  • Splash Mountain at Disneyland is closing Forever! And so we visit on the Final day of Brer Rabbit's famous log ride, which from 1989-2023 has been delighting and soaking guests, who for 34 years have visited the Laughing place, the Briar patch, and climbed up inside Chickapin hill to Splash down
    along the rivers of America in Critter Country in Disneyland!
    We take you inside the final day from Pre-opening to Post-closing, both inside the ride with multiple splashdowns and commentary, and outside to see the characters, hubbub, the final farewells, and even see Tony Baxter himself, the creator of Splash Mountain ... well, we'll get to that!
    See Tiana's Bayou adventure as it was "back in our day!" and travel back one last time to the laughing place of our childhoods ! Disneyland style!

    40:00 That's too cool that you ran into Tony Baxter like that! Enjoying his creation one last time! But I thought the imagineers that were with him knowing who you were was even cooler.

    56:16 that’s me with the bottle of splash mountain water lol. Such a memorable night, everyone daring me to drink it was the best part 😂

      @TheThomasCritic21871138 Год назад +6

      Side note: I saw on tiktok that people were told to pour their water back in the ride, I guess I was more slick about it since when I collected it I only heard “please keep your hands inside the log”.

      ok but what did you do with the water, did you stash it away or sell it, with the ride "gone" that has got to sell for a pretty penny now.

    Although we knew that Splash Mountain wasn't open yet when we arrived to Disneyland on July 13, 1989, my buddy Troy Parker and I headed straight to Critter Country to see the progress on the biggest addition to Disneyland ever. To our surprise, we were invited to ride! It was my first soft opening ever!

    I'm from the UK and rode Splash Mountain when my parents took me to California in 1997. I finally got to come back and relieve it again just three weeks ago. Had no idea when I booked my trip that I'd be riding Splash Mountain again and just before it closed but I'm so glad I did! Thank you for this video it's excellent 😍

    Took me right back to 1992 when I opened Professor Barnaby Owl's Photographic Art Studio. So many photos were "dumped" for inappropriate behavior, and they were always a hoot to see. When I worked the opening shift, we were put on the first logs when they "tested" the ride. I worked New Orleans/Critter Country Merch until 1995, before Crocodile Mercantile was re-named Pooh Corner. Things change, but the feelings remain the same.

    This ride will be surely be missed. It was a great ride during the summer on a hot day. The only water ride at Disneyland will be Grizzly River Run at DCA. I bet the line for that ride will be insane for that ride during the summer. Goodbye Splash Mountain 😢😭.

    That was well worth the wait, you captured the excitement and enthusiasm of Splash Mountain’s final splashdown. It was great seeing Tony Baxter’s last ride on his brainchild, thanks for capturing that. I’ve only had the nerve to ride it once, that final drop got to me. I remembered those animatronics, especially around the showboat, from America Sings, when it was in the Carousel of Progress building (as it will ever be in my mind, just as the Chinese Theater will always be Grauman’s). Too bad Adam the Woo wasn’t around to help YOU say goodbye to YOUR Splash Mountain, but oh well. Anyhow, thanks for taking several for the team and getting suitably soaked, and sharing the fun, great job!

    Totally worth the wait! I say this as a guy who worked in television post production his entire adult life, 20+ as a telecine colorist (I color corrected network television series and a few feature films); this video is excellent. The exposure, color, sound and content will make this one of the defining videos of the last day of this fantastic ride.

    Gosh, it's been 34 years? I went to the opening on July 17 that year. I remember seeing Michael Eisner, Jim Varney and yes, Tony Baxter. Hardly anybody was in line for it, as it was supposed to open at 2 p.m., after the celebrities were to be finished. But it opened early at 11 and I must have been in the first few dozen or so in line. I remember running through the empty queue, stumbling down over the stair step in the big barn, then running the rest of the way to the loading area. Almost everybody from the opening had left, but KABC reporter Barney Morris (smoking a cigarette) and Tony Baxter were still there after I got off the ride.

    When I got to the park lightning lane was sold out. I got to ride it 4 times that day. Used single rider and the last one before it closed I was in the line. In face I was 15min ahead of you in line. Then a few feet from you as we watched the last few flumes go down.

I also really wanted a picture with the Br'er Rabbit well, but unfortunately that didn't happen :( I did get to see it with my own eyes tho!
    I said this on your Disney World Splash video, but I gotta say it again: I really appreciate these. It's nice to know this ride will live in Randomland forever 🥲
