A very special member of that group was Ben, an autistic individual (now 18) who has been riding this attraction regularly for the last ten years, because it was the ONE attraction that would bring him out of his shell more than any other. He had amassed thousands of rides, and the Cast Members knew him well.
For the ride's last day, Ben got a huge surprise: a private visit with Snow White, and then a journey with her on the dark ride.
Ben and his family were also the very last riders on the attraction when it closed at 10pm that day. His all-time total was exactly 3,500 rides on the attraction.
Go well, Ben, and go well, Snow White. We will miss you.
Here's how the attraction looked the next day:
