Splash Mountain was a beloved and popular log-flume attraction located in multiple Disney theme parks, including Walt Disney World Resort in Florida. It could be found at Magic Kingdom Park in the Frontierland area. The ride was based on the 1946 Disney film “Song of the South” and featured catchy tunes like “Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah.”
The story of Splash Mountain followed Br’er Rabbit as he embarked on a daring adventure to escape the clutches of Br’er Fox and Br’er Bear. The attraction combined thrilling drops, twists, and turns with charming scenes from the movie. Guests boarded log-shaped boats and journeyed through various scenes, including Br’er Rabbit’s journey from his home in the Briar Patch to the Laughin’ Place, a lively and colorful world.
The highlight of Splash Mountain was the thrilling final plunge down Chick-A-Pin Hill, a five-story drop that ended in a big splash. It was a refreshing and exhilarating way to cool off, especially on a hot Florida day.
The attraction’s design was impressive, with detailed animatronics, scenic backdrops, and lively music, bringing the story and characters to life. The journey through the attraction was filled with laughter, adventure, and a heartwarming message about friendship and bravery.
