On our first ever trip to WDW I had DS3. I had never been. We get to the MK and I see "Snow White's Scary Adventure." I think to myself "oh it's Disney.....they wouldn't have anything scary." We get on the ride and my son lost it. He clawed me, climbed all over me, screamed, cried. I felt HORRIBLE. Luckily no one was there to witness this. It was bad.
Years later DD3 wanted to go on it. I kept telling her it was scary but she insisted. We rode that ride 5 times in a row at RD. She loved it.
Well, it does say "scary" in the name.
Actually, many of the classic Disney dark rides are on the scary side with some rather dark imagery. They come from the classic "ghost train" type of ride and are intended to offer a little thrill or scare. I was just at Disneyland and it's pretty easy to forget that until you are riding something like Mr. Toad, which is basically a ride about the horrors of drunk driving and a warning about what will happen if you do - the final scene of the ride is literally a depiction of Hell. That's it too. There's no happy ending, it just cuts there. It can be a little disturbing. Those rides like Snow White are actually quite a bit scarier than The Haunted Mansion!
