The Wicked Witch from the Snow White Ride in Disneyland

Wicked Witch from Snow White Ride

Today's Daily Disneyland photo is from the Snow White ride and it features the Wicked Witch.  When the ride first opened the characters were all wooden cuts out painted with fluorescent paint and black lights were throughout the ride. This is one reason why these are called Dark Rides, they were dark inside but they also had to be dark for the black lights to work.  This is one of the few rides that was operating on the first day Disneyland was opened.  Although it has changed a lot over the years it is still a great ride.
