Man, oh MAN, do I love this ride. Now I like The Princess and the Frog, and I'm sure the new attraction will be cool, but part of me still hopes against all hope that they will NOT proceed with the plans for re-theming. I just LOVE the design of this ride, and seeing all the critters and the antics of Brers Rabbit, Fox and Bear always puts a smile on my face. I also think "Song of the South" is a worthy film, but I guess that's a discussion for another time. Once again, an AMAZING quality video!

[@rich1760]

I’m going to miss this ride. I won’t be riding the next version.

[@4KWDW]

I will miss it too

[@Seussenshmirtz]

Oh man I can't WAIT for all those unique and lively animatronics to be replaced with generic screens and CGI. All jokes aside, I get it. I just hope the Imagineers understand that this Princess and the Frog ride has to blow us away.

[@suzannemaria5594]

They ruined the King Kong ride at Universal with doing just that (for me, anyways..)

[@franchisefanatic4142]

i hate the idea of changing.

[@4KWDW]

Yea, I’m really hoping they won’t destroy an animatronic heavy ride and make it all screens again (The Great Movie Ride - Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway)

[@TastesLikeDisney]

Still one of the best rides at Magic Kingdom!!

[@4KWDW]

I agree!

[@Coconuts03]

I don't see how all this can become Princess and the Frog.. Chick a Pin Hill has 0 bayou vibes.

[@4KWDW]

It will be interesting for sure

[@vitomcsween974]

Oh yes splash mountain one of the few legendary rides left in WDW

[@4KWDW]

It is a great one for sure!

[@Catherine-zf3tt]

It will not be there for to much longer they are turning it into the princesses and frog ride I was so upset when I herd about it even though I have only been on it once when I was like 5 or 6

[@mrk_builder551]

@@Catherine-zf3tt We all are 😔

[@Nytalite]

If “Song of the South” was made without the live-action portions, it would probably continue to be there for many years to come. It’s rumoured to close for re-theming in January 2022, which is when the ride normally closes for maintenance.

[@vancouvercanucks215]

I sincerely hope WDW keeps this legendary ride "as is" and doesn't proceed through the suggested redesigns.

[@mancave10369]

*[A Princess and the Frog ride sounds awesome, but you could perhaps do one without destroying a fan favorite attraction or just use a building for an unpopular attraction or a shop.]*

[@IzzoCello]

I wish they’d just make minor changes to this to keep it and give tiana her own new ride or restaurant like she deserves. Thanks for the video!

[@Liz.R]

Good points & nicely put.

[@IzzoCello]

@@Liz.R can you imagine if they could do a dinner show? Like combining tales with belle and the be our guest restaurant except princess and the frog? Put it in Tony’s or crystal palace? Fun stuff.

[@Liz.R]

@@IzzoCello I'm not happy with this bunch of "imagineers" they now have! Not sure if they are being stifled by Chapek or that they've lost their way. You, on the other hand, have a very compelling idea. Cajun food/singing -- it's what they do on the cruises...so why not on dry land. Crystal Palace is a nice neutral location...hmmmmm

[@IzzoCello]

@@Liz.R my ideas are conglomeration of what I’ve heard others say. I can’t take full credit. I’d like to give them the benefit of the doubt and say they’re being stifled. The overlay sounds like management saying “okay we don’t want this ride put PATF here” instead of “we need more inclusion and get rid of some insensitivity, give us ideas”. Hopefully we’ll get a good overlay from Imagineers without too much budget hacking from management.

[@evilfantasy1794]

Ah yes! Let's turn this classic and amazing ride into a princess and the frog ride and take out all the amazing animatronics and just fill the ride with screens! AMAZING

[@falconbluestv]

Empty cars? whats going on?

[@2railnation]

Testing. Most likely after a shutdown.

[@4KWDW]

Yea, the ride was down for awhile due to storms in the area

[@Twilightavalon]

im gonna miss this ride...

[@4KWDW]

Same here!

[@andrewh4855]

A fun ride for sure but can't wait to see how the retheme turns out. Hopefully the majority of the animatronics stay and we don't end up with a mostly screen based ride.

[@SamAndDanTV]

100% this. This hasn't changed since I was last there in 2007. Classic ride!

[@4KWDW]

I completely agree. Disney needs to seriously keep the animatronics. We can’t have a Great Movie Ride - Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway situation again where we lost all the animatronics and replaced them with screens

[@marquitaburnett5794]

Maybe they’ll do a mix of the two depending on the scenes within the attraction.

[@Nytalite]

@@4KWDW Sadly, the re-theme is being led by the same Imagineer that led the Runaway Railway project. So it may be inevitable. Although of course, there are still quite a few animatronics in Runaway Railway.

[@Nytalite]

Update: Kevin Rafferty was *supposed* to lead the re-theme, but then he retired in January. They're also referencing Splash Mountain in 50th Anniversary videos, so we'll likely have at least another year and a half to continue enjoying Spash Mountain as it is today.

[@stephenmcallister2169]

i feel splash mountain has had its time (along with country bear jamboree) animatronics are totally outdated and definitely need a refurb. (also pirates of the caribbean needs a refurb. can’t wait to see the new princess and the frog.

[@foggy2825]

No, the ride just needs a great refurb, don’t need to retheme it.

[@mjgamer55na79]

@@foggy2825 ah yes a fellow Goji fan. But yeah I agree. There needs to be some nostalgic rides left for the older audience. One of those happens to be splash mountain. However they’re getting rid of an already super popular ride. Why try to fix it if it ain’t broke?

[@jimmydagoat9819]

Hey thanks for this video! I’m going to WDW In 2 days and this is by far the ride I miss the most so thank you! Keep up the good work

[@4KWDW]

That sounds awesome! Thanks for watching 😃

[@josevelez2206]

One of the most iconic attractions in the park and a good time for a moment of tranquility and relaxation. Splash mountain is always welcome on our agenda and cannot be missed. Thanks 4K WDW for another excellent and colorful video as usual. Greetings 👋😃

[@4KWDW]

I agree José! I have always loved and enjoyed this attraction. It is very unique as well! The mix of thrill and storytelling is really great. Thanks for watching as always! 😃

No SPLASH on Splash Mountain! I see the water cannon isn't working albeit you can hear it! 🤔😉👌🏼 P.s #SaveSplashMountain

[@Sullli]

It's a shame that so many effects and animatronics have hardly been operational in years, especially as it's nearing closure it'd be nice to see everything working as it should one last time.

[@Eternaldarkness3166]

[@nicholasmohr1619]

They just need to give her a bit more love and care and Splash mountain will be back on her feet and to her original glory, no need for princess and the frog. Going to WDW in December 2022 and that will be the last time I get to ride the real splash mountain.

[@vaneliznarvaez2892]

Thnx for such a wonderful video. One of my fave childhood tales. Pity is been removed. What would Walt Disney had to say if he were alive. This movie just captures/illustrates a problematic issue of that time in my opinion it does not promote it. But well thanks again for uploading such a great video.

[@alessandrasantos5493]

A wonderful attraction! Detail of the view of the castle, just before the descent. It's really worth it! Great vídeo. How did you not get the camera lens wet?

[@4KWDW]

It is a phenomenal ride for sure! My camera did get really wet, but it is water resistant so it doesn’t get damaged! Thanks for watching as always Alessandra!

BTW-did u or someone u know get stuck on the monorail? If u had the camera, you'd probably have filmed it, so this might be a stupid question then."Monorail stuck" doesn't seem as bad as "gondola stuck".🚡🚡

[@4KWDW]

Thank you Liz! It was great to ride Splash Mountain again. It has been too long since the last time I rode it! None of us got stuck on the monorail yesterday, but I did hear about that. One of us definitely would have filmed it if we were on it! I got stuck on the monorail back in June 2017 for about 45 minutes and it was so horrible. But definitely better than getting stuck in the Skyliner lol

[@lau2616]

Is there anyone else who thinks the Princess and the Frog theme doesn't fit this ride well? I mean, New Orleans is literally below sea level...in a swamp...and we're talking about putting it inside a mountain? How do we convince Disney to make this a Moana ride? Not only is there a mountain in that movie, but the mountain is the most important character!! Plus, she finds the answer to her heritage in a cave. With a waterfall. And boats (!) It's perfect! This ride could be so great themed as Moana! And is Moana's story not the epitome of "adventure"(adventureland!)? Let's replace a different (dated) ride with Tiana...Winnie the Pooh perhaps? The ride could be right next to the princess meet and greet! I mean, love Pooh bear...but out with the old, in with the new...right? 🤔 I'm curious on opinions on this...

[@robertbowker4784]

Thank you for sharing this. It brings back great memories at WDW. Too bad they're changing this ride.

[@rea_d1]

Sadly, with society problems (bc ofc there is) they called splash mountain “racist” and are making them change it to tiana. We all always remember this classic ride! :(

[@michelleh1351]

Can’t beat ride times after a Florida rain shower. Thank you for sharing. This is probably my all time favorite ride. Well, one of them. I will miss it. I’m sure Princess and the Frog will be wonderful. I love that movie and music. I just wish we could have it without losing Splash Mountain and the Zip A Dee Doo Da day.

[@4KWDW]

I completely agree Michelle. I wish Princess and the Frog would get its own ride, instead of retheming Splash Mountain. It will be missed for sure. Thanks for watching as always!

[@Dougmysticeye]

3pm and such a short line. A rare event for this ride. I got to go on it in June and enjoyed seeing the current theme one last time. By the next time I get the chance it will be rethemed, which will be a great new experience.

[@4KWDW]

Yes, there were storms in the area and the park closed early due to a private event so MK was pretty empty on this day

[@tomasd1496]

thanks 4K - best overall ride in all of Disney, nothing compares for duration, fun and theming. Hope when it gets updated, they are as creative as the folks who originally themed it - time will tell.

[@4KWDW]

Yes, it really is a perfect blend of fun, thrill, and great storytelling as well. I think the lead Imagineer who worked on Splash Mountain is also in charge of the retheme to Princess and the Frog, so that gives me some hope.

[@janetwilber6377]

This is a super cute ride! I'm really going to miss it. Do hope the Princess Tiana ride is just as cute. Thank you for another great stream!

[@4KWDW]

I will miss it too Janet. It was always one of my favorites! I just hope they will keep the animatronics instead of replacing them with screens. Thanks for watching as always!

[@mariohiccupwitwicky8453]

When is this incarnation closing? I hope I get at least one chance to ride this ride.

[@4KWDW]

Disney hasn’t said when it will close. They are currently refurbishing the exterior of the ride for the 50th anniversary celebration of Magic Kingdom(which lasts 18 months) so it sounds like it will be around for a little while longer

Such a fun ride on a hot day. I'm sad this ride is leaving, but they always replace it with a better ride, such as Princess and the Frog coming soon in 2022.

[@4KWDW]

I miss this ride a lot. Disney actually hasn’t said when the new version will open. They haven’t even said when Splash Mountain is closing, which is strange. They are also currently refurbishing the exterior of the ride for the 50th anniversary so it will probably still be open for awhile longer

[@justjenny4871]

@@4KWDW Ah! Once something ends, another thing better begins!

[@marquitaburnett5794]

I don’t think the refurbishment will happen until we’ll after the 50th anniversary.

[@Nytalite]

The maintenance is starting to get seriously bad, which is a shame. When I rode on November 2nd and 3rd, at least 5 animatronics were malfunctioning, two were turned off, and (despite the previous statement) at least two in the finale were removed for repairs. Based on the camera direction at 8:03 as well as the audio, it looks like one of them was turned off even then. If you don't know which one I'm talking about, it is the hopping Br'er Rabbit (also known as the Million Dollar Bunny).

[@triton6127]

Looked like there was hardly a line on a Saturday afternoon!

[@2railnation]

Also looked like everyone was in ponchos so the ride was potentially shut down for a storm.

[@4KWDW]

Yea, it was actually an interesting situation. Not only was the ride down for awhile due to storms, but the park closed early that day because of a private event at Magic Kingdom. So the park was pretty empty all day since it closed at 6pm and I’m assuming many guests felt it wasn’t worth it to go

[@MarshadowintheShadows]

Brer fox just won’t shut up

[@MsDisneylandlover]

I like this ride but i hate hate the drop..i always ask for the back. My heart beats fast throughout this ride. Once at the drop section n hearing that scary song and they saying no turning back now or something to that degree. But i always bury my head in my seat low has i can get it lol.
