New special effects in Disneyland's Snow White ride

A place to be entertained. Videos, jokes, games, and more.
Forum rules
At the old Disney Hyperion Studio, the screening room where animators would show animated scenes to Walt for his approval was small, with no ventilation or AC. Not only was it hot, but the animators were nervously awaiting Walt's reaction to their work. Thus, the room became known as the Sweatbox. Even after the Studio moved to Burbank and elegant screening rooms were offered to the staff, the moniker remained.

Now SGT has a sweatbox of our own. This is the place to find and post all entertaining topics such as video links, jokes, games, and the like. A general rule of thumb is that if the thread is meant to be informative (interesting news stories for example), or a topic for discussion (like setting up a park meet) then it should go in the Break Room, but if the intent is to entertain the masses then it's home is The Sweatbox. I'm sure there will be grey areas at times, so if you have doubt as to where a new thread should go, just use your best judgement and the SGT Staff will be glad to move it later if you guessed wrong.

New special effects in Disneyland's Snow White ride

Post by Disneyguy85 » Mon Aug 02, 2010 1:56 pm

I thought that this was worth mentioning;

Recently, new special effects were added to Snow White's Scary Adventures at Disneyland.

The first is in the Queen's transformation scene. There is a new lightning effect that changes the whole throne room from bright to dark.

The second is that there is now rain in the scene with the dwarfs and the hag on the cliff. So now its just like how it was in the movie.

Here is a great video that shows the new effects;

Yeah. I'm hoping that this starts a trend, I'd love to see new special effects in the other Fantasyland dark rides.

Please, PLEASE, don't let them try this at WDW! With the native humidity plus water spray, the mildew will consume this attraction within the first week!

Don't care. Florida mildew will grow on a *photograph* of water!

I remember when the original Snow White had just a silhouette of the witch dipping the apple into the vat of brew. Yeah, I'm old.
