It might be bittersweet saying goodbye to Splash Mountain but Tiana's Bayou Adventure looks very promising and I can't wait to head down the bayou! We can cherish the memories we have of this ride over the last 3 decades but now it's onto a new chapter that will create memories for millions of people in the future!
In 1999 on our honeymoon my husband got stuck on this ride for so long the music is burned into our brains. We finally got walked off which was not as cool as some other rides. But we always loved it. Our last ride was 9/24/22 while celebrating our daughter's 21st birthday. It will be missed
Can't even truly explain how sad I am that this ride is going away. I know it's "just a ride", but it was so much more than that for me. Some of my fondest memories as a child were on this ride. Everything about this ride is perfect. Characters, soundtrack, atmosphere, storytelling, everything was simply incredible. My all-time favorite amusement park ride, and I don't think it will ever be topped. I can understand why the change is being made, but Splash Mountain is such an icon in amusement park history, it just doesn't feel right being replaced
@@samboi123 it def won’t just because people will be excited to ride the new ride but overtime tianas will definitely become much less popular than splash mountain
@@saulgoodman4929 100%. Disney will think it’s a win because of the first few months, then they’ll realize how bad they messed up. I’ll probably ride Tiana’s once so I can say I gave it a chance, but Splash is my favorite ride. There’s no replacing this for me.
I mean this is more than a ride. This is an experience! You just look at how it takes you through a whole story, it gives you the sense that you’re not even on the same ride you started on. That view after the drop too, looking back on the mountain and the stump. Amazing!!! Iconic! Truly iconic! This version out of the 3 is in my opinion the best. There will never be anything like it again. New attractions may come close, but this one was absolute perfection. And that you will not get again.
Don't worry once disney realizes the loss in profits due to the princess and the frog ride they will restore splash mountain. It may take a historic preservation activist to do so but it will be restored. Don't give up hope.
@@mapgar1479If the "racism" is all the problem, why not to change it and show only funny and cute animals with br'er rabbit instead of completely destroy it?
This was my absolute favorite ride as a kid. Every year I’d run straight to it as soon as my mom and I got to the park. The music, the smell of the water, getting my clothes all wet on a hot day, reminds me of some of the happiest memories of my life.
The momory of riding Splash Mountain will never be forgotten. I'm 29 years old and to this day I still remember when our dad supprised my sister's and I with a trip to WDW when I was 12. Splash Mountain was the very first ride we did. One of the best memories growing up and I will forever hold that memory.

This ride is one of the reasons why I’m a theme park enthusiast today, and it makes me so sad to see this go. This my 2nd favorite attraction of all time, and I’m gonna miss it dearly.
This ride has a place in my heart. As I’m getting older I don’t go to magic kingdom that often anymore, but this was a pretty darn good ride. I remember going down the big drop with my cousin, holding his arm as tight as I could. He’s like the older brother that I never had. This ride is amazing and it’s sad to see it go. It’s amazing sound track, animatronics, and drops of course. This will be a memory to everybody of getting absolutely soaked. And just always remember that you may get wet.
Same! I'll never forget running to it and going for a ride on it at 2 a.m. during extra magic hours. It was, for lack of better words, magic. I still smile every so often thinking back to memories like that. It holds a special place in my heart and always will, and I won't shy away from admitting i'm sad it's being renovated.

Positively devastating. This was my all time favorite ride. Such a shame Disney. Thank you TPM vids for still caring about this ride and saying farewell to it. Some people will just never be happy.
My favorite ride ever.... I can't think of another ride that lasts this long. Most rides you wait hours for a 3 min thrill... this one lasts like 12 minutes. It's so great!
I was afraid of this ride when i was younger. but i went on for my first (and last) time. i cant believe what i was missing out on. thanks splash mountain for powering through all these years. at least the concept for the new ride will be the same, a log flume. but splash mountain will be missed greatly by all disney fans. farewell!
This video is fantastic! Thanks for splicing in footage of the bouncing Brer Rabbit AA in its working state. It sure brings back memories! You'll be missed, Splash Mountain! Here's to the future!
When I was at the parks for my October 2021 trip I said my own farewell to this ride, definitely a major fan favorite that has brought lots of memories to many guests Gotta admit, this was my favorite one, gonna miss it a lot…
Splash Mountain was Imagineering at its peak. It feels like a ride Walt Disney and his original imagineers created, definitely on the level of Pirates of the Caribbean and Haunted Mansion. Losing Zip a Dee Do Dah in the parks is also a major loss
Absolutely. Someone said it best when they called it "the most Disney ride at a Disney Park". It checked every box for what a theme park ride should be. Naturally, awful modern-day DEIsney would remove it.
@@dylhurlsldr You clearly have never watched the movie, nor understand actual history. It was set during a specific time period in the US, and I hate to break it to you, but just because there was a class of people that were not classified as "free citizens", did not mean they were suffering or being tortured. The movie was very uplifting. No one was offended by it, at least until the marxist wanting to push critical race theory in teh US started telling everyone to be offended. As Mr T would put it, I pity the fool who just went along with it. The world is crap today specifically because you people accept the word of bad actors, trying to create a racial revolution.
@@dylhurlsldrclearly you didn’t watch the movie. The movie setting was during the reconstruction era when slavery was what?? ABOLISHED! Do you want me to repeat it for you? Abolished means it was gone.
Yeah and it had so much dark spaces, and a lousy drop off with a song "Dig A Little Deeper" song playing instead of "Almost There" or "Friends on the other side", I'd rather watch Belle's Magical World or The Little Mermaid 2, or Cinderella II Dreams Come True. At this point Disney World Imagineers should update Tiana's Bayou Adventure with more pink flamingo statues, 3 possums on a tree branch, lady butterflies and more TV screens filling the dark spaces playing stock footage from The Princess and the Frog. There should be villains like Reggie, Darnell, Two Fingers, Lawrence or maybe Dr. Facilier spirit and play "Friends on the Other Side" which I would've enjoyed more. Once I go on this ride at Disneyland and it turns out to be just as boring as Jungle Cruise ride, then I'll forget about it and go on other Disneyland rides. I'd much rather ride the awful spinning teacups than go on Tiana's Beta Adventure.
It’s because the movie it’s based of “song of the south” had black people working like slaves and being happy this made others angry and hate the movie even though the movie takes place after the civil war where most black people went back to their jobs only this time getting paid which is why there happy but a lot of people don’t know this so the ride is getting shut down
I had the honor of riding it for the first ever time this month. I loved it!!! It was our families first ever time at Disney and I had no clue they were closing this ride down til a few days after we had rode it. It was so much fun. It will be missed dearly.
As someone who went on this ride the last time right before it closed I can confirm that this ride was better than the new Tiana ride and I went on that ride yesterday ( coming from someone who’s fav movie is the Princess and the frog )
I agree. Disney would have done great if they opened a brand new Tiana water ride that was done very detailed. They could have kept this ride. I say don’t cancel history and pretend it doesn’t exist especially when the Brer folklore, while tied to a controversial film, is NOT an issue.
Disney is changing so many things that left so many memories for my children and grandchildren, and some of their friends that I don't know if I want to go back
Nothing was ever supposed to be set in stone. Walt himself said that the parks are never finished and that they are always going to be expanding and bringing in new stuff.
Splash mountain is timeless, it is a work of art that uplifts your spirit after you ride it. If they can change this to Tianna, then surely they can change it back
So true, watching this brought me back to a simpler time. I will reserve my judgement about the new princess and the frog ride until it comes out, but I don't see how it will equal this masterpiece
@@syth091You'll find that r-ism tends to have some.. convenience associated with it. Some things ARE.. and others AREN'T.. depending on the moment. It's very bankable as a concept. Sort of gives a person a lot of leeway when demanding behavior changes from others
Iger loves IP. Everything IP. Splash Mountain can't be remade into profitable IP because of Song of the South so it was replaced by IP. Maelstrom is Frozen. Tower of Terror is Guardians of the Galaxy. I hate Iger.
I love that you captured this for the records. In such clear quality too. I have never been able to make out everything so clearly when I rode. The sounds are always so loud and overlap each other. So I miss certain characters dialog. While I will miss this fun ride. I am excited to see the Princess and the Frog remake of this.
What an amazing ride, it’s hard to describe how cool it is when you do the first big drop into the darkness and the music sounds chilling all of a sudden
Thanks for posting this. Unfortunatelly my family didn't want to ride it with me back in 2011, and knowing that I'll never be able to ride it tears my heart out... rip Splash Mountain
I went in October and this was a ride I MADE SURE to go on. Incredible ride and THAT DROP OMG! Something I’ll never forget. Thanks for the memory, Splash Mountain! We’ll miss you!!!
@@miahlove1753 there’s one big drop I found scary because it felt like I was gonna fall off but it was fine. Especially with the big splash at the end that made it really fun!
Literally sobbing, wishing I could have this ride back after seeing the abomination that is Tiana‘s Bayou adventure today. Rip Splash Mountain. You will be missed. 😭😭😭
Words cannot describe how much I'm going to miss this masterpiece of Imagineering. Everything about it from the music, to the colourful characters, to the warm and wholesome atmosphere is just perfect. My ultimate comfort ride. I will never forgive Disney for taking this away. I'd be so much happier if they re-themed one and left the other alone, like Tower of Terror/Mission Breakout. Smh... Shameful. I was never a fan of Princess movies. Always preferred Disney's animal movies.
By evolving, we lose our history sometimes. I for one, love to see the sights and sounds I had as a child for it will momentarily take me back to a simpler time. It’s a shame when they discard like this.
You've made a stunning farewell video to this attraction, thanks for doing that! Many mourne the loss of this attraction, but I am hopeful for the retheme and hope I can make memories on it as well!
It’s so hard to see this ride go. The feelings of anxiety and excitement, fear and fun, as a kid this was the best ride. We’ll truly never forget splash mountain and all the beautiful memories it’s created for us. Thank you splash mountain 🥺😭
Thank you so much for posting this. I’m 38 now and about to be 39 in a few months. I’ve always loved this ride and singing along with it and of course getting wet on a hot summer FL day was a major perk. I’m so sad to have heard it’s no longer. I understand change can be a good thing, but sometimes the classics are better. We’ll just have to see how the future for Tiana’s Bayou ride goes. Till then Zipa Dee doo dah.
yep. And its so weird because you can see what they could have done with little costs on the updates. But this has more heart and spirit thats based on a movie a good majority have never seen.
Thanks for sharing. We just visited and missed the last day by two days. 😢. So glad the technology exists to perfectly retain the magic of these rides in such amazing quality.
@@RyanM95 yup. same boat. I had no issue with the retheme, I understood why they'd want to do it, but I really thought they wouldn't botch it that hard. Why make the ride take place after the movie? There are no stakes left by the end of the movie, so the ride is just Tiana's Na'vi River Journey - it's crazy how badly they dropped the ball on this
This ride was both my savior and nightmare growing up. I have epilepsy and can barely sweat. Overheating is a trigger for me so as soon as I started to feel too warm we would book the next available time for this ride so I could be cooled off and feel cooler for the rest of the day. This was my grandma's first water ride and she got the front row seat; my mom had to force her to switch seats with her because my grandma didn't know what was coming🤣. But I also remember the 3 second stop at the top of the steepest hill and looking down at the thorns, even as an older teen, thinking that the thorns would be the death of me. But there was always that tunnel underneath and that serene feeling as I took a deep breath out. As disney would say "This is a core memory" for sure.💜💜💜💜 Thank you Splash Mountain.
Splash Mountain is still better imo, Tiana's Bayou got lots of empty spaces and felt a bit lifeless but the Mardi Gras part was awesome. Splash Mountain got lots of empty spots too but the theme of the ride didn't make them feel out of place unlike the party theme which Tiana's Bayou going for
im definitely going to miss splash mountain, its always been my favorite ride bc of the music and the scenery. honestly, its one of the most beautiful rides ever, but im rlly excited to see the new tiana version!!
I'm glad I got to ride Splash Mountain in 2018. I would've never guessed it was closing. But, I'm excited to see how Tiana's Bayou Adventure turns out.
I was lucky enough and extremely privileged to have gotten a chance to ride both Magic Kingdom and Disneyland's version one last time last year. The narrow logs on Disneyland's felt like they just zoomed right down the flume.
I am, I noticed the moron that commented “cry harder” after your comment. This ride was absolutely fantastic and we all loved it, I’m just happy that it existed and that ultimately all of us that raised concern over modern imagineerings ability to create a good experience were proven right! 😊
I'm excited to see what the Tiana ride will look like, but this vid is so bittersweet. I'm glad I got to ride a few times over the years. We'll miss you, Splash Mountain!
I don’t have any nostalgia for SM so I’m super excited for the re-theme. But I totally understand those who are sad to say goodbye. I would literally cry if they ever changed POTC.
Bro splash mountain has a very special place in my heart because the first time I went to Disneyland we went on splash mountain and I sat in the very front so I felt very accomplished
I don’t understand why they can’t make a new movie with all the animated characters and refurbish the ride of the new movie. It would change the reputation and even add to/fix some parts of the ride.
@@ChickenCoop82 but symbols can change Through this ride the brar rabbit built a new legacy But the removal of this ride is just going to cause him to be forever stuck as a "song of the south character" These people didn't remove a racist symbol They made a reformed symbol racist again All because someone needed somthing to fight against because was to lazy to actually make a difference in the world
I went back to WDW for the first time in like 14 years with my mom last summer and I got to go on this masterpiece on last time, so glad I did, this was sure a gem to experience before it was laid to rest!
I'll never forget my first time riding this, we went to Disney for my 8th birthday and it was my mom, aunt brother and I and this ride was just always so fun to go on. I will miss it a lot and I'm sure many others will. Never forget splash mountain
7:40 i mean just look at this its soo tense going up that hill right before the big drop. all of that is lost with the new one and it wouldn't take much to fix it cus all they would have to do is have friends of the other side playing and have the dr at the top.
I am happy I got to ride this twice. I am thankful that my parents took me to Magic Kingdom as a ten and twelve year old. Now, I am twenty, and I already have nostalgia for this ride. RIP Splash😢 Until I see you again. (In Tokyo)
Just watched this after Tiana pov. The 'dead space' works in the original because it's building up tension, and the story, music and characters slowly unfold. Plus it gets slightly creepy with the music getting faster and more chaotic to the buildup of the big drop. Whoever designed Tiana just missed all that. They didn't even include the villain which would have added so much tension before the drop. It looks so disappointing.
@@jonathanmarkowski5081that’s not an excuse for making a terrible, bland ride. Modern left-wing disney is creatively bankrupt. No soul or heart, all the foundations pulled out and just plummeting into the earth.
Thanks for taking US on this last journey as Splash Mountain. Not a lot of parks can boast attractions of 30, 40, or even 50 yrs! Lets hope Tiana's will be a worthy successor. I personally had a different dark ride treatment for the movie as an attraction ONLY @ Disneyland. Even had the place for it. We don't have "clone" every ride.
I’m so happy I got to ride it one last time 2 years ago. I would’ve gone again last year but the prices have been so crazy my family and I opted for Universal instead. Thank you for posting this.
Maybe we didn’t always agree with Michael Eisner’s decisions, but more often than not, he believed in Disney and delivered greatness. I bet he’s shuddering at what they did to this classic.
I first went to Splash Mountain when I was 4 years old, absolutely loved it. When I went back home to Scotland, I always begged my parents to take me back to Florida next holiday. My wish was granted 4 years later, and it was the first ride we visited when we went to the Magic Kingdom. I always vowed when I was old enough to travel independently that I'd go to Splash Mountain on my own, now I'm close to 27, life and circumstances got in the way, and now I am full of sadness and regret for not going sooner. It's true, nothing ever lasts forever, but I'll never forget how it made me feel till the day I die.
This is my favourite ride in WDW. It is just a classic masterpiece of a ride. I love the animatronics, the music and the feel of it all. It was wonderfully designed. The best kind of theme park ride. Has adorable theme and a little trill too. Perfect for everyone. Is there maybe another Splash Mountain on one of Disney other theme parks maybe?
Well good news! Aside from the American parks, Splash Mountain is located in Tokyo Disneyland! And the best part? The Oriental Land Company, which owns TDL, has gone on the record saying that their version of Splash will remain for a long time.
When I found out splash mountain was closing for re-branding on the 22nd I booked a quick 3-day trip to Disney for the 18th through the 21st. I am so excited to go back to Disney after almost 9 years, so I can ride this one last time.
Glad most the animatronics were working on this run through. Great to see it recorded in such good quality for others to enjoy long after it's gone. Not a substitute for the real thing sadly, but fond memories.
you'll be forever missed. i may not had gotten the chance to ride Splash Mountain for the last time but ill still have the memories. No matter how i feel about the retheme for this, nothing can replace this classic log ride experience. This will always be one of my favorites and may you rest in peace Splash Mountain/Brier Patch

I never rode on the ride of splash mountain what was it really like what do other see in it
Same. Splash mountain is my 2nd favorite ride and my friends 1st. I'm gonna literally wear black on the day it closes at Disneyland.
I’m gonna miss it a lot too.
Progressive liberals ruin everything. One day people are going to have enough of their crap.
Anyone else here to relive greatness after just being bored from the new Tiana POV?
Me :(
Me 😭
Me
YEP! 🤣
Me sad thing is is I never got to ride splash Mountain
Splash Mountain was Imagineering at its peak. It feels like a ride Walt Disney and his original imagineers created, definitely on the level of Pirates of the Caribbean and Haunted Mansion.
Losing Zip a Dee Do Dah in the parks is also a major loss
Agreed.
Absolutely. Someone said it best when they called it "the most Disney ride at a Disney Park". It checked every box for what a theme park ride should be. Naturally, awful modern-day DEIsney would remove it.
I went to That ride back in 2016 Now This is goodbye
Farewell splash mountain
1992-2022❤ We Will Never Forget
It's sad that splash mountain has to go now rest in peace splash mountain
@@brightmacsworld8353 yeah We Will
So happy I was able to experience splash mountain in my lifetime ❤
I'll be singing "How Do You Do?", "Everybody's Got a Laughing Place" & "Zippity Doo Dah" when I ride the new ride.
lol I would do the same
😭😭😭😭💔 There was NO NEED to destroy this masterpiece !!!
According to Yuri Bezmenov, their "need" to destroy it is part of the subversion process.
@@dylhurlsldr You clearly have never watched the movie, nor understand actual history. It was set during a specific time period in the US, and I hate to break it to you, but just because there was a class of people that were not classified as "free citizens", did not mean they were suffering or being tortured.
The movie was very uplifting. No one was offended by it, at least until the marxist wanting to push critical race theory in teh US started telling everyone to be offended. As Mr T would put it, I pity the fool who just went along with it.
The world is crap today specifically because you people accept the word of bad actors, trying to create a racial revolution.
@@dylhurlsldrI can’t imagine living life so offended by everything all the time. It must be exhausting for you to live that way. 🤦♂️
The 1% thought they were being offended.
@@dylhurlsldrclearly you didn’t watch the movie. The movie setting was during the reconstruction era when slavery was what?? ABOLISHED! Do you want me to repeat it for you? Abolished means it was gone.
Wow, I can’t believe they replaced this beauty with a Princess and the Frog continuation that is half-finished.
Yeah and it had so much dark spaces, and a lousy drop off with a song "Dig A Little Deeper" song playing instead of "Almost There" or "Friends on the other side", I'd rather watch Belle's Magical World or The Little Mermaid 2, or Cinderella II Dreams Come True. At this point Disney World Imagineers should update Tiana's Bayou Adventure with more pink flamingo statues, 3 possums on a tree branch, lady butterflies and more TV screens filling the dark spaces playing stock footage from The Princess and the Frog. There should be villains like Reggie, Darnell, Two Fingers, Lawrence or maybe Dr. Facilier spirit and play "Friends on the Other Side" which I would've enjoyed more. Once I go on this ride at Disneyland and it turns out to be just as boring as Jungle Cruise ride, then I'll forget about it and go on other Disneyland rides. I'd much rather ride the awful spinning teacups than go on Tiana's Beta Adventure.
It’s because the movie it’s based of “song of the south” had black people working like slaves and being happy this made others angry and hate the movie even though the movie takes place after the civil war where most black people went back to their jobs only this time getting paid which is why there happy but a lot of people don’t know this so the ride is getting shut down
@@Cheesy653who cares, no one goes on that ride and says that, the new ride sucks
It’s early so it’ll get better
@@Jack_marston15its literally the same ride without the theming get over it
I had the honor of riding it for the first ever time this month. I loved it!!! It was our families first ever time at Disney and I had no clue they were closing this ride down til a few days after we had rode it. It was so much fun. It will be missed dearly.
As someone who went on this ride the last time right before it closed I can confirm that this ride was better than the new Tiana ride and I went on that ride yesterday ( coming from someone who’s fav movie is the Princess and the frog )
I agree. Disney would have done great if they opened a brand new Tiana water ride that was done very detailed. They could have kept this ride. I say don’t cancel history and pretend it doesn’t exist especially when the Brer folklore, while tied to a controversial film, is NOT an issue.
Disney is changing so many things that left so many memories for my children and grandchildren, and some of their friends that I don't know if I want to go back
Nothing was ever supposed to be set in stone. Walt himself said that the parks are never finished and that they are always going to be expanding and bringing in new stuff.
Missing this more today after seeing the full new POV :(
Me too😢
Splash mountain is timeless, it is a work of art that uplifts your spirit after you ride it.
If they can change this to Tianna, then surely they can change it back
We will all miss splash mountain 😢
This brings back nostalgia
Omg facts
Lol true
Me too
So true, watching this brought me back to a simpler time. I will reserve my judgement about the new princess and the frog ride until it comes out, but I don't see how it will equal this masterpiece
@@_verticallyakob5162 Same
I can't believe how much better and how much more fun this looks compared to the new Tiana garbage. Disney truly has lost it's magic and it's marbles.
Bring. It. Back.
never happen blacks wont allow it they are the reason the ride is dead
It doesn’t make any sense that Disney did not just like fix the animatronics and add a couple, rip splash mountain you will always be missed.
it does a lot of racism around the ride
@@TheGmaeGroup examples?
@@syth091 its narrated by a slave glorifying slavery
@@syth091You'll find that r-ism tends to have some.. convenience associated with it. Some things ARE.. and others AREN'T.. depending on the moment.
It's very bankable as a concept. Sort of gives a person a lot of leeway when demanding behavior changes from others
Iger loves IP. Everything IP. Splash Mountain can't be remade into profitable IP because of Song of the South so it was replaced by IP. Maelstrom is Frozen. Tower of Terror is Guardians of the Galaxy.
I hate Iger.
I love that you captured this for the records. In such clear quality too.
I have never been able to make out everything so clearly when I rode. The sounds are always so loud and overlap each other. So I miss certain characters dialog.
While I will miss this fun ride. I am excited to see the Princess and the Frog remake of this.
What an amazing ride, it’s hard to describe how cool it is when you do the first big drop into the darkness and the music sounds chilling all of a sudden
Thanks for posting this. Unfortunatelly my family didn't want to ride it with me back in 2011, and knowing that I'll never be able to ride it tears my heart out... rip Splash Mountain
@Maddox2021 - Comedy and More Alternate 🗿
I feel sorry for you. It's one of my favorites
Your family was wrong to deny you this ride. My heart aches for you my friend.
Same here in 2010!
The ride and most of the exact track layout will still exist, it will just be re-themed!
It’s sad that splash mountain is going soon, I wish it never left / is leaving
I never went on this ride of splash mountain
I went in October and this was a ride I MADE SURE to go on. Incredible ride and THAT DROP OMG! Something I’ll never forget. Thanks for the memory, Splash Mountain! We’ll miss you!!!
Was it scary I’m getting on it when it becomes the princess and the frog themed and I wanna prepare myself 😭😂
@@miahlove1753 there’s one big drop I found scary because it felt like I was gonna fall off but it was fine. Especially with the big splash at the end that made it really fun!
I was just there a few weeks ago! Was saddened to hear it's going away. But I was thankful that I got to ride it one last time!
I was genuinely devastated when I heard they were closing it. This is my personal favorite ride i have ever been on
Literally sobbing, wishing I could have this ride back after seeing the abomination that is Tiana‘s Bayou adventure today. Rip Splash Mountain. You will be missed. 😭😭😭
At least the Disney Tokyo one is still there. (Disney is pushing to change it but the company incharge of that park will not allow it, thank god!)
Womp womp get over it .
Why you crying? It’s just a ride relax! At least ppl if this generation know the characters now 😂
@@caciee.e6050Try having a heart
so dramatic
Disney blew it yet again. Good grief, day and night difference!
the good old days of going to disney are long gone.
Bring back Splash Mountain!!!!
They can’t because the movie that splash Mountain is based off is pretty let’s just say inappropriate about skin color so they had to get rid of it
Words cannot describe how much I'm going to miss this masterpiece of Imagineering. Everything about it from the music, to the colourful characters, to the warm and wholesome atmosphere is just perfect. My ultimate comfort ride. I will never forgive Disney for taking this away.
I'd be so much happier if they re-themed one and left the other alone, like Tower of Terror/Mission Breakout. Smh... Shameful. I was never a fan of Princess movies. Always preferred Disney's animal movies.
I never rode on the ride of splash mountain never have never will and never did
Or don't even remove splash at all just make a new ride all together
@@Thedoorway123 Agreed. That's what they should have done all along. Tiana deserves her own attraction, not table scraps.
Violet: Sure...slap our names on an old ride.
By evolving, we lose our history sometimes. I for one, love to see the sights and sounds I had as a child for it will momentarily take me back to a simpler time. It’s a shame when they discard like this.
You've made a stunning farewell video to this attraction, thanks for doing that! Many mourne the loss of this attraction, but I am hopeful for the retheme and hope I can make memories on it as well!
It’s so hard to see this ride go. The feelings of anxiety and excitement, fear and fun, as a kid this was the best ride. We’ll truly never forget splash mountain and all the beautiful memories it’s created for us. Thank you splash mountain 🥺😭
Thank you so much for posting this. I’m 38 now and about to be 39 in a few months. I’ve always loved this ride and singing along with it and of course getting wet on a hot summer FL day was a major perk. I’m so sad to have heard it’s no longer. I understand change can be a good thing, but sometimes the classics are better. We’ll just have to see how the future for Tiana’s Bayou ride goes. Till then Zipa Dee doo dah.
Who’s here after seeing the horrible Tianna ride through?
Just seen it, looks terrible, such a downgrade from a classic
Me
Me
yep. And its so weird because you can see what they could have done with little costs on the updates. But this has more heart and spirit thats based on a movie a good majority have never seen.
meeeeee
after being on Tiannas, I miss this version of it so much
Thanks for sharing. We just visited and missed the last day by two days. 😢. So glad the technology exists to perfectly retain the magic of these rides in such amazing quality.
Anyone here after seeing the Tiana bayou pov? 😭😭
Me. I’m devastated. 😭
🙋🏼♂️
@@RyanM95 yup. same boat. I had no issue with the retheme, I understood why they'd want to do it, but I really thought they wouldn't botch it that hard. Why make the ride take place after the movie? There are no stakes left by the end of the movie, so the ride is just Tiana's Na'vi River Journey - it's crazy how badly they dropped the ball on this
i didn’t even get the chance to get on the ride
Most definitely lol ..
This ride was both my savior and nightmare growing up. I have epilepsy and can barely sweat. Overheating is a trigger for me so as soon as I started to feel too warm we would book the next available time for this ride so I could be cooled off and feel cooler for the rest of the day. This was my grandma's first water ride and she got the front row seat; my mom had to force her to switch seats with her because my grandma didn't know what was coming🤣. But I also remember the 3 second stop at the top of the steepest hill and looking down at the thorns, even as an older teen, thinking that the thorns would be the death of me. But there was always that tunnel underneath and that serene feeling as I took a deep breath out. As disney would say "This is a core memory" for sure.💜💜💜💜 Thank you Splash Mountain.
Splash Mountain is still better imo, Tiana's Bayou got lots of empty spaces and felt a bit lifeless but the Mardi Gras part was awesome. Splash Mountain got lots of empty spots too but the theme of the ride didn't make them feel out of place unlike the party theme which Tiana's Bayou going for
im definitely going to miss splash mountain, its always been my favorite ride bc of the music and the scenery. honestly, its one of the most beautiful rides ever, but im rlly excited to see the new tiana version!!
I'm glad I got to ride Splash Mountain in 2018. I would've never guessed it was closing. But, I'm excited to see how Tiana's Bayou Adventure turns out.
Best log ride ever...
The greatest ride of all time...
Came here after Tiana... I am crying. Disney has lost its magic. RIP Splash Mountain... replaced with emptiness, screens, and dollar store decor.
Anyone here after the new Tiana’s pov?
I’m honestly really disappointed:(
@@sebastianjarski4246why
Disney F'd up royally with it!
I was lucky enough and extremely privileged to have gotten a chance to ride both Magic Kingdom and Disneyland's version one last time last year. The narrow logs on Disneyland's felt like they just zoomed right down the flume.
I'll take the old Splash Mountain any day over what's there now.
Anyone come back here after witnessing the disappointment of the The Princess and the Frog ride that replaced this one??
Cry harder
I am, I noticed the moron that commented “cry harder” after your comment. This ride was absolutely fantastic and we all loved it, I’m just happy that it existed and that ultimately all of us that raised concern over modern imagineerings ability to create a good experience were proven right! 😊
@@jilp2002by commenting “cry harder” you are basically telling us that you have the mental capacity of an eight year old.
First world problems
@@sift954 Thank god it's first world problems, darling.
i have amazing memories of this ride, i will miss it so much! im so glad there are many videos of this ride so i can always go on it again and again
I came to cleanse my eyes
I'm excited to see what the Tiana ride will look like, but this vid is so bittersweet. I'm glad I got to ride a few times over the years. We'll miss you, Splash Mountain!
I don’t have any nostalgia for SM so I’m super excited for the re-theme. But I totally understand those who are sad to say goodbye. I would literally cry if they ever changed POTC.
Bro splash mountain has a very special place in my heart because the first time I went to Disneyland we went on splash mountain and I sat in the very front so I felt very accomplished
How do you think it compares to the Dineyworld one?
I don’t understand why they can’t make a new movie with all the animated characters and refurbish the ride of the new movie. It would change the reputation and even add to/fix some parts of the ride.
The problem is what it’s based on, not necessarily the film itself
The characters still have a legacy attached to them
Never rode on this ride a splash mountain I never have I never will I don't think I'm going to
it’s cause the ride is based off of black people being mean to white people and that’s very offensive
@@ChickenCoop82 but symbols can change
Through this ride the brar rabbit built a new legacy
But the removal of this ride is just going to cause him to be forever stuck as a "song of the south character"
These people didn't remove a racist symbol
They made a reformed symbol racist again
All because someone needed somthing to fight against because was to lazy to actually make a difference in the world
@@RickLowerboy84bruh house of mouse is well over a decade old 😅
I LOVED this ride as a kid . Awwwwww it's gone and kids everywhere are missing out. 😢
I went back to WDW for the first time in like 14 years with my mom last summer and I got to go on this masterpiece on last time, so glad I did, this was sure a gem to experience before it was laid to rest!
I'll never forget my first time riding this, we went to Disney for my 8th birthday and it was my mom, aunt brother and I and this ride was just always so fun to go on. I will miss it a lot and I'm sure many others will. Never forget splash mountain
7:40 i mean just look at this its soo tense going up that hill right before the big drop. all of that is lost with the new one and it wouldn't take much to fix it cus all they would have to do is have friends of the other side playing and have the dr at the top.
I remember the day when both me and my dad went on this water ride - I am gonna miss it though - Have a zip a de do da farewell splash mountain
I never rode this ride, but it was a part of my childhood from the sing along songs video. Farewell and a final how do ya do. RIP Splash Mountain.
I am happy I got to ride this twice. I am thankful that my parents took me to Magic Kingdom as a ten and twelve year old. Now, I am twenty, and I already have nostalgia for this ride. RIP Splash😢 Until I see you again. (In Tokyo)
Splash mountain is my fav ride so I’m hoping it will be just a amazing as it is rn I just love the storyline of this ride I’ll miss splash mountain
SPLASH M WAS ONE OF THE BEST RIDES AT DW !! ALL THE BEST OF DW IS GOME !! THE ONLY MAGIC LEFT IS HOW YOUR CASH DISSAPPEARE'S ???
Just watched this after Tiana pov. The 'dead space' works in the original because it's building up tension, and the story, music and characters slowly unfold. Plus it gets slightly creepy with the music getting faster and more chaotic to the buildup of the big drop. Whoever designed Tiana just missed all that. They didn't even include the villain which would have added so much tension before the drop. It looks so disappointing.
Maybe because the villain died in the original movie
@@jonathanmarkowski5081They still have plenty of Star Wars stuff with characters who have died so that doesn’t make any sense
@@jonathanmarkowski5081that’s not an excuse for making a terrible, bland ride.
Modern left-wing disney is creatively bankrupt. No soul or heart, all the foundations pulled out and just plummeting into the earth.
That’s the point though
WHY set the ride’s narrative after the events of the film?
Why not follow the plot of the film?
Rest in Peace, Splash Mountain. We’ll miss this attraction so much. 😢
Always loved how after the drop, there was still “more ride”. It didn’t just loop around to the exit. ❤
Thanks for taking US on this last journey as Splash Mountain. Not a lot of parks can boast attractions of 30, 40, or even 50 yrs! Lets hope Tiana's will be a worthy successor. I personally had a different dark ride treatment for the movie as an attraction ONLY @ Disneyland. Even had the place for it. We don't have "clone" every ride.
I’m so happy I got to ride it one last time 2 years ago. I would’ve gone again last year but the prices have been so crazy my family and I opted for Universal instead. Thank you for posting this.
Maybe we didn’t always agree with Michael Eisner’s decisions, but more often than not, he believed in Disney and delivered greatness.
I bet he’s shuddering at what they did to this classic.
Really gonna miss this ride, I’ve gone on it every time I’ve to Disney and it is just heart breaking
I first went to Splash Mountain when I was 4 years old, absolutely loved it. When I went back home to Scotland, I always begged my parents to take me back to Florida next holiday. My wish was granted 4 years later, and it was the first ride we visited when we went to the Magic Kingdom. I always vowed when I was old enough to travel independently that I'd go to Splash Mountain on my own, now I'm close to 27, life and circumstances got in the way, and now I am full of sadness and regret for not going sooner. It's true, nothing ever lasts forever, but I'll never forget how it made me feel till the day I die.
This is my favourite ride in WDW. It is just a classic masterpiece of a ride. I love the animatronics, the music and the feel of it all. It was wonderfully designed. The best kind of theme park ride. Has adorable theme and a little trill too. Perfect for everyone. Is there maybe another Splash Mountain on one of Disney other theme parks maybe?
Well good news! Aside from the American parks, Splash Mountain is located in Tokyo Disneyland! And the best part? The Oriental Land Company, which owns TDL, has gone on the record saying that their version of Splash will remain for a long time.
In Tokyo, yes! Wish I could actually go there.
8:22 I didnt know cleveland was on the ride
😂
8:40 That music will be forever missed. Best feeling in the world.
You can still hear it at Tokyo Disneyland
When I found out splash mountain was closing for re-branding on the 22nd I booked a quick 3-day trip to Disney for the 18th through the 21st. I am so excited to go back to Disney after almost 9 years, so I can ride this one last time.
Glad most the animatronics were working on this run through. Great to see it recorded in such good quality for others to enjoy long after it's gone. Not a substitute for the real thing sadly, but fond memories.
you'll be forever missed. i may not had gotten the chance to ride Splash Mountain for the last time but ill still have the memories. No matter how i feel about the retheme for this, nothing can replace this classic log ride experience. This will always be one of my favorites and may you rest in peace Splash Mountain/Brier Patch
