Splash Mountain VERSUS (Disneyland Vs. Disney World)

My oh my, what a wonderful day! Every day is a wonderful day on Splash Mountain, but in which park is the ride better: Disneyland or the Magic Kingdom?
This was a super tough call, as both versions are among my favorite rides on the planet, but a winner has been decided!
What do you think? Did I get it right, or do you disagree?

Advantage to Disneyland's Splash Mountain: Strategically sitting at the back of the log as a single rider and photobombing the unsuspecting family sitting in front of you

[@Disneylander]

kirbymaster5 I love that, haha.

[@carlosj4427]

You should do Tower of Terror Vs Guardians of the Galaxy Mission:Breakout

[@the_every-thing_guy]

he already did it

[@jimsprigg7931]

TOWER. OF. TERROR.

[@seanestes2004]

I have to agree that Walt Disney Worlds is slightly better than Disneylands. I honestly forgot that there was a restraint on that ride, because I was just so excited to be there. The extra scenes were really cool but I did notice that the drop in the dark wasn't as thrilling as Disneyland's and that's where you get really wet at Disneyland. I really enjoy both though and I wouldn't skip this if your going to Disneyworld, there are some rides to skip in Florida's Disney Parks because they are to similar to Disneyland but this isn't one of them. The next one you should do is one of these 3... Big Thunder Railroad Haunted Mansion Peter Pan Looking forward to your next V.S.

[@Disneylander]

Sean Estes I definitely agree! They're both amazing rides in different ways, but when all is said and done, I think Disney World has just a biiit more to offer. Thank you, though, and thanks for the suggestions!

[@glenncraigmeyer07]

Disneyland's Splash Mountain has a more jazzier music selection, while wdw's is more country in southern.

[@ised-5239]

Yes because in California Disneyland the ride is next to New Orleans Square and WDW's is located in Frontierland which is themed after the western side of American Old South.

[@cyberdynesystems2021]

Personally, I favor Disneyland's Splash Mountain because, it's the original, it's the version I grew up with, and it contains more animatronics than its Floridian counterpart. However, I do admit that I find the seating, theming in the show scenes, and final drop at Magic Kingdom superior to Disneyland's version.

[@omiibear_3047]

“We’re visiting our laughing place, *Yuck YuCK YuK YUc*” XD 😂😂😂 that got meh

[@c_cubed]

The Disneyland version gave me the "I'm Gonna Die" Vibe.

[@stellerate]

Same👍

[@islakate3313]

On every ride at disney world (which all had seatbelts) i still F L Y so i would probably like die on that

[@CrazyManhog]

Mine was Disney World as I kid I felt so happy I braved the drop

[@disneydude6582]

I love the soundtrack for Disneyland's Splash Mountain It's unique along with the logs!

[@Disneylander]

Disney Dude I think I might have a small preference for Disneyland's soundtrack to be honest, but I do love the hawharp and banjo in the Magic Kingdom!

[@ised-5239]

Disneylander Magic Kingdom has a banjo because the ride is owned by Frontierland. Tokyo Disneyland also with the banjos where Critter Country is a sub set of Westernland and that Critter Country is themed to wildlife of the states of Texas and the New Mexico. The area music loops of TDL's Critter Country also feature banjos and other country instruments like some of Song of the South OSTs (e.g. Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah, Laughing Place and What Uncle Remus Said) and also popular songs like Old Macdonald and I've Been Working on the Railroad.

[@Beccad1012]

DW actually uses the sound track from the movie the ride is themed after "Song of the South" (1946)

[@katef96]

To me, Disneyland’s Splash Mountain feels like an idea that hadn’t yet reached its full potential. I imagine when the MK’s was being constructed, there was the thought of “how can we improve upon the original?” MK’s animatronics were made from scratch, it’s a lot more colorful, the pacing is much better and the theming seems to be better executed all around. Not to mention the more comfortable logs. This is of course coming from someone who grew up with the MK version. The one time I rode DL’s, it didn’t give me the same warm vibe, although I know some people prefer the darker, Fantasyland-vibe of it. It does feel more closely tied to Song of the South in certain aspects, such as the orchestral music, the design of the mountain itself, and some of the dialogue, and of course some people love that America Sings exists in some form through the reused animatronics, but I don’t think these things make it a better ride. I don’t know exactly how to explain it, but MK’s Splash just seems to have this “star quality” that DL’s doesn’t. MK’s Splash Mountain is frequently considered one of the best rides at the WDW resort, while Disneyland’s doesn’t seem to get that level of acclaim. Whenever the two are compared, MK’s is almost always considered superior, which is pretty rare when comparing DL and WDW attractions. This is an instance where I have to agree with the popular opinion, bias aside.

[@CrazyManhog]

Well MK is the second ride so it's the new ride but unfortunately-

[@alexblatchford4147]

One summer I sat in front in Disneyland and a TIDAL WAVE OF WATER DRENCHED ME! Good memories!

[@_theluckygamer_3245]

i feel like disneyland's soundtrack is superior. it has that flittery chime sound and adds so much of that classic disneyland charm to it. It is noticeably slower and has a different pitch than DW. I believe that the banjo is too fast-paced, and it sounds too forced. the slower pace of disneyland's adds anticipation, and there is a slight feeling that something is about to happen (which there definitely is). I feel like disneyland's soundtrack puts you into a false sense of security while DW's hypes you up the entire time, so you are expecting it.

[@SeriouslyCreepy]

This is one where I have to say Magic Kingdom! Both are amazing!

[@Disneylander]

Theme Park Brews definitely a very close call!

[@MrDgoodrow]

@@Disneylander well did you cover the drops though I would like to know of how many drops in Disneyland and how is it different to WDW ?

[@nol3000]

I personally think the Splash Mountain at Disneyland is more thrilling is because there’s literally no seatbelts or lap bars, you’re basically just on the log, that’s it.

[@MichaelJacksonRobloxGaming]

That’s literary unsafe wth would you prefer that over Magic Kingdom’s which is safe?! That’s so stupid it sounds like you have a death wish

[@massofmen]

The only problem I have with WDW's Splash Mountain is where it is. It being in Frontierland doesn't really match the theme of the Mountain, which is trying to imitate the red soil in the South, not the Frontier.

[@luuchoo93]

I think it fits much much better in Magic Kingdom, having the same colors of Frontierland and Big Thunder. It blends In Disneyland its right next to the Haunted Mansion, too close, no space in between for transition... Disneyland doesnt have room, and therefore attractions are thrown together one next to the other

[@noellaenchanted139]

Imagine the first people to actually ride splash mountain

[@jameswebb9657]

you only have 749 subs but have better videos than some with hundreds of thousands if not millions so unfair you are quality

[@Disneylander]

James Webb well thank you so much!!! I'm workin on it, haha.

[@justinechaine5679]

I personally think that Tokyo's Splash mountain is the best Splash Mountain ever. It is so loved by the park and well taken care of, and it has all of the elements that give us context!

[@lindseylucero2435]

Advantage to Disneyland splash Mountain is that in the ride see you have a lot more mobility than in Disney World you feel like you’re just enclosed

[@WhateverElliot21]

I love these comparison videos so much!

[@Disneylander]

Thank you!!! I'm glad you're enjoying them!

[@JJdaPK]

I like Disney World's slightly better because it tells a more coherent story and it has overall better effects. I also prefer the more western-influenced style of music they use. One thing I prefer about Disneyland's version is the "Burrow's Lament" which adds a sense of dread as you go up the mountain and are about to be thrown in the Briar Patch. I think Disneyland's version feels much more directly tied to Song of the South in both the Georgia like atmosphere, the music choices and even some of the dialogue. The waiting area at Disneyland's Splash Mountain also has several of Uncle Remus's quotes posted. I suspect the reason the storyline at Disneyland is less coherent is because, at the time it was built, Disney probably did not intend to withdraw Song of the South from distribution. So my guess is that in 1988-1989 - only a couple of years after Song of the South's 40th anniversary re-release in 1986 - they probably assumed that most riders would already be familiar with Brer Rabbit, Brer Bear and Brer Fox. So rather than tell a complete story, they just have bunch of random scenes from the animated portions of Song of the South and expect the general audience to know the context. With the Magic Kingdom version, there is more of a focus on telling a complete story. The Magic Kingdom version of the ride stands perfectly on its own, regardless as to whether or not one has seen Song of the South.

[@LMGVids]

I've never really liked Disneyland's splash mountain. Scenes are lit pretty badly, animatronics break constantly, and you flying through the ride too fast IMO. Disney World/Tokyo Disneyland's versions are way better since they allow time for the scenery to work itself in and everything is lit and works appropriately :P Great video btw :)

[@Disneylander]

LMG Vids I have to agree. The new refurb definitely helped with the lighting, but I hope they're actually good with keeping everything working now...though I won't be surprised if animatronics are off again within a few weeks. I've heard rumor that you're not too fond of getting wet on rides either way, though, haha! But thank you!!!

[@ised-5239]

Both Disney World and Tokyo Disneyland's Splash Mountain have rather western characteristic also where the terrains colors are like western canyons instead of reddish Georgia looking coloring as in California Disneyland and the state of Arizona becomes the sub theme of the ride where the capital of Phoenix had a history of filming Song of the South plantation scenes, then the music is also with country-western style featuring banjos, fiddles, and harmonicas but in Tokyo some soundtracks are sung in Japanese.

[@Newhorizons4u]

DL Splash Mountain has always struck me as rather ghetto when compared to MK and TDL. Poorly maintained. I'd love to see a full redo of the mountain.

[@gabrielquesnot7840]

Then why post the video of the ride if you don't like it?

[@michaelgonzales4969]

Disneyland s. Splsh Montana Ride is because the water is not stegee as the one at Disney world

[@raymondmeyers8983]

With the exception of Pirates of the Caribbean, any ride that is installed later that the other is better. They seem to learn the lessons from the first one and make the improvements in the second. I think Pirates at WDW is not better than DL because they rushed it.

[@coastermeister]

Goodbye Splash Mountain

[@Disneylander]

Someday in the future we'll have a princess and the frog mountain versus! But yes, good by beloved Splash Mountain.

[@coastermeister]

Princess and the Frog is one of my favorite Disney movies, but we'll have to see. It fits in with New Orleans Square, so maybe they will extend the land to fit it? That would kind make Critter Country useless as well. Nobody goes over there JUST for Winnie the Pooh, you know? But what about Disney World? Splash Mountain there is smack dab in the middle of Frontierland, that doesn't work. In the end, we just have to sit back and let Disney work their magic.

[@idkidc2388]

I’m very sad that these amazing attractions are going. I hope they are replaced with something amazing though. But I do(very soon will be did) prefer Disneyland’s version. I like how it feels almost in a sense more cartoony because of it’s placement in bear country. I also much prefer the single seats with no restraints.

[@barzdeathdavid8232]

I like how you do these reviews and I personally think Disneyland's is better but I see what your talking about

[@Disneylander]

BaRz DeathDavid thank you! In all honesty, I personally enjoy the Disneyland ride more from a nostalgia and fun point of view, but the Disney World ride offers a bit more!

[@AroundIndiana]

WDW definitely wins with this ride. So many people always say DL is better by default due to it being the original. But using that argument is like saying a car from the 1800s is better than one from 2018 because it's the original lol. Each park has advantages and disadvantages over the others. I don't think they were ever meant to be better than the others. They are each their own experience.

[@luuchoo93]

Agree. WDW one is better

[@DisneyKathlyn]

Having been to both parks numerous times, we appreciate the MK version because the logs move slower and more fluidly through the ride. DL moves WAY TOO FAST and you get slammed around and you can’t appreciate all the scenery. It feels like they are increasing the speed of the water just to get you through the ride faster, which of course they are. DLand was our home park for many years (Washingtonians as well) and now we are often blessed to visit both parks during the year!

[@Disneylander]

Kathlyn Wolfe I definitely agree with that! It's hard to really asorb too much of the scenes in Disneyland. But that's awesome, happy for you!

[@zack-sh5wn]

Kathlyn Wolfe I live in Washington also, been to both parks (Disneyland numerous times, and MK twice) I feel like MK’s Isn’t as thrilling as DL’s I might be the single file row, but for some reason I find DL’s more fun

[@opinian1068]

Dig your "points awarded" format! Keeps the viewer guessing. Nice channel...keep up the good work. Definitely subbed :)

[@Disneylander]

Opinian That's my goal, haha. Thanks a bunch, I really appreciate it!

[@justimagine2403]

I literally thought they were clones of each other until I watched this. I guess Magic Kingdom you sit side by side. I hate to say it but Disneyland wins on almost every ride except Haunted Mansion. Disneyland is way better (and I grew up only knowing Disney World Magic Kingdom). If you haven't experienced Disneyland, you are missing the true American original.

[@Disneylander]

Just Imagine yeah, these two are surprisingly different! But I do have to agree, nothing feels quite the same when it's not in Disneyland; there's a certain magic to the park. But there's a few key rides Disney World has done a bit better I'm my opinion!

[@donovanw2150]

Disney World is way better that Disneyland in general.

[@lincoln7030]

Just Imagine I’ve only been to Disney world and only plan to be going there also Route 66 is

[@mrcocky318]

You can’t say Disneyland is better when you’ve only been to Magic Kingdom. You have to experience everything in WDW. WDW is way better than Disneyland imo and I’ve been to both.

[@neoserenityangel]

I agree you certainly can feel the Magic over a the Magic Kingdom

[@porterredkey948]

The ride is better in WDW in my opinion. I don't like the see thru scenes on the DL version. I like blue bird at the end.

[@kristendavis2881]

Honestly ridding Disney land splash mountain was horrible I hate the log it’s so uncomfortable and the ride goes way to fast and you literally get so wet like having wet socks and shoes is not fun ! Disney world all the way for splash mountain the log is way better more comfy and you don’t get wet has much witch I prefer Sorry but Disney world all the way !

[@DarthBrtt]

Being a native southern Californian and having been to DL hundreds of times now, it's probably blasphemous to say, but I much prefer DW's version of Splash. Better music, much better layout, much better set design including lighting, better animatronics, smoother lift hills and an extra drop, too! Speaking of smoother lift hills, that is another big plus at MK's Splash. At DL, it's just a conveyor belt that is noisy and rather bumpy and violent. While at the MK, the hills are more like waterfalls with water cascading down and are quiet and smooth. I also like the fact that at the MK, you can get splashed in the Briar Patch by logs going down the final Chickapin Hill drop. Gives it an extra thrill! I miss when they used to blast "splashes" onto the bridge in front of the mountain at DW. Maybe it created a bottleneck from people trying to cool off?

[@Disneylander]

Darth Brett very good insight, I totally agree! I had entirely forgotten about the lift hill, they're definitely more immersive in DW. And I actually wasn't aware that you could be splashed from off of the ride at a time, but that'd have been fun! More like a classic log flume.

[@jaydenchrist6152]

Magic kingdom is better

[@SoCalGuy20]

The mountain at Disneyland just looks far better than Magic Kingdoms. Splash mountain doesn’t belong in Frontierland. I’ve never ever seen close to 12 people on Magic Kingdoms version. You can also sit two people next to each other in the last row of Disneyland’s version.

[@Verdellmalnone]

Yes there is more animatronics in Disney land but let's be real in Disneyland it is much faster

[@anisa897]

The *only* thing I don't like about splash mountain in Disney is that there's no seatbelts, no straps or anything like that. And the final drop is almost completely vertical 😶

[@PruWillDo]

That's why it's more thrilling. 😁

[@andrek1709]

The music/soundtrack recorded for the ride at Disneyland is better than what they play at Disneyworld. Something about the music played on the Splash Mountain ride at the Magic Kingdom just sounds weird.

[@LeshaunDinglenutfan7095]

If I built Disneyland's splash mountain then I would keep their own version of the how do you do song but during the laughing place scene for the pre-laughing place song could be Disneyland's laughing Play song while the laughing place scene itself has the Tokyo Disneyland and Walt Disney world mashup with the Disneyland the vocals only being files and the zippity Doo Dah scene being Disney world's version of the zip-a-dee-doo-dah song.

[@LeshaunDinglenutfan7095]

Oh and I would also include the hopping brer rabbit animatronic if only Disney had $1000000 because hey if Disney world can have a hoppin brer rabbit animatronic? Why can't Disneyland?

[@DisneyParksMusic.]

I love Disneyland’s Splash Mountain music because like you said it is a cartoony music but it fits perfectly with the Critter Country theme but the cartoony music on the ride was the original music score for both the ride and Movie Song of the South! On the other hand the music for the Magic Kingdom was just a made up music that was just tuned in for a frontier vibe to me the music for Splash Mountain should go to Disneyland!😉

[@Disneylander]

Ethan Foster Maybe I should have broken the music off into it's own catergory!

[@ised-5239]

Yes the California Disneyland's cartoony music obeys where the ride's idea comes from: Song of the South, then is blended with jazzy score where Critter Country is next to New Orleans Square. Magic Kingdom's Splash Mountain is Arizona orientated where its capital of Phoenix had a history of Song of the South's filming then the ride's area including the queue and the Briar Patch shop are also themed to the state of Arizona. The banjo musics are also looping in the queue including bluegrass style of Old Macdonald and Skip to My Lou.

[@DisneyParksMusic.]

ISE D- I am glad you could catch that the two music scores are different

[@ecoRfan]

ISE D- true. Big Thunder next door is based off a haunted mine in either Arizona or Utah or something. So Frontierland has a Southwestern theming despite Song of the South taking place in Georgia. It does seem weird seeing the mountain from New Orleans Square, but the jazz / orchestral soundtrack fits the theme, a lot different from the bluegrass banjo music at the Magic Kingdom. The story seems to work better in Disneyland though (the Briar Patch dialog especially). In WDW it’s hard to follow the plot of what’s happening.

[@ised-5239]

ecoRfan For the Splash Mountain area theming it should be made unique and the Georgia theming is reduced in order to cut the dark side of Song of the South since it is a movie about slavery; thus in California Disneyland the Splash Mountain side of Critter Country area is also themed partly to Louisiana bayous.

[@joshberninger8355]

I agree with your outcome but I’d actually put the ride experience in MK above Disneyland as well. The clearer storyline, better appearance for scenes, and more thrilling with having almost double the drops (even if they are small).

[@grdomon]

I really enjoyed this video. I see you haven't been uploading for too long, but I hope you keep at it. Subscribed.

[@Disneylander]

Space Panch thank you!!! Uploads are less frequent than I'd like them to be, but I'm definitely still working on videos all the time!

[@KoubuPilot]

America Sings opened in 1974. The AAs are about 44 years old. Something to nore is the WDW logs move at a slower pace than Disneyland. Could be in part by the fact the flume has to be wider for double wide logs.

[@Disneylander]

Enrique Cortez definitely an interesting point, the WDW logs seem to creep way to slow at points, while the Disneyland logs sometimes hurtle past scenes!

[@KoubuPilot]

Disneylander I feel like you get thrown a little laterally in a couple of curves. I find hitting the belts on lift hills in thr front seat a little uncomfortable. I know WDW has a different lift system for their logs.

[@ised-5239]

The AAs of America sings re-titled Bear Country to Critter Country where they were addressed for Splash Mountain.

[@bradpolk6737]

Surprise you didn’t mention World has more drops. That’s a big difference.

[@Viking_Luchador]

Disney WORLD! Always and Forever.

[@stellerate]

I would have enjoyed Disneyland's splash mountain more, but we got stuck at the drop for about 10 minutes! So we weren't expecting when we'd drop so I got the "I'm gonna die vibe" if that didn't happen, I'd call it a tie!👍

[@colemayhew2060]

I agree with everything you said.

[@houseofthedeadchannel251]

Easily my favourite log flume ride of all time. Really hope to visit California when I finish the Cats musical, gonna have to save up!

[@thesmallworldfancat]

Can you do a vs video for it’s a small world at Disneyland and Disneyland Paris plz? In my opinion I think the Disneyland Paris it’s a small world is way better

[@amandaakalilac4655]

woah i grew up in cali and my dad worked at disney so we went there almost every month growing up, so im super biased towards it, and now i also live in washington. lol we’re the same person.

[@HYBECTIVE]

One of the best water rides? I’m sorry but Jurassic Park takes the cake

[@cannibalisticrequiem]

Aw, Baby Bram! 😆 I can't believe I never commented on this video! (Or if I did, I can't find it!) Personally I'm always going to pick Disneyland over WDW, because DL is my home park, and it's the only one I've ever been too! 🤣 I will say that I still think Disney needs to merge Critter Country with Frontierland, and just make it one big land. Aside from the Winnie the Pooh ride, all Critter Country has is Splash Mountain (and I guess technically Davey Crockett's Explorer Canoes-- which, tbh, everyone considers a part of Frontierland). That's 2, maybe 3 rides, 2 shops, and 2 restaurants. Frontierland has Big Thunder Mountain, the Mark Twain Riverboat, the Sailing Ship Columbia, Tom Sawyer's Island, the Frontierland Shootin Exposition, 4 restaurants, and 2 shops. Why not just combine them? Critter Country has had a western theme since it was Bear Country! It makes sense!

[@melonsharks]

Hope I can go to Disneyland one day to experience the Disneyland ride of Splash Mountain too. Its one of my absolute favorites.

[@Disneylander]

Gabriella Joubert I hope you can too! They're both a blast, but they're also surprisingly different.

[@MightyBiffer]

You forgot a major difference. Disneyland offers a single rider line that is ride where you get off the log. At night times when few other people want to ride this ride this becomes and almost immediate re-ride line. In Magic Kingdom Even if there is no line they make you get off the log and walk all the way around to the line which can take several minutes to walk through even when empty.

[@GBates]

There is one more point I want to give to Magic Kingdom: The design of Brer' Rabbit. You may have noticed that the animatronics for Brer' Rabbit are different in both versions. I personally like Magic Kingdom's Brer' Rabbit design better mainly because Disneyland's Brer Rabbit seems a bit too...Chubby compared to his actual cartoon design and his movement looks much more limited compared to the other. Magic Kingdom's Brer' Rabbit seems more accurate and moves around a lot more.

[@t3s__451]

Magic kingdoms Brer Rabbit is far less accurate and Disneylands is more advanced.

[@MrSTONEking]

Disneyland's version, as I recall, does not use brakes at each drop, unlike Magic Kingdom's.

[@littlemoon566]

It’s probably because some of the original rides from California that are over in Florida were built first and that Florida WDW can improve the tides after they go from one park to the other. It could also be different experiences, I don’t know. Something like that.

[@boywonder3919]

A big part of it is physical space. The Magic Kingdom is roughly 25% larger than DL. The attractions in Orlando tend to have larger physical footprints than those at DL.

[@miseltoe1]

This is such a good video!

[@Disneylander]

miseltoe1 thank you so much!!!

[@cherry-uy2hk]

Subbed! :D I like Disneylands more. It’s the original and has a more country feel.

[@coledoucette5116]

The animatronics in Disney world look to plastic for me. I like Disneylands version more

[@amon-ko2dc]

[@yourlocalmistake7591]

[@DRTDental]

I’m so excited 😆 for the next vs

[@Nbvvzz]

man 😓

[@TheSkellingtonGhost]

I'd love to see you're take on the two american haunted mansions. I know including Tokyo, Phantom manor, and Mystic Manor would be to complicated. Considering Tokyo is Florida's ride but less updated and the other two are kinda their own thing with only a couple Haunted Mansion references.

[@Disneylander]

Well you'll be happy to know you won't have to wait too much longer 😉 I'd love to talk about Phantom Manor in Paris especially, but maybe in a future video!!!

[@ahayes9675]

I personally don't like getting soaked- I refuse to go on Kali River in Animal Kingdom or Grizzly River in CA. Needless to say I did not enjoy getting totally drenched at Disneyland- boats are so low and water came over the top in the Laughin' Place. Its still a good ride, but I would love DIsneyland's version more if the boats moved slower.

[@ColtonMyers1]

I was watching this comparison and had a brief moment where I went, “huh…that kinda looks like the Space Needle and Mount Rainier” and then you proceeded to say you were from Washington as well 😅

[@neoserenityangel]

I really like your videos I gives me a different perspective between both parks among other videos of DL and WDW but it's hard to give an opinion being that I live on the East Coast so I grew up with Disney World and the Magic Kingdom it's all I know that being said...the magic and experience with Disney World 's Splash Mountain was thrilling because I could appreciate the story line and animitronics etc because the ride was slower I can no longer do the fast rides anymore but I will agree with you with the ending it was just eh I expected to get wet yes I got wet but not soaked and Still with the Magic Kingdom you get to feel at least with me the Disney Magic

[@N8R_Quizzie]

Disneyland's ride vehicles are terrible. Less people plus it's very uncomfortable. I am tall so my legs hit the middle bit while sitting in the back and it hurts. AND THE WATER IS EASILY BETTER IN FLORIDA! Coming from a fellow Washingtonian, I think the Florida water is like nothing else. The smell is the best.

[@colemayhew2060]

I am a Disneylander as well and I feel that our Splash Mountain leaves a bit to be desired. Disney World's Splash Mountain does everything I wish that ours did. I still love ours but Disney World's made me quite a bit happier. Thanks for the fabulous video!

[@nathancoleman1359]

Can you please Do Peter pan flight

[@Disneylander]

It's certainly on the list!

[@a_cowwithlegs]

O M G Do tower of terror

[@TimmyME]

Tokyo Disneylands version is best. I have been to all and it beats the other ones by miles. Californian's and Floridians do NOT have the best parks anymore....

[@luuchoo93]

Really? Because last time I checked, WDW and Disneyland had Star Wars land (the most immersive and greatest lands ever designed by Disney). WDW has Flight of Passage (an attraction that blows away anything Tokyo has). DL was World of Color (unique nighttime show, among the best if not the best show) and Cars Land. The Magic Kingdom Haunted House is more technologically advanced than Tokyo, it has an interactive queue and interactivity with Magic Bands. Tower of Terror is much taller in WDW than Tokyo. Cinderella Castle is higher in Magic Kingdom. Not to mention that Tokyo doesnt have anything that comes close to Epcot or Animal Kingdom, two unique world famous parks with impressive theming. How does Tokyo compete with that? and more....

[@theinventinggamer6532]

Well now that they replaced this loved classic when Disneyland's new baiu ride comes out you should do a Vs on them.

[@chadhundley1]

I have to agree with you. The story line is better at WDW and I also likes seeing the blue bird throughout the attraction. I want to hear your opinion regarding the HM at both parks.

[@TaylorStJohn-fp9zs]

This one IS indeed a tough call! I'm still sitting on the fence. I like them both from a visual standpoint. In all honesty, however, I have only ridden the one in Orlando, so I def need to hit up Anaheim again before I give any input. Seems like it's more intense as well. Sounds fun!

[@TaylorStJohn-fp9zs]

Bro, did you ever get a chance to ride Disney California Adventure's version of Tower of Terror? I never did...sadly, but it would be awesome if you could do a retrospective comparison of that one versus Orlando's! I think I know which one would win...by a long shot, but still...

[@Disneylander]

Yes, I absolutely loved Tower or Terror! I mentioned a bit of this is my Guardians of the Galaxy VS Tower of Terror video, but a versus between the two versions of ToT would be great!

[@fakingtrels]

Don't agree with the exterior point for the magic kingdom. I think the cartoon splash mountain look is great considering critter country is mostly a cartoony like land. Magic kingdom's mountain just looks lifeless and boring to me but it does fit frontier land. I'd have given the point to Disneyland but that's just my preference. I do agree with your other points though.

[@lincoln7030]

fakingtrels the thorns used to be cartoony

[@rybelknap]

Magic kingdom has extra drops as well. This is one ride I prefer at disneyworld. When it comes to parks I prefer disneyland.

[@Ronnie06spartan]

Disclaimer: South Florida's water is nothing like Orlando water, which has that weird smell to it, so not all of Florida's water is like that. Other than that, nice video

[@ashadriano]

but we were the og disney, never forget that you guys wouldn't have had "disney world" without disneyland

[@derekmiles1337]

Ashley A but we are still better

[@TK-uh8pw]

no way

[@Emily-lb7rf]

Its Orlando's Water. Miami has one of the cleanest water systems in the US js

I feel like the Disneyland splash mountain portrays the story in a bad way. B’rer Fox only appears in the trap scene and then totally disappears until he catches B’rer Rabbit. It must be hard to understand that B’rer Fox and B’rer Bear are trying to catch B’rer Rabbit until the log arrives at his lair.

I think that's what makes it so great He's an actual threat and isn't taken as a joke

[@maxmantell5009]

I hate how this ride is getting rethemed. Is that really necessary?

[@robynwaugh1446]

Washingtonians for the win!! Great video, I haven’t been to Disneyland in over 20 years so it never really clicked with me that the rides would be different between Disney world and Disneyland.

[@beccak3035]

Disney world Version is better, the have the same version plus you have more leg room in it because it's a two person seat. They have the same story and songs though, Disney world has. Better feel and you don't see all the other lands and see what your supposed to

[@Boom-fs2ny]

The smell you are talking about is the bromamine. They use it instead of chlorine. They use it in both versions, so it is a bit weird they don’t smell the same to you

[@Disneylander]

Boom1327 I think the bromine actually smells nice! It has that classic Disney water ride smell, but Florida's water has a different quality to it I can't really describe as any way but "sulfurous smelling"

[@christiphergedge5078]

Florida water if it comes from a well has some sulfur in it (but not so much to be dangerous, it is simply there and there's no getting rid of it either.

[@rocketrodlover]

At least Floridas splash mountain is open 💅💅💅💅💅

[@adambruins]

Your wrong

[@ItzAdrian02]

Can you soon do BTM or IASW

[@timmyandtommynook9763]

Adrian Reviews BTM ? IASW?

[@maxmantell5009]

Do Astro orbiter and do autotopia vs tomorrowland speedway

[@kryceksangel]

During the Halloween Party, DL's is more fun because no one rides, and you get your own log

[@jakeetc7736]

[@youmatgle]

The Tokyo version has the best station environment with its Splash Mountain restaurant.

[@ised-5239]

y88cdw Tokyo's Splash Mountain queue is also like Western cabin and then dark caves.

[@jaydenchrist6152]

Magic Kingdoms is better Disneylands is boring but the Disneyland ride veicles is better

[@froakie1404]

This is so hard to choose, I love both of them so much I think they are both probably the best rides in each park, that being said, Magic Kingdom's is just a little bit better for its story

[@courtneyjakubowicz9202]

It’s because that is only one dark drop I Disney for slip and fall is not outside Disney World wins for sure

[@maxmantell5009]

Do mad tea party

[@bryanaltneu7209]

Zippedey doo dah!!!

[@maxmantell5009]

Do one for the princess and frog version of the ride

[@kamerenlund6440]

Great video once again. Thank you :) I grew up watching Splash Mountain in California being built. Such a great ride - one of my all time favorites. The Tokyo Splash Mountain has a really cool exterior front area (where people can stand and interact with people on the ride) - I would say Tokyo has the best exterior. Tokyo has a more 'blues-based splash mountain theme song' and it doesn't sound nearly as good as California. Tokyo will always be the best for Cast Members and loading/ unloading efficiency - they are fantastic! You also get super wet in Tokyo....

[@Disneylander]

Kameren Lund thank you! I desperately want to visit Tokyo, haha. I'll get out there asap!

[@kamerenlund6440]

It is such a great park + Disney Sea. Check the crowd calendar because it gets crazy crowded but if you plan it right it will be amazing! Japanese Cast Members are the best in the World :)

[@ised-5239]

Tokyo Disneyland's Critter Country is the park's margarita earth due to the land is themed after Texas and New Mexico which are US states that ever hold margarita trails and places to find unique margaritas. The area music loops of Tokyo's Critter Country and its dining place Grandma Sara's Kitchen also use country/western style featuring banjos and harmonicas as well as Splash Mountain's in-ride soundtrack. The land area's music loop with banjos are also flowing in the restroom area.

[@alexanderbohart1550]

Haunted mansion would be a cool comparison so I hope you that 😁
