Splash Mountain forever. An entire part childhood centered around this whimsical, toony ride and I'm proud of it. I'm past tired of people saying that it's "problematic" without being able to explain why. The Laughing Place, the Br'ers, all of it comes from West African trickster myth. I don't see how Princess and the Frog, based on European myth, is any more representational or respectful of African culture.
@@letrahisondesimages get out of here! The film may be racist but there is no sign of racism in the ride. The Whole ride has animals in it. I agree the movie is racist but the ride isn’t!!!!
@@letrahisondesimages Oh. My. God. Nothing in this ride shows ANY racism. Yes it came from Song of the South but Disney made sure to remove the controversial parts of the film. Tar baby replaced with honey, no slaves, uncle Remus replaced with B’rer frog
So they added more and upgrades lighting in indoor sections. The second drop (down up) use to be total darkness now it’s partially lit and they added more Gems. Also they upgraded some audio. I’m sure they did some repairs and touch ups on the mechanical side.
I am so glad I got to experience this ride for myself about a month ago when I finally went to Disneyland for the first time. Even if it did lead me down a _Song of the South_ rabbit hole that did result in me being upset about the upcoming retheme. Look, the Brers are wonderful, it’s not their fault they came from a controversial movie that Disney desperately wants you to forget existed, I still think they’re an important part of Disney history (not to mention far and away the most entertaining part of their movie) and that they shouldn’t be buried and forgotten. I’m gonna miss you, Splash Mountain. It was a mighty satisfactual Zip-A-Dee-Do-Dah run, and it will always live on in our hearts ❤️
wish this was still open when I went 2 weeks ago, I really hope it stays open for a while, gonna miss this ride so much when it gets a retheme, also sucks to see some of the animatronics still not working, because what’s the point of fixing them when the ride is going to be replaced (that brer bear one in the laughing place in particular)
so mad, I visited the Disneyland Resort last week and then i saw the refurb schedule and saw this was coming back after l left. Overall, i am glad to see it is back up and going.
This attraction was based on Song of the South, is that correct? It was going to be based on The Princess and the Frog, but it failed due to some prejudge mental complaints.
For some reason people really HATE change. I guess they’d rather the ride stay the same for the next 100 years. Personally, I’d like to see some new and refreshing ideas. There’s plenty of current Disney movies that children of this generation would probably better relate to. Splash mountain is still cool as fuck, but I wouldn’t mind seeing something else equally as cool.
There’s actually a lot of things still missing/broken. The Br’er Bear animatronic in the laughing place scene, for example, hasn’t been fixed over the past 2 refurbs
1 hour early LOL. But hi!!! What rides did you go on yesterday on live since I had to leave if you went on any rides. Also love this! Got goosebumps by watching this. The line was short.
Splash Mountain is a quintessential Disney attraction, it’s a classic, and the only other rides that are in its class would be Haunted Mansion and Pirates… Disney would be fools retheming this ride !!
Yes it's still getting replaced, but it was announced when the it was in early development. Plus splash mountain gets a winter refurbishment every winter
@@ItzAdrian02 i heard its not if it was it would have to be after 2024-2025 at least until the 50th anniv is over ..... but this is the last year before the world basically ends LOL so ....
If they’re going to replace it, I hope they start fresh with new boats, new landscaping and new track/paths. Just putting Princess and the Frog characters and scenery on the existing ride is kind of weak. Just go all the way with a brand new everything and make it better using what they learned from running this for 30+ years. Or just keep it as is and build a brand new Princess and the Frog ride in New Orleans Square.
@@ryanridder4576 also the reasons are hypocritical. What about Jungle Cruise? Peter Pan? The main theme of the park is colonization, right? I really don't get the hate for SM.
We all understand the movie itself has racism, but we CLEARLY don't see any of that on Splash Mountain... But I can't believe someone had to say 'this ride is racist', when technically the movie is racist. All we see is animals on the ride, which leaves me disappointed on how people start to realize the movie's purpose. Splash Mountain will always be a good ride, but the fact it's being changed to princess and the frog is kind of a downfall. I get it, racism is bad, but getting rid of the ride with no racism taking place? I feel sorry for the fans, omg.
The state of this ride is honestly kinda sad. I know they're working on replacing it, but still, the yearly refurbishments barely fix the broken animatronics. Maybe first-time riders won't notice but it's super noticeable to me and it's a real shame to see the ride kinda slowly rot away while they drag their feet on the Princess and the Frog retheme.
You have a point. Disney neglected Splash Mountain, especially the animatronics. And it's mostly because Disney was too cheap to keep maintaining them. The animatronics were old and outdated they needed updating but it was just too expensive to do that so they cut corners. I think this is the real reason why they retheme to Tiana's Bayou Adventure was because they didn't want to deal with those old animatronics anymore. They can make new ones that are more advanced and easily to maintain.
They are, it's just still in the planning phase given they want to get the re-theme right rather than half-ass it. Probably won't be ready til like late 2023-2024.
@@ryanridder4576 me too! It's SUCH a classic cute ride why not just make the princess and the frog into a new ride instead? It will be SO SAD to have splash mountain gone! :(
@@AN-zz8ps yes, I saw that too. But I believe it said Princess and the frog is to debute in late 2024 as I believe Splash Mountain would close somepoint in 2023. Hope that would be the way it works because I’m allegedly going to Disneyland this year in September and would have one last chance to ride it before it’s gone
You need to know something, splash mountain is based off the Br’er Rabbit Stories. The uncle Remus stories, which is the same thing, we’re made in 1881 and slavery ended in 1865. Song of the south takes place during the reconstruction era. Also song of the south was released in 1946, If you haven’t seen the movie, or do not know the history of the ride, you shouldn’t say they are racist without knowing the concept.
This ride isn’t meant to be racist at all dude, it’s meant to be fun for children and plus song of the south is a classic movie. Literally anyone who goes on this ride for the first time will not find anything racist about it. Grow up
Seems to me they have improved the lighting inside Splash Mountain 🏔. Please Disney don’t retheme this ride. Just leave it the way it is. Why fix something that doesn’t need to be fixed.
@@blackironwalterkus3851 lmao 🤣 I never had an issue. But of course u all have to be “politically correct” which is absurd. And for starters I don’t see any racism in the ride itself. I get that the film was offensive but do keep in mind its how it was in those time period.
@@blackironwalterkus3851 Splash Mountain is infinitely more African than Princess and the Frog will ever be. The Laughing Place and all of the Br'ers are literally pulled straight from West African trickster myth. The Princess and the Frog is based on a European tale. Tell me which one respects African culture more?
@@TrilosonicResolutions actually it’s based off a book that was written by a slave owners kid. He wrote down stories he heard his dads slaves telling with his memory, meaning they were pretty inaccurate.

It looks like they added more lights so you can see the animatronics better
I agree. Your mom’s bobbing head couldn’t see the animatronics.
Bruh
They probably just fixed lights
New boats as well I think right?
Used to be single seats now it’s double
Welcome back Splash Mountain!!! Hope to ride again soon!!!!
This lighting upgrade is BEAUTIFUL! Everything looks so clean!

because African descended culture is more important than any other culture in America right now, its a croc
Respect 💯
Preach! Totally agree 👏
Hey LMG, thanks for the good POVs, keep up the good work!
The lighting inside looks so much better. Before it was so dark, not even the characters had lighting
I honestly don't remember seeing the lightning and thunder effect inside the Splash Mountain, but that's new!
I didn’t know you where there! Hi African Vulture!
Splash Mountain is my favorite. Please Disney don’t retheme this ride! PLEEEEEEAASE!!!!!

Welcome Back Splash Mountain 2022
Nice to see that the owl on the second lift hill is back. But they still haven't brought back Brer Bear saying that there is "nuth'n in here but bees"
great video as always. love to see the splash mountain videos

I love Splash Mountain it's so cute with all the little animals and I love little briar rabbit.
Poor Kris! Looks like you got soaked! Looks so much brighter in there and I think everything’s working. Thanks for this great video!
I LOVE Splash Mountain!
...not anymore D:
When they retheme, they better play "Are You Ready?" before the drop...
...and still play Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah at the end.
Best Splash Mountain Video i've ever seen.
Splash Mountain is a log ride where they have animatronics.
very good observation, thank you
Where is it?
thanks captain obvious
welcome back splash mountain
"Good bye cruel world oh no"😂😂😂 classic that last drop is always scary
Huge difference with animatronics and lighting
Splash Mountain is returning!
Perfect video dude. Sound, picture, angle, background, commentary, lighting.
Way better than old one
Gawd I love this music when you enter

I went on the 29th of January but it wasn’t open :(
@@jackrussellfan thats usually a maintenance month, January is not the best time to ride it
They will never re theme it.
@@CourageousDreamerAllon4journey I read that they unfortunately are :(
can’t wait to go!
the finale still lokks amazing
they went flyinnnngggg on the second drop lol
They really need to get it together on the cue music, but it’s so beautiful with the new lighting. Gonna miss this ride so much.
The black lighting really has improved in the laughing place scene
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS ♥♥♥
So freaking mad that they are changing it. It was an awesome ride, and a fun experience.
9:24 why did the dancing geese at the top switched dresses?
Ooo I hope its open tomorrow!

I’m going to Disneyland this Thursday🤩😁
But I am going to a hotel for 4 days we are going to the hotel tommorow
And I will go to the water park there
After all that refurbishment, they still didn't fix the rotating bees around the nests??
There’s actually a lot of things still missing/broken. The Br’er Bear animatronic in the laughing place scene, for example, hasn’t been fixed over the past 2 refurbs
Chapek strikes again 😂
Splash Mountain Is My Favorite Ride I Was Singing With Bre Rabbit At Ending
ayeeehhhh...sana maging okay na uli para makaliwaliw na tayong lahat gaya sa disneyland
Can you please film a low light video like this with a full log. I wanna see how big the splashes are
I couldn’t do that even if you paid me
1 hour early LOL. But hi!!! What rides did you go on yesterday on live since I had to leave if you went on any rides. Also love this! Got goosebumps by watching this. The line was short.
I just rode this recently and I got pretty soaked. But it was great. And I really loved it.
How can everything get fixed on Disneyland’s splash, but not disney world’s?
Sobbing on that ride 🙁

oh I TOTALLY agree! I wish they weren't retheming it! :(
Wow br’er fox at the end actually looks decent
Edit: I guess he looked like that last year as well. (Just watched the recap video)
I’m gonna miss this version- a LOT!! But I do have high hopes for the Princess and the Frog revamp
WHAT
ITS STILL HERE!!!!!
So long Splash Mountain. It's over at the end of 2022.
😢😭sucks I love splash mountain! :(
8:00 Somebody says “Goodbye, cruel world!”
I JUST LEFT AND NOW ITS OPEN!!!!

What time was this was Disneyland that empty
when did they put the lantern on the barn? It wasn't there in october
Missing Disney 😔🥺

I liked the princes and the frog inside splash mountain
i thouhght they made it a princess and the frog ride
Nope
Why bother? They're just going to close it again to replace it with the Princess and the Frog. Let old things die.
Iim going tomorrow
Hello old friend
Weow
Going to absolutely miss this attraction but so excited to welcome Tiana and her friends!
