Splash Mountain is a spectacular ride through Disney's 1946 movie, Song of the South. Guests ride in hollowed out logs through colourful scenes involving Brer Rabbit, Brer Fox, Brer Bear, and the whole Brer gang. In fact, most of the ride feels like your actually in a cartoon. After going over 3 small waterfalls, guests arrive at a scene where Brer Rabbit has finally been captured by Brer Fox and Brer Bear. As hungry vultures watch on, Brer Rabbit pleads with Brer Fox, telling him to do anything he wants, except throw him into the briar patch. Fortunately, that's exactly what Brer Fox does. Unfortunately, guests also plummet 5-stories down to the briar patch. Once back inside the mountain, guests are met by tons of Brer Rabbit's friends singing "Zip A Dee Doo Dah" to welcome him back. Splash Mountain is an ideal Disney ride; it has charming characters, thrills, rich scenery, extensive use of Audio-Animatronics, and a good story.
