Disneyland Trip Report: Fantasyland Dark Rides, Pt. 3
Although the lines are typically short, Snow White's Scary Adventures ranks a close second to Peter Pan's Flight as one of my favorite Fantasyland Dark rides. I love the ominous presence of the Evil Queen at the entrance:

I love that this ride has so many creepy elements... it is still one of my favorites. Beautiful pics as always.
ReplyDeleteI remember in 1983 when first riding the redesigned dark rides in the New Fantasyland, that acid tongue effect impressed me so much. I think the opening of New Fantasyland was when Disneyland peaked for me. Great wrap-up of the dark ride classics. Thanks for posting these.
