History of Splash Mountain
Splash Mountain is a log flume ride at the Magic Kingdom theme park in Florida. It first opened on July 17 1992 and is based on the classic Disney film, Song of the South. The ride takes guests through the story of Brer Rabbit who are trying to evade the clutches of Brer Fox and Brer Bear.
The ride starts with a peaceful journey through the bayou. But it becomes more thrilling as guests drop down a five-story drop into the briar patch.
The ride also features several other drops with a final drop of 52 feet, which provides the Splash.
It was one of the most expensive Disney attractions at the time of its opening, with a reported cost of around $75 million. Since its opening, Splash Mountain has become a popular attraction at Magic Kingdom.
See you in the Parks!
