Splash-Mountain

Next to Thunder-Mountain In the Magic-Kingdom

As you make your way around Frontierland... you will begin to hear screams of delight.

Look up and you'll see the famous water drop of Splash Mountain.. in the distance! Lynn and I would place this as a high priority attraction..a one you must do!

This is the quintessential... Disney attraction..theme.. audio..animatronics.. laughs.. thrills and a happy ending!

The Splash Mountain attraction is based on Walt Disney's 1946 classic "Song of the South."

Crafty Brer Rabbit is pursued by Brer Fox.. and his lumbering cohort.... Brer Bear through swamps and woods all the way to the Laughin' Place!

The long queue takes you through the insides of Chickapin Hill "You Will Get Wet"...consider getting a fast-pass!...

Splash Mountain... until you reach the loading zone.

An eight-passenger log..four rows of two seats hollowed out by sharp-toothed beavers... will carry you on your 11 minute journey along the flume....WOW..EXCELLENT..a must do!

Splash Mountain....The story goes that against the advice of Mr. Bluebird.... Brer Rabbit.... leaves his briar patch home in search of adventure.

Brer Fox and Brer Bear.... seize this opportunity and begin their legendary pursuit of the rabbit.

At first.. Brer Rabbit.. outwits his pursuers... but as you proceed you soon discover Brer Rabbit is heading for trouble.

For the grand finale... you plunge with Brer Rabbit from the top of Chickapin Hill... down five stories into the briar patch.

Laugh... clap and sing aloud familiar songs such as... "How Do You Do....Everybody's Got a Laughin Place.... and "Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah."

Queues.. for Splash Mountain build the minute the park opens... especially in warmer weather during high summer!

It is highly recommended you use FAST-PASS!

This ride contains a five-story drop with descent speeds of 40 mph.

Throughout the entire attraction you will encounter three lifts and five drops....wow this is great..I'm sure you will love Spalsh-Mountain as much as we do!

You WILL get wet on this ride!.... To minimize your exposure... you might want to wear a rain poncho... or ask to be seated in the middle of the log.

If you want to get really wet.. though... ask to sit up front!

Those under 40 inches may not ride.

People in a wheelchairs must transfer out to ride Splash Mountain.

Hidden Mickey Alert:-

"Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah" ..scene—lying on his back in the pink clouds to the right of the riverboat.

After exiting the ride you'll find Brer Rabbit's house, a place where kids can play that also makes a great photo op!..

We often find Characters around this attraction..so grab your autograph book!

Weather at Splash-Mountain

Be sure to view your photo at Splashdown Photos as you exit.

If you decide to purchase your photo... remember you can use Disney Package Delivery... to have the photo sent either to your resort or the main entrance of the park so you don't have to lug it around.

There is a bridge where you can watch your family and friends plummet down Chickapin Hill and wind their way to the conclusion of the attraction...another spot to capture your family..on camera!

This is a great place for photos!.. But be aware.. however.. that splashes from the plummet can sometimes soak the viewing area... so be alert!..don't get caught out!

The closest place for snacks or meals in the vicinity of Splash Mountain is Pecos Bill's.

SHOPPING

The whimsically outfitted Briar Patch store has Splash Mountain logo merchandise along with Tigger and Pooh items...there are plenty of shops dotted throughout the theme park where you can pick up the gifts and memorabilia..associated with Magic-kingdom.

Did you know?

More than 65 Audio-Animatronics fill the attraction.. which also has one of the largest animated props in the finale.

The Showboat is 36 feet wide and 22 feet high.

It rocks back and forth as a cast of 12 audio-animatronics sing and dance to "Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah."

To bring the classic Disney story "Song of the South" ..to life.

Walt Disney Imagineers created a magnificent mountain chock-full of backwoods swamps... bayous and waterfalls.

The concrete flume course is more than 2,600 feet long... or about half a mile.
