The version of the Snow White dark ride that opened along with Disneyland on July 17, 1955, uniquely titled "Snow White and Her Adventures", was designed by Claude Coats and Ken Anderson, both of whom were largely responsible for the look of the 1937 feature film. The original ride was slightly shorter than the version that replaced it, contained cruder animation and audio, and relied far more on two-dimensional plywood "flats" for scenery than any other iteration of the attraction. Quite notably, Snow White herself did not appear in the ride initially, as riders were meant to assume the role and perspective of the titular character themselves. This was also true for the other two opening-day dark rides, Mr. Toad's Wild Ride and Peter Pan's Flight, but in the case of "Snow White" in particular, the concept apparently never caught on with most guests, and many were confused as to why the character of Snow White was not actually seen in the attraction. In response, a single Snow White figure was eventually added to one of the interior scenes at some point in the 1960s or early 1970s, as photographic evidence suggests.
