Daily Distraction- Thursday 5/31

Thursday 5/31

Today's Distraction is a Double since today we're all saying a fond goodbye to a classic Disney World attraction. Today is the last day of operations for "Snow Whites Scary Adventures" at the Magic Kingdom, if you can I suggest you go today and get your last ride on a classic attraction before it disappears into the halls of history.  Later this week I'll post up some of my own photos and some ride-threw video dedicated to Snow White.

Today's real distraction comes from a website which focuses on old amusement parks from the past. Defunct Amusement Parks is a great list and picture archive of the parks our parents and grandparents grew up going to. From the small  local jobs to much larger parks which have also disappeared into the halls of history. Places like Palisades Park and Dogpatch USA.  So go and take a look, some of these are sad but beautiful at the same time. One of these days I'll get down to some of these places, the ones that are still standing but not operating to explore them!

Snow Whites Scary Adventures- Last Day

Well Friends,
It's coming quickly. The very last day for a Disney original dark ride, Snow White's Scary Adventures shall close forever on May 31st, 2012. It's being replaced by what? Yeah, it's nothing good.
Not a new ride. Not even anything most of us honestly care about.

Princess Fairytale Hall is will take the place of Snow White. A Meet and Greet area for the Disney Princesses and "and visiting royalty". While I like the idea of putting all the princesses in one area I don't agree with taking out a classic attraction to facilitate it, even if said princess the ride is themed on is getting a new attraction.
