THE LAST SPLASH - Final Ride and Closure of Splash Mountain at Magic Kingdom

[@DylanRyan8]

The best part of all of this is the "cheering mob"! truly an amazing shared experience of closing night. Rest in peace Splash Mountain

[@bananadolewhip5270]

I was right in the front of that cheering mob. People cheered for me and I wanted to do the same! There were a lot of tears. It was sad also seeing some of the cast members crying. 🥺

[@brandonlogan-v.2579]

That’s Right. “Tiana’s Bayou Adventure” is a new ride for Disneyland & Magic Kingdom Based on Walt Disney Animation Studios’ 49th Animated Feature Film “The Princess & The Frog” (2009). Next year is 2024 and they will get “Tiana’s Bayou Adventure”. “Splash Mountain” Based on Disney’s Cancelled Live Action Film “The Song of the South” has been around at Disneyland for 34 years and at The Magic Kingdom for 31 years. Now it’s time to say goodbye to “Splash Mountain” at Disneyland & The Magic Kingdom in Florida.

[@harrylogozar]

What's that old saying? Don't cry cause it's over, smile cause it happened. I think thats the most fitting quote to give to an attraction that has put smiles on millions of faces for 30 years. I myself have made this my favorite attraction at Walt Disney World and it's probably because of all the good memories. The views of the fireworks before splashing into the briar patch, the memorable songs that can get stuck in your head for hours if you let it. For many this was probably one of the first big thrill rides you ever went on. So weather you rode it once or you rode it a million times, remember that the attraction may change but your memories will not

Dear Splash Mountain, You were every kids nightmare when they first went on. "Ah! A 50 foot drop!" But notice that every kid came out with a smile on their face. They're singing songs about a tale of a rabbit that outsmarted his enemies. Everyone loved you, from your opening in 1989, to your end in 2023. In those 34 years, you gave happiness to generations of fans from all around the world. You've had such an impact on thrill seekers, Disney fans, and everyone in between. But, as all things are, eventually things come to an end. We hope Tiana's Bayou Adventure will still make generations to come happy, but we will always remember you as Splash Mountain. We hope you will enjoy your new home in the WDW Magic Kingdom train, but for now, we will miss you. Sincerely, Every Disney Fan

[@daisyjacobo5781]

@marioplayr6352 When you said " Every kids nightmare when they first went on. "Ah! A 50 foot drop!" ", Last ride of Splash Mountain is actually similar to Arthur Malediction but actually they're same cursed. We can make a new movie is all about "Dernier tour de Splash Mountain" (transl. Last ride of Splash Mountain) with genre for a new movie Psychological horror that is going to end in 2023. Dernier tour de Splash Mountain is a 2024 French meta psychological horror film. From the director of Arthur Malediction Dernier tour de Splash Mountain Coming soon in 2024

It was the one in Disneyland, California that opened in 1989. The one at Magic Kingdom in Florida didn't open until 1992. I've been going on that one since 1995, and haven't been to Disney at all since 2019.

The cheering and singing crowd as the last logs went by was truly a classic Disney fan moment and thank you so much for memorializing and sharing the moment with us all. If I thought Disney would do a quality upgrade to this classic attraction, I wouldn't be upset but their track record of trashing classic attractions, i.e. Journey Into Imagination, El Rio del Tiempo, ect. gives little hope that turning this classic into another princess meet and greet featuring budget friendly projections is truly sad. It will always have a special place in my heart that another darn princess isn't going to replace.

I was amongst one of the last guests to ever ridden splash mountain. The last operating day of Splash Mountain will always be the most memorable and bestest moment ever throughout the years I’ve been going to Disney World since I was very little. Splash Mountain has been my favorite attraction at MK for a few years that I’ve enjoyed riding the most. I’ve even dedicated my entire day just riding Splash Mountain on its final operating day from park open to past park closing for a total of 7 times in a row. Splash Mountain will always hold a special place in my heart. It will always be my favorite attraction in MK and of all-time. Time stamps for where I can be seen in the video: 0:06 - Right after the opening intro, I can be seen right underneath the entrance sign to the right of the guy wearing a reddish cap and a turquoise shirt 14:26 - 14:34 - After one CM says “Well friends, you’re the last ones…”, I can be seen in the very front of the second to last log for a quick second at 14:31. Then, Tom says “They’re the last guests.” 15:39 - 16:05 - I came down for my very last splash.

My Daughter and I were in our last ride around 9 pm and there was a small crowd cheering for us we were so excited we said forget everything else that is what we are doing the rest of the night. We stood on that bridge with our light up parade toys waving and yelling for 3/12- 4 hours. This was one of the saddest and most amazing Disney moments I have EVER HAD. The energy was amazing and people kept coming up to us and thanking us for doing this and other people came and went cheering but we were not leaving until that last boat. Our heads were pounding we have no voices today but soso worth it! Watching all the videos online and seeing our lights on that bridge is beyond cool, THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO! Our Uber driver picked us up at 1:30 AM. and said what happened? Why are you so late. All we could say was “long story” SPLASH THANKS FOR ALLTHE MEMORIES!

Always my favorite ride at Disney. Would ride it multiple times every trip I went. My most favorite was in 05 riding it three times in a row with my two brothers and mom. There was no line so the workers let us just stay in the same boat. Seeing the fireworks over the castle from the top of splash moutain was amazing. Last ride was this past July.

[@beau6345]

I grew up with a Disney fanatic for a mom. We went well over 100x (avg 3 day stay) from the time I was 3-18. We were even at MK on 9/11. We used to always go the week after Labor Day because it would always be so slow. We’d go back and forth between Splash and Big Thunder, never a wait. And as much as I loved this ride(and now grown, know the background) I’m happy to see what they do with it. But the only thing I feel sad for…..is WDW isn’t and will never be what it used to be. My kids won’t be able to experience it the way I did.

Song of the south took place after the civil war. The actor of uncle Remus, James Baskett was the first ever black actor to win an academy award. Walt was the man who made that happen. The two were great friends until the end. The movie taught people how to be nice to each other and accept people, no matter what color you are. The black cast had no issues with the movie. Splash mountain was based off the stories of Brer Rabbit. The stories were actually African American slave folk lore. These stories were told around camps when life got tough. Splash mountain showed that regardless of your skin tone, we can have courage, a laugh and an adventure. Disney has destroyed themselves. This was the last nail in the coffin. The fan boys will defend them until the end….but most of us have left. Universal studios all the way. Disney was my home. No longer. Disney officially died the day splash mountain died.

Like, I’m all for black representation and sincerely believe Tiana needed a ride. But it seems so disingenuous to close an apparently “racist” ride just after the protests of George Floyd (even though I know Disney claim the change was coming for years), and then replace it with a black princess. It really just feels like they scrambled to show that they weren’t racist. Sincerely disappointed. I’ve always found Universal to be better but this just solidifies my decision to not return to Magic Kingdom. It’s sad.

I use to work there and was on the opening crew. It is the only attraction with a talking computer in the control room, if something significant would happen the computer would say it. The attraction also has one of the most complicated intrusion systems.

12:48 "And I'm here to stay" 😭 Will miss this amazing attraction.

[@amberdevore3943]

i've only been old enough to ride this for about 7 years but i will always miss this ride it's so special to me because i was terrified of roller coasters when i was little and braid rabbit and his song were things that put me at ease

[@AlsArachnids]

So sad to see this iconic attraction go away. But am equally excited to see what they do with the retheme. (As long as Disney don't do a Disney of late and cheap out on it.)

So happy I was able to ride it one last time in July of 2022. We are all going to miss it and have the "Br'er" spot in our hearts lol.

Oh wow, I'm gonna miss that catchy and stuck in your head Zip a Dee Doo Dah song. Love the ending, perfection!! Thank you for this for one last time at WDW. Now Disneyland has the last remaining one open.

[@SwagMessiah1]

There is also one in Japan that currently has no plans of being changed

[@ScottWallace5]

@@SwagMessiah1 Ohh interesting! I thought there was another one, but wasn't sure if they were changing that or not too. Thank you for the info!

[@davidguthrie6316]

@@ScottWallace5 It was sad to say goodbye to the original at Disneyland, but ONE DAY, I WILL go on it in Tokyo. One day...

I’m gonna miss this ride. So many memories with my family back in the early-2000’s when things were good

[@117jester]

I met Tom about 15-20 minutes before 11pm. So good to see this video put up! I hate to see splash mountain go, but it was in dire need of an update. The cheering crowd was great and had been doing that for hours by time of close.

[@blackfox1320]

The "update" is projectors. This will be super cheap.

[@WDWNT]

I’m fairness, I’ve seen the animatronics and they look great

[@CoastersAndWater]

@@WDWNTwhere did you see them?

[@chrisr3794]
