Location of ALL America Sings Animatronics in Splash Mountain

[@DisneylandMusician]

Thank you for all the comments on this video! Some of you pointed out that I missed a few, so I'll put them here: Weasles in the Laughing place are the weasles in each of the America sings scenes that pop out Roadrunner from "Home on the Range" is before, and to the left side, of the pushcart in "How Do You Do"

While he didn’t make it to America Sings, the Rock and Roll Stork from the finale also got a second life Supposedly, he was “recycled” in such a way for many years where he was used to train imagineers on how to program Audio Animatronics; a “final exam” of sorts.

I love that Splash Mountain found a way to rework these characters into the ride. Its a genius use of retired assets and thanks to the ride sticking to Marc Davis's style it even made that transition to Splash better. I kinda considered doing a similar thing at one time in my dark ride project with some Bear-y Tales props. But I ended up going a different direction with that so we didn't do it. Well, besides a few props ;)

I'd be shocked if any if all of these animatronics survived the retheme. Incidentally, if you go online, you can find some concept art for Splash Mountain featuring America Sings characters who didn't make it into the ride (such as the Pig Waiter, the snake from "Home on the Range", and the Rock 'n' Roll Frog).

[@luanloud9454]

Lol

[@maxhealy3697]

the waiter pig ended up in the ride during initial show testing. it was decided that his spinning mechanism positioned him too close to the guests so Dave Fiten had him and a few other figures moved around and removed. hence the replacement with the goose

[@SlushysSecret]

I feel as if only the gator trio, frogs, raccoon, porcupine, and possibly the geese will stay since they look like they would fit in with the retheme

[@eveningstarproductions]

Wasn't the rock and roll frog repurposed into that guitar frog next to one of the first lift hills? That's what I assumed anyways

[@Isaiahafan10]

This was really smart reusing these animatronics since they probably saved a fortune and ended up making one of the greatest theme park rides of all time. It's really completely mind-blowing that such a univerally loved ride was changed for reasons that don't even make sense.

[@trevorpacelli8056]

Except the reason for changing the ride makes perfect sense. It's because the movie the ride is based on is extremely racist and it's best that there isn't any significant part of the parks dedicated to it.

[@SirBuzz]

@@trevorpacelli8056 You clearly haven't seen the film if you think it's racist.

@@trevorpacelli8056 Yes, I have. YOU clearly haven't.

[@trevorpacelli8056]

@SirBuzz No, but I've seen plenty about it, including clips from the film itself and videos talking about it. The entire premise of the film is all about portraying Black slaves as happy to do their work, which history proves was absolutely not the case. The White boy's relationship with Uncle Remus is depicted in a way that makes Remus out more to be a "magical negro" who tells whimsical tales for the White boy's pleasure. The animal characters also all speak in dialects that are heavily inspired by minstrel archetypes of the time, with the tar baby scene meant to be a reference to blackface. Apparently, even without seeing the movie in its entirety, I still understand it better than you do.

[@hiridavidfeign]

This is great! I loved seeing the clips from the show. Thanks!

[@MarielaHerrera-y4j]

all characters that were not reused in splash mountain (if I'm wrong, correct me) -all sam and olie animatronics -the fox on the train tracks (I think) -sombrero dog -the animals from home in the range (I don't know what they are exactly) -the police dog -the OI gray mare -the tenor fox -the pig waiter -2 geese dancing cancan -the rock stork -hound -hippie stork -rock frog -the 2 motorcycle storks It was difficult to make this list. Like I said, if I'm wrong, let me know.😅😅

[@janetplanet4595]

It would be a big shame to lose all these, and personally a waste of artistic talent and resources, as well as environmentally bad, If I see them replaced by screens and lame effects I'm going to boo it out loud. Almost all of these can fit in the new theme and if not at least move them to other rides. The Vultures could fit in the Haunted Mansion or Thunder Mountain easily. Even Snow White or Pirates, or the Jungle Cruise without clothes. Hell They can even sing backup in the Tiki Room! Just don't trash them and disappoint EVERYONE again

[@luanloud9454]

Yes

[@richardvg7670]

@ janetplanet4595. I couldn't agree more just like Chuck-E-Cheeses replacing their animatronics with a video screen and the animatronics are what made Cec in the first place this was such an entertaining time. And I really wish there was a DeLorean time machine because I would love to go back and see this (shame I didn't know about it when I was a kid/ pup during this time period was open maybe could have talked my parents into going there)

I always wanted someone to do video on where the America Sings animatronics are in Splash Mountain, so I’m very happy to see it finally done. However, I’m kinda surprised you didn’t mention how a few of the Sam and Ollie animatronics are in Splash Mountain. For example, the first Brer Fox figure was originally the Sam animatronic from either the beginning of the end of America Sings. And the first Brer Rabbit figure was the Ollie animatronic from act 2.

Even though America sings closed, there's still the stars of another attraction I hope there used in. Another attraction one day. since Splash Mountain is getting replaced

[@TrustySteeringWheelTray]

@@PeterPumpkinEater75 Yeah, these characters were created when America Sings opened in 1974. That's nearly 50 years ago now. At some point they just no longer will be able to be used on an everyday ride like this. However, I definitely hope Disney preserves them and doesn't just junk them. Maybe for like an exhibit or something.

[@PeterPumpkinEater75]

@@TrustySteeringWheelTray fingers crossed they are kept for historical purposes and not scrapped, the main issue was that they weren’t originally designed to be surrounded by huge amounts of water and to be running constantly all day without breaks. Obviously in the carousel theatre the characters performed on intervals and were kept in a temperature regulated building, in splash they were put in a humid building extremely close to water and kept on a daily performance cycle. They had problems with constant breakdowns and such even in the mid 90s when the ride was only a few years old, shows like the country bear jamboree at magic kingdom which is now 52 years old has barley any of the issues the america sings characters now face, it’s all down to the harsh conditions within the ride.
