mural seams, and geek out over a camouflaged operator station. Heading into the ride, we are creeped out by a tiny Dopey, find a connection back to the Haunted Mansion, and meet a skeleton named Oswald. We find some more scary trees, talk about witch variations, and end the episode with Kirk insisting that he will always call the witch a hag (despite Kate’s numerous evidence that the name is incorrect).
