Mapping Splash Mountain! Animated Blueprints & Secrets With POV | Disneyland

We map a point of view, front seat ride on (the now defunct) Splash Mountain at Disneyland. We use blueprints with multiple layers and animate Brer Rabbit cruising around the flumes, and we point out cool ride system facts and secrets not known by the general public along the way!
One thing that won't change with Tiana's Bayou Adventure is the track and it's incredibly designed layout. The way the flume magically winds around the 3 different levels of the 2 show buildings is pure genius!

While watching I’m feeling that several of the effects, props and audioanimatronics from Tiana’s are gonna be in different positions compared to Florida’s version

[@RonaldoSwizzbeats]

Great video

[@TheDisneylandBeat]

Thanks!!

Splash Mountain is based on Disney’s 1946 live action and animated movie 🍿 Song of the South

[@laboy14]

I’m going to miss this ride soooo much

[@coasters_bgw]

What a fun and sorely missed ride

[@atasker7432]

Well the ride still exists in Tokyo Disneyland & the Oriental Land Company has no plans to retheme their Splash Mountain anytime soon.

Best ongoing series on Disneyland youtube.

[@TheDisneylandBeat]

THANK YOU!

[@MannyEmm]

This was excellent! Years ago, I worked at Disneyland in outdoor vending and our office was right next to that Show building and the funny thing is that I never realized that it the show building until now! I knew if the HM, Pirates and Indy showrooms, but not this one. Thank you.

[@davidmiles533]

I held 25 years of annual passes. I feel quite foolish in that I never even dreamed there was a show building.

[@TheDisneylandBeat]

Interesting! I have wondered what offices work out of that building! Very cool, thanks for the comment!

[@julieclarke621]

Excited to relive this experience!..

[@TheDisneylandBeat]

Thank you for your kind comments, we always appreciate them!

[@davidmiles533]

Guys guys guys! You know me. You know my experience. This may have been the greatest video you’ve ever done. I’m feeling more than a bit stupid right now. Show building!??? Well… I’m shaking my head. Thanks for the education.

[@TheDisneylandBeat]

Hi David! Thanks - we feel good about this video! Yeah, I am fascinated with the show buildings! More to come...

(8:52) Hmmmmm What is a "ZIP-A-DEE LADY ????? Thanks to Disneyland Beat for keeping Disneyland history alive.

[@TheDisneylandBeat]

From the Disney wiki :) The Zip-a-Dee Lady was a steamboat in the 19th century used by various anthropomorphic animals in the vicinity of Chick-a-Pin Hill. A small pipe-organ was built into the boat. The boat was known to be used by the River Belle Chorus who performed on the vessel. In Tokyo, it is Captain Andy's boat!

Learn something new every day. Thanks....@@TheDisneylandBeat

[@disneyparksloveraz]

I really miss that ride along with the music! Love these mapping videos, though! 😊

[@TheDisneylandBeat]

Thanks very much!

[@MrJimmy527]

Hey, I'm embarrassed. Can we put our coats on, Captain? What? And ruin our perfect cover? I am in disguise! And you are in disguise! The Iron Vulture is in disguise. Life is beautiful. Within moments, my love boat will sail right under those Cape Suzette guns. See how convincing you are, ladies? You have caught the attention of a handsome, young sailor. *howl* It's Flash the Wonder Dog! *squawk* And Conrad Cockatoo!

[@joeyglusky4774]

Don’t have a good day, Have a Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah day!

[@Gwadabean]

Love these videos!

[@TheDisneylandBeat]

Thank you!

[@Jus10video]

This is great. Can’t wait for Tiana’s Bayou Adventure.

[@TheDisneylandBeat]

Thank you very much! We are really looking forward to it as well! It's gonna be great!

[@sebclot9478]

@@TheDisneylandBeat That's where I differ. It's going to be garbage. Even in the best case scenario, it has no chance to be anywhere near as good as Splash.
