Splash Mountain

Flume ride
Minimum height to ride: 40 inches

About Splash Mountain

This flume ride takes you through the Song of the South story filled with audio animatronics and then down a 52 ft. drop at 40 MPH. This has become the all time favorite ride for the Magic Kingdom. -- Last edited by Molly R

You can't miss that ride, Disneyphiles and first-timers! This is my fifteenth year of riding the log flume (Personally, I like it better that Dudley Do Right's Rip Saw Falls at IOA, and it reflects the accent that many adults living here in central Florida and the northern part speak and the culture around here. I recommend the back rows and the left side of the logs to those who prefer their ride experience to be a bit damp. Oh, and I strongly recommend a Fastpass to those vying for a ride, as the crazy lines (further aggravated by the Brazilian and Argentinian tour groups in the summer and winter) Don't miss it - it's a "Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah" ride! - Tiffany Alfonso

It makes a lot of sense this is in Frontierland. This is beautiful, and SOMEWHAT better than the one in DL. But I love them both. - M.S. Cool

If only we could combine the ride action of Rip Saw Falls with the amazing show at Splash Mountain! I love Splash Mountain. I grew up with the Song of the South stories and its great fun to know that such an amazing ride was built around those characters. Other than the often excruciatingly long wait to get OFF the ride, it’s almost perfection. - Rob McCullough

Possibly the best ride at MK. - Mark Moore

great ride , great theming - tyler bell

This was my first time riding Splash Mountain this year. I was very impressed with the theming, ride length, and drops. All around great ride. This is now the top log flume ride on my list! - Don Neal

Much better than the usual log flume rides. Tells a story with a wonderful and climatic ending! - Alex Gamso

Commendable. The best flume ride around, with amazing music and scenery. The drop ain't bad, either. I enjoy riding at night, especially after hours when the tourists no longer want to get wet. It would be "Perfect" if they tweaked the animatronics - they're starting to diminish. Oh, and the lineups are gargantuan. - Joshua Counsil

It is a nicely themed ride but in today's day and age kids are going to prefer Dudley Do Right or almost any of the more exciting water rides at Universal - jim mclaughlin

The best water ride anywhere. Splash Mountain combines great music, story, and scenery with a very well done flume. This lengthy ride has brer rabbit visiting the laughing place before he is caught by brer fox and sent over the briar patch. The dark ride portion of this ride would be a good enough ride by itself but with the drops, this ride is a Disney classic. This is an absolute must ride and my pick for the best attraction at the Magic Kingdom. Splash Mountain has some of the longest lines in the park especially during the summer. Get a fastpass as 60+ minute waits are not uncommon for this ride. If you are looking to stay dry on this ride than sitting in the back is your best bet but you will probably still get a bit wet. - Manny Barron
