Splash Mountain: E Ticket Attraction in the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World

Splash Mountain, the theme park attraction at Walt Disney World, is based the stories of Uncle Remus as told in the Disney movie "The Song of the South." After boarding hollowed-out logs in an old mill, we climb up Chick-a-pin Hill to begin their adventure with Brer Rabbit. Dozens of audio-animatronic characters welcome us guests and introduce the characters using cheery songs.

Brer Rabbit loves adventure so he heads out from his home in the Briar Patch in search of his Laughing Place. We are taken higher and higher on Chick-a-pin Hill, weaving indoors and outdoors, following Brer Rabbit and watching as Brer Fox and Brer plot to catch him. Is Brer Rabbit headin' for a little bit of trouble?

Now we hear banjos! Hee hee, hee hee, ho ho ho! Boy are we in luck. We are visiting Brer Rabbit's laughing place, with dancing water, singing turtles and other critters. But watch out! It looks like Brer Fox and Brer Bear has finally caught up with Brer Rabbit. Up ahead we can see a large hill and two vultures. Is it time to be turning around?

But we're in our logs with no place to go. There's Brer Rabbit tied up in a large pot as the two villians plan his demise. "Please Brer Fox, whatever you do, don't throw me in the briar patch!" our hero begs. Brer Fox takes the bait and that's exactly what happens -- and we slide down the 45-foot drop down Chick-a-pin Hill into the briar patch.

Zip-a-dee-doo-dah! Brer Rabbit has escaped, and we float back to home to a hero's welcome. A giant paddlewheeler with all of his fellow critters greets us with the famous song: "It's the truth. It's actual. Everything is satisfactual." Brer Rabbit swears he'll never leave his home again!

Back home in the mill, we exit our log. Has Brer Rabbit learned his lesson? We think not. Time for another ride...
