Splash Mountain - Disneyland - Anaheim, California - Complete Ride

Take a musical journey aboard a hollowed-out log through a colorful bayou populated with cheerful critters. One of the most elaborate Disneyland Park attractions, Splash Mountain culminates in a daring approximately 5-story plunge down rustic Chick-A-Pin Hill.

During the approximately 9-minute water flume voyage, a cast of 103 backwoods critters tell the tale of carefree Brer Rabbit's plucky escapades as he strikes out on his own in search of a little bit of adventure.

Drift past unforgettable sights and sounds that recreate memorable scenes from the classic Disney film Song of the South — including the pursuit of the crafty Brer Rabbit by the scheming Brer Fox and his bumbling partner in crime, Brer Bear.

You can preview the climatic plunge from the front of Splash Mountain and get a sense of what you are in for. Or can you? The logs appear to race down Chick-A-Pin Hill towards the Briar Patch...and then mysteriously disappear with a tremendous splash.

Brer Rabbit's cunning only gets him so far. Eventually he is captured by Brer Fox and Brer Bear. Brer Rabbit pleads with them, do anything to him, except throw him down the thorny Briar Patch...which is exactly what they plan to do. And you're along for the ride!

Don't worry! Brer Rabbit has a secret. Far from fearing the Briar Patch, it is actually his secret hideaway: his laughing place. Take the plunge down Splash Mountain and discover Brer Rabbit's laughing place for yourself!

Most riders will get wet during their excursion on Splash Mountain. There are several smaller drops before the final plunge down Chick-A-Pin Hill, all of which have the potential to spray and splash. Riders in the front of the log tend to receive a more generous dowsing than riders in the back — but you can never be sure, that's part of the fun!

Longtime Disneyland Park Guests might find many of the Splash Mountain critters familiar. Much of the cast originally made their Disneyland debut at the classic show America Sings, where they performed patriotic melodies in Tomorrowland from 1974 to 1988. When America Sings successfully completed its run, the beloved performers were recruited to make the trip over to Critter Country for the opening of Splash Mountain in 1989.
