Length: About 10 minutes
Average Wait: 1 Hour

Due to the nature of the attraction, expectant mothers and guests with back or neck problems or any other physical conditions which might be aggravated by this attraction (heart conditions, motion sickness, etc.), should refrain from riding. Children under the height of 40" will not be allowed to ride due to safety considerations.

History:

Location:
Splash Mountain is hard to miss as you enter Critter Country. The line usually starts right past the Haunted Mansion though.

Description:
Splash Mountain is a water flume ride based on Disney's classic Song of the South. You are taken on a voyage through the story of Br'er Rabbit, and his hope to find a better home. En route, he is captured by the evil Br'er Fox and it is your job to take the five-story plunge into the briar patch to save him. Along the way you will be greeted by a cast of many audio-aimatronic characters, and experience three drops.

Splash Mountain is one of Disneyland busiest rides all year around. If you hope to find a shorter line, visit the park in the winter when the weather is cooler. You might also be able to find shorter lines in the early mornings right after the park has opened and during and after the nighttime shows. Be warned that Splash Mountain is a water flume ride which means you will probably get wet. Be sure to have all electronics and non-waterproof items in bags or protected to keep from getting wet. Once in the log do not place these items on the floor, as water does spill over the sides and will soak anything that is placed by your feet. I would recommend giving the items to a non-riding member or your party to hold onto. If you don't want to get completely soaked site in the back section of seats. This is the place that you will be least likely to get soaked. The front row, watch out, because water sprays in your face and drenches your feet by coming over the side. You will also notice that you will get wetter on the first two drops than you will on the final five-story drop. Most people would not expect this but it is true. Do not ride this attraction if you are not ready to get wet. To save yourself a little you can try wearing a rain poncho or garbage bag. If you do this make sure that you have covered your seat, because the seats are always wet from people getting out and into the logs. You may also want to have a change of clothes with you incase you do get very wet, and it just happens to be cold the day you are there.

On your way down the final flume you will have your picture taken in all you glory. Once the ride is over your log will stop at a viewing area where you can see your log on its way down. Once off the ride there is a viewing room where you can find the number of your picture and purchase it, if you like. Pictures cost roughly $10.00, and come in a card stock style paper folder. The price is a little steep, but what else can you get to show your friends how scared you really were.

Reviews:

I have to say that Splash Mountain is truly the bestest ride in the park. For 4 years, I was too frieked out to go on it but once I did, I realized how great it is. If you are just as frieked out as I was, don't be nervous, cause if you don't go, you'll regret it! Ali Moteabbed

You guys, are awesome! The one thing I did not see was how long of a drop down is this ride? I have been to Disneyland, repeatedly and I am going back there in a couple of weeks, around June 3rd or so. I graduate from Owasso Oklahoma on 5/15/00, as a reward my parents are taking me back to California and my favorite place, Disneyland! I am from California. My mom asked my boyfriend "So, what are you doing after graduation?" and he replied "I'm going to DISNEYLAND!!" You should have seen all the people stare at us out of amazement! It was awesome! You guys are doing a great job, keep up the great work!!
