Even when it went into disrepair it was still one of the top tide in all of DisneyWorld. It truly is sad they last it go. The nostalgia it had will never be replaced.
I still genuinely think this was one of the best, if not the best, ride they ever made. They just don’t make them like this anymore. If they did, I’d still be excited for the future of WDW.
The best ride Disney ever made is the Indiana Jones Adventure, followed closely by the Matterhorn Bobsleds, but you'll have to go to Disneyland for those.
@@superlolbrothers6559This version of Splash Mountain is the most complex and detailed attraction they ever had. Even as a huge Haunted Mansion fan I can admit this ride is better in 1992.
Nice to see the “Million Dollar Rabbit” working at his full potential back in the day. Even got the FSU shout out in the vid. I have some home videos from this year as well, but not nearly as good quality as this. This is how Splash Mountain should be remembered, with everything functioning properly. Thanks for sharing.
@@KiwiEvilFruit- it’s the hopping Brer Rabbit figure. They dubbed it “million dollar rabbit” because of the constant repairs until it was finally turned off for good. Last time I saw it working was around 2013…but his head was lowered. And Tokyo doesn’t have this problem, for what it’s worth.
All of the animatronic movements are insanely fluid and are so much more visually pleasing to watch than in later years. They move so smoothly that you almost forget they are animatronics!
@@randomhuman_05I trust the technology they’ll be implementing and the fact that the ride will be popular regardless due to it being the main water ride of the park. I don’t for one minute trust their storytelling abilities
I agree. I don’t think I’ve ever experienced a ride with nearly the same degree of detail in its storytelling. What set splash apart from every other flume ride was the fact that it had a beginning, middle, and end, a story that flowed with the ride itself. I fear that any replacement will not utilize the ride’s structure to its fullest capacity, and won’t be able to convey the storytelling in the same way.
@@Joopitor The theme, music, and unforgettable characters was the ride. No one cared about the log flume, that’s why Bayou Adventure is a complete flop.
@@Equilibrium-pt7xj Ima be completely honest, your average parkgoer didn’t care about that. Most people cared about the giant 50 foot drop on the outside. Not saying Splash was bad (far from it), it’s just that your average Joe only got on it because it would get you wet.
@@Joopitor Not true at all. People would just go to their local Six Flags for 1/10th the cost if theme wasn’t their main motivation for being ripped off at a theme park. People don’t go for ride systems. Attractions like Haunted Mansion, Small World, Jungle Cruise, Splash Mountain, and Pirates of the Caribbean have proven this millions of times over. Get rid of these themes and Disney parks will go bankrupt.
In my opinion, Disney have never and will never be able to top this. What a shame that small people with big voices and brainless cowardly Disney management had to ruin this absolute jewel of a ride
I put this 100% on Disney's management and no one else. There will always be people trying to get wonderful things canceled, but instead of Disney letting the Floyd event cool down, they aided in the lunacy and slandering of the attraction. I will never visit a US Disney Park again.
At least Disneyland and Disney World in America will have a working blueprint when they eventually need to go back after the disaster that is Tiana's Salt Mine Slavery ride.
Thanks so much for sharing this! Was this a cast member preview? I’d assume so if this is from June 1992 as Splash Mountain didn’t officially open until months later in October.
Iger and D’Amaro both need to be fired for both killing the best ride TWDC ever created and for being so grudging with expansion; with the exception of Tron, every new attraction has been at the expense of something else.
@@JG-ds6qs - it was Iger. 1. They didn’t announce it until 2020, but the initial idea was initially floated around 2017 when Latondra Newton was brought in as Chief DEI Officer. 2. Bob Chapek was CEO in name only. Iger was still in charge. And when Chapek finally decided to grow a backbone and stood up to Iger and his goons, he was unceremoniously ousted.
@@edwardleemiller-eo8jpThey are both bad eggs! Chapek was going to make the Country Bear Jamboree in WDW Walt’s Last Laugh a Woody’s Roundup Toy Story Marionette Show! Thank God Tom Corless of WDWNT stepped in! Better what we got then no Country Bears at all!
Wow, I didn't know br'er frog used to be on the bottom of the first lift hill. I can't even believe how fluid the movements of the animatronics used to be back then! I still very much miss both our East and West coast Splash Mountains. It had great pacing, great storytelling, Memorable catchy songs, tension. Good Lord, it had everything!
Splash was never my favorite attraction, but I have no problem saying that it was the TOTAL PACKAGE. The whimsical nature and storytelling of a classic Disney dark ride and the excitement of an amusement thrill ride.
I never knew that they changed the location of Brer Frog at the beginning of the ride at some point. Here he's shown sitting on a stump. Before it closed he had this wooden box thing he was in as you go up the first lift.
We need to keep this video at all cost from Disney so we can still remember splash mountain was in magic kingdom I hated that they replaced it they never should’ve done that it literally looks like something you would see in the dollar store now.
The realistic rock formations juxtaposed with animatronics, story, and music felt like you were going on an actual adventure. The new ride vomits pink and purple all over everything and feels like you're going to all-girls preschool.
An effect that I noticed here, and in early footage of Disneyland’s, is a layer of mist covering the tunnel under the briar patch, effectively blocking it from view during the descent. When was this removed? I’m assuming it was pre-August 2011 because that was when I first rode and I don’t remember if the effect was in use.
I love how we still have a recording of the old splash mountain, I could see how much better the animatronics looked compared to before it was torn down, splash mountain was really showing its age especially compared to this version
Tokyo's has been kept up in fantastic condition and is still operating well, so while some elements were clearly aging, some of it was compounded by the fact it was getting actively thrown under the bus in its final years.
@@robloxplayer2876Incorrect, Tokyo’s opened a day earlier than the one in Florida in 1992. Their attraction is flawless and just like the one you see in this video. Anyone can search on UA-cam for a ride through video of it recently and see the identical thing.
Apparently there has been a dialogue back and forth with Disney pressuring OLC to retheme the ride, and that they've agreed to look into options. However, Tokyo has consistently rejected offers for TBA because they didn't think it was a good fit (smart move), and their counteroffer is that they'll do it if Disney can actually deliver a suitable replacement that would resonate with Japanese audiences. Ball is now in Disney's court to either deliver a true successor that lives up to OLC's (much higher) standards, or back off.
Although Tiana’s Bayou Adventure is pretty fun, THIS is better than Tiana’s! If we had a New Orleans zone behind Big Thunder, I’d put Tiana there and spare this ride.
I just hope people refuse to ride it. It was disgraceful to remove a beautiful and popular ride with this monstrosity they created now and no story to it. I just watch the POV of the entire ride and it had much fewer animatronics and it's dark inside and loud. Disney better get it's sh*t together and start listening to what the people want. We are the ones spending money on tickets and souvenirs, and if you keep taking away and changing what we love.....Universal is going to take over and Disney will end up an abandoned amusement park.
Yeah, it's almost disturbing to see the ride functioning so perfectly in this video and then in later povs its clearly being neglected. Now it's completely destroyed with the Tiana's Bayou Abomination dumpster fire retheme. The wildest thing is Tokyo Disneyland's Splash Mountain still exists, and it looks BRAND NEW like in this video from 1992! It's no coincidence that the Tokyo park is run and maintained by the OLC and not Disney.
For the Disney World version, because the ride is located in Frontierland, maybe better the ride should be re-themed to something else rather than Tiana/Princess and the Frog but retaining Song of the South OSTs in homage to the former theme where the theming is imagined by my head which is a brand new story where the main protagonist is a girl named Aryati who likes cooking like Tiana does and is a big fan of Splash Mountain in Tokyo Disneyland and a cowboy dressed man named Mr. Daus whose hobby is singing and playing his banjo and making country music festivals throughout Arizona and would hike on Phoenix's Piestewa Peak until the top with his friend, the guitar playing gaucho named Mazukri. Then the sceneries inside the mountain cave are replaced by Piestewa Peak's trails. Before the How Do You Do scene, the first lift which is a western style house, has interior containing food ingredients for cooking and the sign reads "Aryati's Foods" replacing "Tiana's Foods". Then the How Do You Do scene after the first drop inside the burrow shows Aryati's trails through the swamps to her laughing yoga class occupied by critters where "Evreybody Has a Laughing Place" plays to fit the laughing yoga scene. Then after the ride's second drop which is the beehives scene, here Aryati smells her uncle collecting honey from the beehives to be distributed to Arizona and the New Mexico, then the third short drop leads guests to the laughing yoga class full of critters where Aryati and the banjo man Mr. Daus join the yoga class then the ominous scene where "Burrow's Lament" plays before the final drop is replaced by Aryati and that banjo man Mr. Daus is informed by a band of crows that that the mountain is going to explode as a super volcano which would destroy the whole location and a mega tsunami occurs outside, frightening Aryati and the banjo man Daus and then Aryati who fidgeting in fear together with the banjo man Daus and the guitar gaucho Mazukri see a UFO flying then finally they that UFO (represented by the area where the ride's final drop take place) before the peak is demolished into pieces due to Piestewa Peak being a supervolcano, then escaping with that UFO, the UFO lands at the Grand Canyon as Aryati, the banjo man, and the gaucho guitar man escape from the Piestewa Peak summit safely leaving the supervolcano and terrible mega tsunami (represented at the ex-Briar Patch part), and then going to the Grand Canyon cave (represented by the final cave for the ride's finale to the Zip-a-Dee-Lady) and celebrated by Aryati's siblings Maryati , Karyati, Gayatri, and Nurhayati, visiting Grand Canyon cave playing instruments for the final scene singing to Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah together with the banjo man Daus and guitar gaucho Mazukri and celebrating the party happily ever after and here the Zip-a-Dee-Lady steamboat is replaced by the stage with a roasted pig party with western saloon theme. As a result the ride is musical adventure themed and also works that the Arizona themed ride is located across Big Thunder ride because Big Thunder's theming is Arizona/Utah's monument valley and the ride name is Aryati's Arizona Journey, Aryati's Rio Grande Journey, or simply Aryati the ride and the Briar Patch store is re titled into Aryati's Patch. But Tiana's Bayou Adventure retains in California Disneyland due to being fit for the theming which is next to New Orleans Square.
That's probably because Br'er Rabbit and Roger Rabbit both have the same voice actor, Jess Harnell! I guess he has a talent for voicing cartoon rabbits, lol.
@@TheFoxFromSplashMountain totally stupid fun fact but Jess has also been the announcer of one of my favorite shows America's Funniest Home Videos since 1999 and you can definitely hear his brer rabbit voice in the show although he doesnt actually do the voice
Them closing this down for no reason other than sticking to an agenda was my last straw. To hell with Disney, I'll stick to Tokyo from now on. I'm just glad I rode both Splashes in the US.
If you were to compare this video to another taken from recent years you can see how much the animatronics had degraded over the years These animatronics were getting harder and harder to maintain as they kept breaking down due to age and being less advanced And while I will miss this ride it’s probably for the best and it’s not uncommon for Disney to replace attentions with new ones Although it would have been cool to see splash mountain with updated animatronics and what not
No, what was occurring behind the scenes was Disney fired all their talent that knew how to take care of the ride. Just one example, there was a dedicated trailer backstage specifically for this attraction where specialists and artists worked on it full time, then they cut it and removed the trailer. Slowly the knowledge behind Splash was lost, especially the fit and finish.

I miss it so much!
Riding Splash Mountain was the happiest place on earth
I still wish I was at WDW in 1992 and riding Splash Mountain.
Rest In Peace Splash Mountain 😑😭🌊⛰🏞🐻🦊🐰🪵
first rode this one year later in July 1993 and it's been a family favorite ever since. will miss it
thankfully the one in Tokyo still operates just as well as this one did in 1992

Im really sad that this is the only way my kids can experience this ride from my childhood. Thanks Disney, thanks Cancel Culture. You guys suck.
No dude..... Take your kids to Toyko! It's the longest and most complete version of the ride anyway.
Splash Mountain wasn’t open in June 1992

How could it be june 92 when it opened in October 2nd
The ride had its soft opening months before it’s official opening
If you were to compare this video to another taken from recent years you can see how much the animatronics had degraded over the years

And while I will miss this ride it’s probably for the best and it’s not uncommon for Disney to replace attentions with new ones
