Splash Mountain's Final Day at Disneyland: The Complete Experience
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 жов 2024
- 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!

Seeing Tony Baxter must have been the best part. What a great experience.
Thank you Mr. Tony Baxter for the memories and thank you Justin for this amazing video! I seriously cried when the doors closed. What's wrong with me??? HA HA!
Goodbye splash mountain 1989-2023
This is definitely the best coverage of the day's events. Thank you for showing from rope drop to close.
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.
I’m so glad I was able to ride Splash one last time last year. I’m also super excited for the re-theme it’ll be a fun change!😊
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.
Don’t have a good day
Have a Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah Day
justin slowly slipping into hysteria and delirium the longer he stands in line is killing me 😂
It's really hilarious!!!!! He seems like so much fun!!! 😂😂😂❤
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!
Not gonna lie I will miss the charm of this ride cuz it became a core memory in my childhood and seeing it go makes me sad but it has served it’s purpose
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 😍
Great vlog Justin! I hope Tokyo Disneyland never changes their splash mountain so we can always go back and revisit our laughin place.
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.
Really going to miss Splash Mountain…….appreciate the work that went into this episode….thanks Justin and Ally!
We will have Tokyo Disney Splash forever and it's amazing.
What a unique perspective. Thank you, Justin, for being such a proud and vested curator of our memories. Your enthusiasm and genuine love for these parks and the history and our memories is appreciated more than you know. Take care, buddy.
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 😢😭.
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 😂
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.
1 hour long?! Wow you've outdone yourself justin with this tribute video 👏 Hope you have a great day!
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!
Thanks!
Thanks Justin for allowing us to be there in spirit for those of us who couldn't. Luv ya man!
The “it’s broken” lights are on. Hahaha!!
Thanks for documenting this in the awesome way that you always do!
A beautiful tribute to this beautiful attraction
Well done Justin, sad I wasn’t able to ever ride this version, but I am beyond grateful I was lucky enough to ride the WDW one many times throughout my life
I should not be watching this after I've done my makeup 😭 I made it to Disneyland for the first time in March with the main goal of riding Splash Mountain and though it was cold, I did succeed! 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 🥲
Good video, Justin!!! Love it all!
I’m totally ok with it evolving into something more current & beautiful. I absolutely love Princess & the Frog. The music alone is going to make this an EPIC ride!❤
Well done Justin.
We appreciate how much work went into this one!! Excellent show, as always. ❤
Awesome visit!
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.
I got in line just before 10pm, we were asked if we wanted to be the last log!! We said yes
Your commentary was AWESOME and HILARIOUS!!! 🤪 So amazing that you saw Tony Baxter!!! 😱
I left Disneyland on the 24th so I just barely missed all the crowds for splash mountain! The line was consistently really long but not too bad. So sad to see it go
Tokyo Disney land still has there splash mountain
Sooo Looong Old Friend! Thanks for this video Justin, it was like I was there too!! 🥹💦🐰🦊🐻
THE GUY WITH THE SPLASH MOUNTAIN WATER IS A LEGEND!
For the record I don’t drink splash mountain water. Great video, sad to see the ride go buy I’m hopeful for Tianas Bayou adventure.
Awesome job Justin! Your hard work paid off with this one!!
Hit that 👍 if you loved Splash Mountain
So wish that I would have been able to see splash mountain one more time. I haven’t been in a long time, but I am going to Disney next week so just missing it. Thank you Justin for covering it, and for also bringing me my dose of Disney land over the years!!
47:32 was emotional as I was there in front filming. 51:10 you can see me in the middle in my black beanie. ;) I could not hear what the girl was saying on the intercom before the work lights came on. What was she saying? 56:56 There is my ooogly mug.
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.
How awesome that you were able to see Tony Baxter and catch that special moment of his at the end. I never had an emotional attachment to this ride (I always got drenched if I rode it! 😅), but this video made me emotional and wished I was there for it. Thanks for sharing!
THANKYOU SO MUCH JUSTIN!!!! for the great video I have only been on Splash mountain 4or5 times but a GREAT !!!! THANKYOU FOR THE GREAT VIDEOS
Justin, Allie, the comedy! 😅😅😅 you both are making my day....! Hats off to you both!
Great Show. Such a travesty that the current occupants of Disney's C-Suite have no respect or reverence for what came before.
I got you beat... I've ridden Splash Mountain eight billion and one times. 🙂🙂🙂 Great video, thanks.
That better be the Last Ride that closes at The park!!! I couldn't handle any of the older rides closing. They are what make Disneyland! And my childhood.
Your lyrics are the same as ours. However, the real lyrics are "Pretty good sure as you're born."😂
I hope they reuse some of these animatronics for the new Tiana ride.
Ahhh! I can just smell the ride looking at this! Something I can never smell again 😢 unless it remains in Tiana
I remember it was closing time and the cast member let us stay on splash mountain and my sister got to ride it again
Oh yes the Briar Pat h is definitely going to be some kind of Mama Odi’s shop
Yoooi!
I was there too! Sad for what’s leaving but kinda happy for what’s coming.
THE OLD WEST
I hope they will do splash mountain a gain in the future 🙏
Weird.. but I do love princess and the frog…
I am going to miss Splash Mountain but excited for the next adventure!!!!
It was MY laughing place... and now it's gone 😭
Now we just need to see you visit Splash in Toyko!!! How do we make that happen?!?!?!?!
I’m going to miss watching Disneyland Splash mountain.
GOODBYE SPLASH MOUNTAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Splash mountain is zip a dee do done
Your posts always make my day! thx!
Getting soggy on a loggy 🤣
GONNA MISS SPLASH MOUNTAIN!
As much as I love splash I can’t wait for Tiana! But splash will have a special place in my heart I rode splash at Disney World on my bday with my step dad unfortunately he passed in 2020 and so splash has a special memory of me riding it with him.
41:38 show us your WHAT
I live in CA and have visited Disneyland way more times but for some reason the closing at MK hit me way harder than the closing at DL did. I had way more fomo knowing I will never be able to ride it again. This is one ofnthose rides that made Disneyland what it is so sad tonsee it go but I'm also always looking forward to new things.
THE LAST SPLASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i think the lyrics are- pretty good sure as your born.... could be wrong though. thank you for capturing this magical and busy day!
Eyes are sweaty with respect
Such a sad moment for a fantastic ride. Hmm. Shleep well Splash Mountain.
Thank you so much for this video!!!
I'm gonna miss Splash Mountain so much... I wish I could've been there to experience the ride's last moments...
Thanks for all the Zip a Dee Doo Dah days Splash Mountain.
Everybody has been saying goodbye to Splash Mountain for a year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Yes I wear my Dollar tree poncho on all water rides.
Everyone crowding around signing ZippeDeDooDah and giving Splash Mountain a proper send off is incredible it’s sad it’s going away it’s sad they couldn’t just up what wasn’t “ok” with people 😢
Did you ask any of the cast members what they get to work on next?
It will forever be in our hearts. Also, i don’t think you noticed, but you were singing How do you do wrong. It goes, pretty good, sure as you’re born.
I noticed they weren't loading the back-row all day on Tuesday
Justin please pin this comment because I was first anyway I am honestly really sad i never got to ride the Disneyland one😢 but I got my last ride on Florida’s in April last year anyway thanks for letting me experience this vicariously through all of your videos thank you Justin
"Oh, I just poured more down!" I actually cackled at that, because who hasn't done that by mistake?
I dont think taking the dead tree off the top was the best idea-it kinda made the mountain distinguishable, not some Rainforest Cafe.
And I do understand that the dead tree is from Song of the South, but they could have left it, just cover it in a little bit of foliage.
Auction off your splash mountain signs! Highest bidder
Unfortunately, I'm sure that Tianna's will be all projections. Good show thanks to millions of memories for me.
Well done, Justin! 👏👏👏👏👏
Tony Baxter...THANK YOU!!!
😭
I have such fond memories of this ride, and yes, it it sad that it has to go...but it is exciting to see what the future holds for this ride, and It will always live on in our hearts. Farewell, old friend. And hello updated magic and some much needed tlc from imagineers.
Did you collect any Splash Mountain water? I would have brought a little vial and collected some of that water inside the logs.
I didn’t have splash mountain merch so I wore randomland merch 😂❤
That strange voice you do does scare me... but anyways, thanks fir the report
Do you remember when they called it 'Flash Mountain" ?
Thank you Justin ! Always enjoy your videos.
Deprimente las razones por las que cerraron la atracción. Ojala existieran acciones importantes para las cosas que lo merecen. En fin, mas progre
