Splash
Mountain Fun Fact: Some of the animatronics used
in Splash Mountain were taken from the old "America
Sings" attraction at Disneyland.
One of the Magic Kingdom's major attractions is Splash Mountain.
Based on the 1946 Walt Disney film, "Song of the South",
this ride features the antics of Brer Fox and Brer Bear's
attempts to catch the wily Brer Rabbit as he looks for his
laughing place. Over 100 Audio-animatronic figures entertain
you as your log boat winds its way through caves, swamps
and bayous, and down three minor drops before climaxing
with a 52 foot plunge through the briar patch after Brer
Rabbit outfoxes Brer Fox. A camera captures the look of
fearful delight on your faces as you enter the final plunge.
These pictures are displayed at the end of the ride and
are available for purchase. This water flume adventure is
just under 12 minutes in length. Due to the overwhelming
popularity of this ride however, the lineups to get in could
be much longer than the ride itself.
On
busy days long winding queues are opened, beginning outside
in partial shade and leading into the cool cavern where
your journey begins. While the ride is fun for guests of
all ages, a height restriction of 40" is in effect.
Parents may use the "switching off" option. There
is a very good chance that you'll get wet so be prepared.
While it may be refreshing on hot days, wet clothes can
get a little chilly on cooler evenings.
Splash
Mountain TIP: One of the best times to ride Splash Mountain is during
parades, daytime or nighttime.
Guests in wheelchairs must be able to transfer to the log
boats in order to ride this.
*Fast

Mountain.
