Splash Mountain reviews
Theme Park Insider readers offer their ratings and reviews for Splash Mountain, a flume ride in Critter Country at Disneyland. (The minimum height to ride is 40 inches.)
Written by Robert Niles If you've not seen "Song of the South," here's the story: Br'er Fox is trying to catch Br'er Rabbit, with the help of Br'er Bear. Br'er Rabbit, who lives in the Briar Patch, is a bit of a ne'er-do-well, always looking for his Laughin' Place. One day, Br'er Fox manages to grab Br'er Rabbit, who pleads for his life, begging not to be thrown into the Briar Patch. Brer Fox falls for this bit of reverse psychology, and throws him over the falls into the Briar Patch, where Br'er Rabbit escapes and meets up with all his friends for a colorful finale on Doo-Dah Landing.
Readers' rating:
the ride aspect is perfect. But the scenes are hard to follow and story wise, it's patchy. But I'm coming from Florida where the WDW version tells the story much much better. And the ride is longer in Florida. - Skipper Adam i LOVE this ride!! HIGHLY recommended this ride! The best log ride ive ever been on! thank you disney! why arnt log rides like this?!?! cuz disneyland is awesome!!! - N O My most appreciated aspect of this ride is the "double seat" in the back row. I was able to have my daughter sit next to me (so I could hold on to her) - plus we didn't get as wet! :) - Amy Tupper My favorite ride at disneyland. Love the drops and I love the dark ride portions of the ride. Plus its even more fun with a group. - Brett Munyon This my favorite water ride. It is a fun attraction. - nick . Easily the best ride that Disneyland has to offer. Bar none! It's a ton of fun from start to finish, and I love every moment of it (especially the big drop, which is indeed the biggest highlight of the ride). What's even better is that it has a single rider entrance for whenever the line is longer than 30 minutes, which is something I use all the time whenever I visit Disneyland on the more busier days. - Bryce Lewis Splash Mountain is one of the best rides that Disney has. There are a couple of practice drops before the big one. When you are falling to Brer Patch (the big drop), smile as there is a camra on the right hand side. When you leave the ride it has pictures of people screming,crying,smiling, etc.. on the wall so everyone can enjoy them. - Erik Cobbs The WDW version is equally great. The main difference is that the dark ride portion is longer at the Magic Kingdom, while the final drop is more hair raising at Disneyland. I wear a poncho on both... - Sylvain Comeau Due to long lines I had never riding this attraction until this past weekend. WOW! worth the wait. Excellent example of what makes disneyland such a unique and awesome park. 100% chance of getting wet. Great for those hot days. - Erik Avila More attraction and restaurant ratings:
