Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 бер 2019
- Splash Mountain is a log flume dark ride that opened at Disneyland on July 17th, 1989, Tokyo Disneyland on October 2nd, 1992, and October 3rd, 1993. Based on the characters, stories and songs from the 1946 Disney film Song of the South, the attraction costed 75 million dollars, making it one of the most expensive attraction ever built by Disney at the time. In this episode we take a look at how Tony Baxter came up with the for the attraction and its construction, the ride itself, and the differences between all three attractions.

Another excellent video! Great work! Stoked for Space Mountain!
Thank you so much! Once again, thank you for having me on the Critical Podcast, I had a great time!
How's about one of your awesomely produced videos for Big Thunder?... 😉👍 WOULD LOVE THAT! 👌 O.O.K 💙
Great I was always bemused by the animatronics..I was like yeah it's nice but why so much elaboration? Ok I get it now thanks!
Do Space Mountain next!
Put jackie in ride
Breaks my heart watching this video now 💔I will miss it sooo much
Just go to Tokyo!
We’ll miss you my dear splash mountain
Just go to Tokyo!
Who’s here just to cry and miss the greatest ride at magic kingdom? 😭😢
I am a day after it shut down. Very sad, one of my favorite rides at Disney. Tbh it's one of the rides you instantly associate with Magic Kingdom. Hopefully the retheme is good, unfortunately Disney hasn't had the best track record for new stuff recently. They better have Beignets at magic kingdom now to make it a zip-a-dee do da day.
Next year which is 2024, Splash Mountain will be renamed as Tiana's Bayou Adventure which has a Princess and the Frog themed style to it. 😭We're going to miss it forever.
It's looks good now because new why close up
bye bye splash mountain you will be forever remembered in the memories of disney fanatics.RIP
If you made a Theme Park History on Space Mountain and all of its versions that would be pretty dope.
Space Mountain has been added to the list, thank you for the suggestion MooMooMilk.
The minute I saw this I almost got a heart attack
Please don't! We want you to be around when we cover it!
@@ThemeParkHistory Ha ha.
EXCEPTIONALLY dope, indeed. "Space Mountain, this is flight safety.."
Please make The History of The Haunted Mansion ride in Disney Parks
The Haunted Mansion has been added to the list, thank you for the suggestion Eden.
I kinda suggested that, a long while ago.
BigThunder Mario yes. Like it and remove it
In one of Jim Gaffigan’s Disney jokes: “Why don’t we hollow out a log, & throw them off a waterfall. They’ll to ride that.”
R.I.P. Splash Mountain.
R.I.P Splash Mountain, You will be missed
Well you can add this ride to the defunct list
michael eisner's marketing sure was...... something
Really showed how hip and cool he was with the kids back in the day.
@@ThemeParkHistory nothing says "with it" like a 60-year-old CEO trying desperately to impress his teenage son!
He almost did with Alien Encounter, such a shame they never tried to make an attraction like that again.
@@ThemeParkHistory ....... i liked stitch's great escape...................
Eisner was truly Walt's Successor, he was still business, but he had that same childlike charm that Walt had and he gave us some of the great Disney classics...I can't say the same for Iger.
Ha ha! I liked how they portrayed “Splash Mountain” as a Wet & Wild Roller Coaster.
This opened on the day I was born October 2nd 1992! Love this ride
Two Corrections:
14:01 - The castle on the right is not Tokyo Disneyland, it is Disneyland Paris. We mixed up our castles.
16:34 - The soundtrack for Magic Kingdom and Tokyo Disneyland are the same, not Disneyland and Tokyo Disneyland.
It's such a zip-a-dee-doo-dah coincidence that this just came out! I just rode this in Florida yesterday and verbally told one of my friends that I didn't know much about Splash's history besides the re-purposing of the animatronics from America Sings! And now I know a whole lot more! Thank you so much for this history video!
PLEASE DO DUDLEY DORIGHTS RIPSAW FALLS AT UNIVERSAL ISLANDS OF ADVENTURE!!!
And we will sometime this year! Thank you for the suggestion Benjamin!
Theme Park History Looking forward to it
It would be good timing since its undergoing refurbishment
The ride is re opened just so you know
Man, I will never not enjoy how they tried to sell Splash Mountain as a badass thrill ride.
I thought the same thing! I know the ending is pretty thrilling but everything else about the ride says otherwise.
@@ThemeParkHistory Not gonna lie, before I went on it, I was convinced that it was entirely a lift hill and then the big drop because that was the only thing ever shown. I wasn't expecting the storytelling and music.
Really scary ride hahaha.
That shits terrifying dude, but then again rides give me bad almost panic attack like experiences so literally everything scares me.
Tbf, at the time this was the tallest and fastest drop for a water ride ever built.
That promotional dance number at the end literally made my day.
R.I.P. Splash Mountain
1989-2020
"Zip-A-Dee Doo-Da, Zip-A-Dee Yay! My oh my what a wonderful day!"
Why did Disney have to make this into a Princess and the Frog ride instead of building one from scratch?
Because the world has gone mad!
They’re still in the planning and designing stages of the new ride. It’s not going to close this year.
There’s not as much room as you think in Disneyland, especially after Galaxy’s Edge..
@@catdisc2827 I know but it's still sad to see the ride go...
Because racial milkers like to ruin everyone’s laughing place.
I could smell the ride at the first clip. The smell is so memorable
Shame they actually don't sell the smell, I would buy it in a heartbeat.
It's the mold from the water. It has a certain stink
This video just got a whole lot sadder today
press f to pay respects

Another great video! The Disneyland Splash Mountain is so brilliantly designed as it so perfectly told in a 3-act structure using the drops as a means to get into the next part of the story...but ALSO that every time you float outside by the big, finale, drop...you see a log plummet down...perfectly building anticipation to the climax! It's sooo good!!
Favorite ride at Disneyland! 🦊🐻🐰
Why
Welp
I think we all know why we're here now
f
I'm so excited!
F
Hahaha
F in chat for the ride that taught me to face my fears
I would love to see a episode of all Big Thunder Mountain Railroads in the Disney Parks. They have a very long history.
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad has been added to the list, thank you for the suggestion Waarom?
Can you cover the History of “Dudley-Do-Rights Rip Saw Falls” and “Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey”?!
Both will covered sometime this year, thank you for the suggestions Jonathan!
THAT ENDING IS EVERYTHING!
ayyy, so stoked to see me on the list of people who suggested this! thanks for taking the time! excited to see what you choose next :)
Thank you C. Babs for making the suggestion, we wouldn't be making these videos if it wasn't for the support of viewers like you! Come back on the 29th for our next video!
Rest In Peace Splash Mountain 😑😭🌊⛰🏞🐻🦊🐰🪵
History of the mall of America theme park would be interesting!
Klafka yess!!!
I love these videos. Thank you for making them!
My favorite ride from both Magic Kingdom and Disneyland. Many fond memories. Thanks for putting up the Ernest special about the ride. I forgotten all about that one. I also have another ride you could do. Darkcasltle of Busch Gardens. Keep up the good work.
Thank you JohnStripedFur! It's a classic attraction that will stand the test of time for Disney. I thought the Ernest special was weird but when you compare it to the rest of the Disney specials done over the years its not that bad. Curse of Darkastle has been added to the list, thank you for the suggestion! I know you also suggestion Backdraft last year and don't worry, we are still going to cover it sometime this year!
No worries. Take your time.I remembered the Tony Danza one when he rode Jungle Cruise. Over the top once you look back.
Another great ride had its history told. :) looking forward to more
Thank you maxd327!
Amazing video as always! Looking forward to the next one already!
NICE I love the videos from this channel so excited you uploaded !
Keep em coming !
More people need to see these videos! I love how much information is in them. Big thunder is one of my favorites!
Thanks for the kind words Slurp and Durp!
Who’s here after seeing that princess and the frog is replacing splash mountain? I’m really going to miss this ride but I love princess and the frog. I cannot wait to see what Disney has in store!
F
we need to fight this rethemeing this is a classic ride that shouldnt be done away with
Disney is probably pushing an agenda here, something is fishy about it
@@willguthrie6050 I mean it's bound to happen sooner or later. The attractions will changed for the younger audiences. I'd would have loved to see Star Tours or Tomorrow land when I used to live in Asia, but sadly, by the time I moved to the U.S., it's already been changed to more newer and exciting rides
@@keichishoshuko I mean, the story of Splash Mountain and theming is great for younger audiences, hence why it's so popular (alongside being a classic). Besides, Disney usually cherishes these kinds of classic attractions and wants them to stick around as they are; they wouldn't think of retheming Haunted Mansion, Big Thunder Mountain, Peter Pan, or Small World, but Splash Mountain is the one to get the boot. The controversial song could have been changed while keeping the ride intact, but instead it's being rethemed to one of the least popular animated films in the grand scheme of things.
Ngl, this is one of THE best Theme Park channels out there.
These videos are really excellent and informative. Amazing Job.
It’s like Defunctland does one side of the story and you do the 2nd half. Loved it!!!
I know, it's unfortunate timing to be honest. I've already had to postpone three videos on attractions we were working on earlier this year (Backdraft, Star Tours & Rock N Roller Coaster) because other channels recently released videos on them. We were way too far into production of this video to cancel or postpone it, as if we did we wouldn't have another video out until the end of the month. I don't think it will be that big of a deal, as Defunctland's video focuses more on Tales of the Okefenokee.
I also announced that we were going to cover Splash Mountain on the Critical Podcast last Saturday, so it isn't like there was any malicious intent in releasing this video a few days after. ua-cam.com/video/s6lrFkjhtT4/v-deo.htmlh56m6s
Can you do the theme park history of extraTERRORestrial alien encounter
I think he already did.
ExtraTERRORestrial Alien Encounter has been added to the list, thank you for the suggestion Sebastian.
Justin Blystone What?
@@carminecdinoproductions I stand corrected.
Every time I see that you upload a new video, I get so excited. Your channel is one of the best on UA-cam
i always get emotional listening to the music from this. it’s always been one of my favourite rides ever ):
As always Great Job cant wait for the next video!
Thank you Stitch! Appreciate the support!
@@ThemeParkHistory Your very Welcome:)
Who came here after Disney announced this getting replaced by Princess and the Frog?

Keep up the great work man. You've become my favorite Theme park channel.
thank you for not postponing this video because of Defunctland’s! i enjoyed both of them so much and found it funny how they synced up
Always awesome content. Great video. 👍🏻
Thank you Michael!
Theme Park History You’re welcome!
Thanks for making a Splash Mountain history video that isn't just 'duh dis wide is based on a wacist moviiie'.
Now this was interesting to me cause I do love water rides myself. Thanks for doing the history of splash mountain. Also, loved the opening cause I was like "Whaaaa?"
Awesome video! Keep up the great work.
So glad you included that part at the end. Zi-zi-zi-zi-zi-zip-a-dee-do-da!
Thank you BrewCityGillz! We had to include the rap, its one of Disney's most iconic musical numbers! (Just kidding, it really awkward lol)
Yes! This UA-cam channel is really a GEM 💎
DAMMIT D'LO! YOU ARE A GEM, THANK YOU SO MUCH 💎
R.I.P. Splash
Just go to Tokyo!
This is my favorite ride at Disney World. Is a great combination or classic dark ride, water ride, some thrills, and a good ride length.
Another well made video. Great job.
Thank you for the kind words ricky99la!
Dude, I drop everything when I'm notified you uplaoded. Love you man! Also I have an Xtreme suggestion for you. X2 at Six Flags Magic Mountain.
Thank you for the love Hispanic Hood! X2 has been added to the list, thank you for the suggestion!
great video btw! this brings me back to my childhood going on the florida version and being terrified at the last drop only because I was 5 years old. Now that I'm much much older I can handle this one no problem since I've gone on way bigger log flume drops like Jurassic Park.
Wonderful video, keep doing them ❤️❤️❤️. Love this ride since I was a Kid.
PS: Just watching the video now because UA-cam didn’t notified me
That little dance at the end was added right in the Disney Sing-Along-Song version of Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Da in Disneyland Fun.
Look like you be doing a ride update.
Awsome video! Hopefully you can do big thunder mountain soon!!
Thank you The Hatbox Ghost! Big Thunder Mountain Railroad has been added to the list, thank you for the suggestion!
Awesome video once again. Keep it up bro!
Thank you MutationsOccur5!
Loved this video!
Thank you so much Emily!
One of my favourite rides at disney 🔥
Drinking game: a shot for every time “Brer” is said in the video

Edit: just did the drinking game, this is the result lol
Omg how interesting that is one of my favourite rides ever
The king does it again 🙌🏽
Nothing will replace this ride...NOTHING!!!
*NOTHING*
@@ThemeParkHistory NOTHING
😅 I’m from the future and I’ve got news for you. It’s getting replaced.
I would love it if you made some videos on Hershey Park attractions! Great video man!
We are going to eventually get to Hershey Park and its attractions, thank you for the kind words and the suggestion FinKaiser!
Awesome video!
Great video as usual. Loved watching all these so far.... Went on this at night just before we saw the fireworks at Magic Kingdom, love water rides and this one's fantastic. Wonder what it will be like after Disney retheme it to the Princess and the frog 🐸
That was amazing can you do haunted Mansion, and the rock n rollercoaster
Both have been added to the list, thank you for the suggestions Jennifer!
really great video, do Big Thunder Mountain railroad that one's fantastic
Really fantastic video
You forgot to mention the all time favorite boobalicious "Flash Mountain"!!
Trust me, I wanted to include it but I'm sure if I was to include any "historical footage" the video would be 18+ 😂
Thank you for bringing back the Splash Rap. lol
Had to include it, it's one of the most iconic and awkward moments I've ever seen from Disney.
Awesome video! Definitely a favorite. You should do a vid on the People Mover! Keep it up!
New to the channel. I love your content and video flow. Great work!
Such an insanely charming/creepy ride 😄🙌
Its pretty weird that animatronic animals were so charming 20 to 30 years ago and now they are seen as creepy and horrifying. I blame Five Nights at Freddy's for that.
@ThemeParkHistory lmao exactly 😂
Ernest goes to Disney World.
Some say he still hasn't left.
@@ThemeParkHistory all thanks to Vernon Savings and Loan. And he's still drinking Mello Yellow and Sprite.
Oh splash mountain. The biggest "Thrill ride" my ma prides herself on willing riding. I'm loving watching your vids man.
Random but, I love your channel so much ❤️❤️
Do all the Theme Park history UA-camrs collaborate, because there's a lot of Splash Mountain
They're riding off of each other imo. Defunctland has the biggest sub base I think.

I’ve been waiting for this :D
Hope it was worth the wait yang wu!
It sure was!
Grawesome video!
Who’s here after hearing about the rebranding of the ride?
Darth Syphilis i completely agree that pocahontas is due for a ride and actually fits in critter country better than what would seem like an awkward extension to new orleans square. Plus, if they did do a ride they couldve gave pocahontas story some other form of justice and counter the dated depictions of native americans in the jungle cruise/railroad and tiger lily in peter pan. Come on. Lets get that done right first before doing any other cultures.
Darth Syphilis Exactly. I think that Disney finds it good to close splash mountain because of the BLM movement, which I wish didn’t have to exist. The ride doesn’t talk about any part of the controversial sections of song of the south, plus, now they either have to pull ANOTHER mission breakout and throw a ride in a random section (for now), or make New Orleans square a mega land.
Darth Syphilis agreed. But also, fun to see john smith fail the rope swing half the time 😂
Darth Syphilis again, i completely agree with you!
Aiden Bennett i wish the trolley tracj went left into hollywood land which makes a way better transition now that ToT is gone
Rest in peace, Jim Varney you wonderfully hilarious man.
THank you for this
Brilliant once again ☺
Thank you so much Trevor!
I’d like to see a history of the Three Caballeros Gran Fiesta Tour/ El Rio De Tiempo in Epcot.
Yay!! Thank you for covering Splash Mountain! Can you do the History of Haunted Mansion?
The Haunted Mansion has been added to the list, thank you for the suggestion Nerd Angel.
@@ThemeParkHistory Awesome!! Thank you!💖
I’m so glad you included that last commercial
Had to include it, its one of the greatest Disney promos of all time.
Dang I should have watched this before I went to Tokyo Disneyland on Monday!!! I chose not to ride it because I thought it was the same as back home in California haha.
Great video! Well put together and enjoyable.
I fucking love Splash Mountain
Please do videos on Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey and The Simpsons ride at Universal Studios!
