SNOW WHITE'S SCARY ADVENTURES
The KenNetti Tribute - Page 1 - Entrance Hall

Temporary Update # 2
February 2, 2011

"The Book of Spells" has opened!

Ever since Disney's Snow White started her frightening adventures in California's Disneyland in 1955, there has been heavy accusations against her dark ride and its counterparts in Disney theme parks. Parents say Snow White's Scary Adventures is too scary for the little ones and complain the lack of furry critters and funny dwarfs. Others say the attraction is just boring.

To appreciate Snow White's Scary Adventures, one must return to the roots of Disney's 1937 animated masterpiece SNOW WHITE AND THE SEVEN DWARFS. One must also know a little bit about the history of dark rides - and the "order of appearance" of the four Snow White attractions (in California's Disneyland, Florida's Walt Disney World, Japan's Tokyo Disneyland, and Disneyland Paris in France). When seen through new eyes, even the most critical opponent might admit that Snow White's Scary Adventures captures the darker essence of Disney's cinematic triumph most beautifully.

KenNetti sincerely hopes that this Tribute helps people to find the true meaning - the dark but wonderfully luminous heart - of Snow White's Scary Adventures. With the exclusive enhanced & expanded photos, the Tribute strives for presenting at least some of the essence of the true enchantment and atmosphere found in the Snow White dark rides - past and present. This is why most of our photos are not as glaringly revealing as most dark ride images on the internet.

Thanks to countless generous people sharing their photos, knowledge and wonderful memories, KenNetti's "SWSA Tribute" has grown from its humble beginnings into enormous proportions, presenting several in-depth analyses and individual pages dedicated to EACH Snow White ride version.
