Closing Day Splash Mountain Full POV [4K-60fps] Disneyland California One Last Splash Tribute

754 Views · Posted 10 months ago
Join us for one last splash down the iconic Splash Mountain. The lines reached record wait times, sometimes up to 4 hours, but all we heard was laughter, reminiscing, and occassional singing of "zip-a-dee-doo-da" and "one last time" in unison. An emotional ride for some of us who grew up loving this ride with the exciting drops, catchy tunes and iconic animatronic characters. We particulary enjoyed looking at the creative poses groups of friends/family orchestrated on the drop and it's always great to see our fellow content creators there to document this historic event.

Re-Theme
In June 2020, it was announced that the U.S. versions of the ride would be receiving a new theme based on Disney's 2009 film The Princess and the Frog. The new ride, which will be titled Tiana's Bayou Adventure, is scheduled to open at Disneyland and Magic Kingdom in late 2024. The Magic Kingdom version of Splash Mountain closed on January 23, 2023, while the Disneyland version closed on May 31, 2023. This decision was met with a mixed responses. We are keeping an open mind and wishing this ride will have the Disney magic to make decades of new memories.

Ride Experience:
The hollow tree stump on top of Splash Mountain is modeled after the exterior of Br'er Fox's lair in Song of the South and is called Chickapin Hill. The story of the ride "Br'er Rabbit Leaves Home" is told in the dark ride segment on the meandering river. The flume converts to a roller coaster-style track in complete darkness to transition to "The Laughing Place" caverns. After Br'er Rabbit is captured, the logs ascend up the attraction's predominant hill into the "Tar-Baby" segment (although in the attraction the tar baby is replaced with a hive of bees). Br'er Rabbit, now captured by Br'er Fox, tricks the villain into throwing him into the briar patch; the drop itself mimics Br'er Rabbit's fall. The log descends a fifty-six-foot drop into a briar patch before continuing back into the mountain, where numerous audio-animatronic animals sing a chorus of "Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah." - Wikipedia
