Splash Mountain WDW Ultimate HD Tribute
Vložit
- čas přidán 19. 08. 2014
- A massive, detailed HD edit covering every aspect of the attraction. Begin with a look at the Disneyland version and the changes made in Orlando with a comparison between the two. Next is a detailed section looking at the planning, design and layout of the Orlando version plus a good look at how the area - and Frontierland Railroad Station - looked both before and during construction.
Take a look around the finished attraction from every area including the full queue, then walk to load for a full multi angle ride through of the whole ride from start to finish including every detail and every main show scene in full.
After riding, wander through Splash Down photos and take a tour of the larger Railroad station and ride both into and out of the ride and station.
Finally, take a whistlestop tour of the ride at night.
I’m again proud of the multitrack full source stereo audio edit I’ve managed.
Reserve over an hour for this one! - Zábava
There was nothing wrong with this attraction. It had a timeless beautiful story and a wonderful pacing with an amazing finale!
It had charm. Now once tiana's bayou opens then the country bear jamboree, big thunder mountain, and all of that area will be at risk of a retheme (which apparently is already being considered) due to it being "out of place" with tiana's bayou.
really goanna miss this ride so many memories everything about splash mountain was mighty satisfactual music, setting, characters nothing beats it
This ride is already perfect as it is, please rethink your plans Disney!
I Don’t Want Brer Rabbit To Go 😢
Me neither. 🥺
What ever you do Disney, dont leave splash mountain as is!!!
No. No. And No. Time for Brer Rabbit and friends to go bye bye.
@@Crimson_Snake1 in your dreams
Thank you for posting this tribute. When I became a cast member in 1993 they asked what ride I wanted to work on and I said Splash Mountain. I was fortunate to be a host here from 1993 to 1994.
Never got to do rides, unfortunately, but I was a food vendor myself, great experience, loved it.
Now Walt Disney World and Disneyland has permanently closed Splash Mountain for good that started on January 23, 2023 and May 30, 2023.😥But for now, let's just appreciate what Disney had this log flume ride that made us feel wet, still love and created so many wonderful memories for the ride over the past 30 and a half years. May Splash Mountain shine in our hearts for years to come.😍
Rest In Pieces Splash Mountain
35:13 I love the singing geese.
Such a shame the source material has the issues it does, the music and theming of this ride are so great. I enjoy just listening to this video and knowing it won’t sound like this anymore makes me kinda sad. I do however look forward to experiencing the update and am glad videos like yours exists!
Tokyo's ride soundtrack is exactly the same as WDW version, which is played in Nashville bluegrass style with banjos and guitars, where How Do You Do and Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah are sung in Japanese and Laughing Place still keeps its English lyrics.
SplashMountain Forever!!!!
RIP Splash Mountain. I had fun riding this attraction.
When I saw that the video was over an hour long I thought I would lose interest. Instead : I didn't want it to end !!! GREAT VIDEO !!!
Thanks for posting, This is the first time I have been able to clearly hear all the audio for this attraction.
Amazing tribute, Splash is my favorite ride, thanks for your efforts and for sharing, Have a zipidy doo dah day! KO
YAS
Thanks so much for such an AWESOME VIDEO!! Splash Mountain is one of my favorites at WDW. Heading back in 2 weeks!! YAY!!:))
47:39 Spongebob? Is that you?
this is truly an impressive amount of footage and information on this ride. nice work!
Man, your video tributes are amazing, love these.
I can only imagine the time and effort needed to put together these videos. Well done! Very thorough.
Me personally, I enjoyed the disneyland splash mountain alot more, Maybe because the memories it brings back
Fantastic job filming the ride!
Splash Mountain will always have a special place in my heart. This was one of the first rides I went on that helped me let go of my fear of thrill rides. i remember going to MK in 2004 and SM being the one mountain my mom. my brother and I would go on for an hour straight until park closing. The ride is so colorful and animated, it's tough to feel sad or stressed when on it.

40:18 Porky Pine was a secondary character from Pogo, a newspaper comic that managed to score an animated special by Chuck Jones, the same guy who made the animated How the Grinch Stole Christmas, and the creator of Wile E. Coyote and Roadrunner.
one of my favorites. thanks for this.
Very, very impressive job with this video. Kudos to you.
Thank you for your GREAT videos. My father worked at WDW for nearly 30 years, the place has a lot of meaning to me. I love the incorporation of backstory and history of the attractions that you include in your Ultimate Tributes. I look forward to (if you haven't done one already, I couldn't find one) a Maelstrom Ultimate Tribute! Thanks again.
35:13 I love the singing geese
they were recycled from another ride lol
@@GenGamesUniverse that was the Disneyland version of splash mountain and not the magic kingdom splash mountain
Excellent work.
31:08 Love that spiel!
I remember riding this before the lap bars. It felt like you we're going to fly out of the vehicle on the big drop. Terrifying but a fun sensation too. Glad they added the lap bars though!
Whoa, I’ve been trying to find the source audio of the chicken guy at 48:23 for months. This entire video is full of really rare audio clips, thanks my dude :)
Br'er Turkey?
Say no more I found the audio
Hello Martin. All of your uploads are wonderful, very impressed through the years. My girlfriend & I met you in passing last month whilst at EPCOT on a tour. Our guide, Taylor, did not mention it was you until after you had walked away from us. Had I known then that was you, I would have extended my congrats for your great work. You cover all the bases, and I respect that.
R.I.P. this splash mountain 1992-2023
Nice vid...great music.
the two differences I can spot straight away was the songs "Brer Rabbits Lament" and "Sooner Or Later" in Disneyland that were not included in WDWs version (even though Brer Rabbits Lament does play abit a sinister darker version when you're going up the final drop.
So you caught them at full motion? I've never seen them move so fluidly! 0_0 BRAVO!!! :)
You're awesome!!! Keep it up!!!! :D
Thanks for posting this! It will be more and and more important as we approach the inevitably subpar re-theme!
Okay, here are the voices I know...
Brer Rabbit and Brer Fox are Jess Harnell
Brer Bear and Brer Frog are both James Avery
The Vultures are Edward Conor and John Kelfreese..
And at least one of the Bullfrogs is Thurl Ravenscroft.
I don't know who voiced the other characters...
Did he also provide the voice in the Disneyland version? I know it most likely was, but IMDB says it was Will Smith...
Yeah... I figured it would be kind of weird if Will Smith voiced Brer Fox... Especially since he doesn't have that many lines in the Disneyland version anyway.
AD MACHINE Speaking of which, do you know who does the safety spiel? It sounds like Bill Farmer (the current voice of Goofy).
AD MACHINE Is he the voice of Mr. Bluebird, too?
First Brer Rabbit was voiced by Johny Lee then Jess Harrell took over Brer Rabbit and Brer Foxs voices
*disclaimer* i talk about my opinions as well as stated facts in this comment. if you're part of the easily offended, please do not attack me for my opinions. simply respect them. thank you.
keep splash mountain in florida, give tiana a whole LAND in circus land if that makes you happy. just don't touch this iconic, charming, fun-filled ride.
in disneyland however, i can see it fitting in next to splash mountain (rethemed to a dark ride not a boat ride) where new orleans square is.
90k wants the ride saved.while 20k wants it rethemed.(according to the petitions)
look at the facts disney, if you get rid of it you'll most likely loose a majority of your fans/ customers (including me). although people argue about the ride having "racist" undertones to its backstory...i disagree. the tales of brer rabbit in the disney film, "song of the south" (1946) includes an ex-slave from after the civil war who accompanies a little boy and tells him stories and teaches him valuable life lessons through the tales of br'er rabbit.
the film is nothing more than a man telling stories to a child, *thats it*
on top of this, the film's based on the brer rabbit stories which were themselves based on the African folklore that slaves brought with them to america. i feel as if removing, censoring, and disregarding these stories, this ride, this film, would be an insult to the african americans who told these stories at the time, as well as those who celebrate these stories as tradition. we should keep the ride, the film, the stories ALIVE as a part of history.
my question to the woke mob, is why would changing a disney ride make you feel better? a ride that is completely original and unproblamatic. a ride that features the same stories which uncle remus from song of the south tells to the little boy.
*if you believe the ride is racist because of it being based off a racist film, and not because the ride has any racist undertones to it; why not try to cancel the movie and not the ride?*
as for splash mountain, i myself think it will stay. as theres only been one piece of information and concept art about the new retheme. usually when disney announces rethemes or new large projects (ex. fantasylands add-on, tron, pandora, etc.) they provide their audience with as much information and concept art as possible. in this case, disney hasn't announced anything about the splash mountain retheme since june of last year.
this leads me to assume that "home sweet home is the lesson today" as brer rabbit would say.i really do hope for the best with splash mountain and its retheme to be canceled. its crazy to think that nowadays everything is now racist and offensive and *has* to be canceled. thank you for reading my comment and respecting my opinions. hope you all have a "zip-a-dee-doo-dah" day! stay safe and hydrated
I love splash mountain
I was born June 6, 1992. I was just over a month old when this opened.
Will you be making a newer Ultimate tribute for Splash Mountain?
the disneyland version of splash mountain was refurbished earlier this year to decrease the steepness of the final drop by 2 degrees so it will be more similar to the other splash mountains
You make the best ride throughs and tributes. The only thing that would make it better would be actual audio from the video that you took there, and less added in music and sound effects :)

@Aly H Why are you assuming I'm a SJW.. my god you guys are so fucking dense
You'll have to make another one of these soon
Childhood memories
Love these vids Martin! Haveb you ever thought of narrating some? Sometimes i love to listen to disney history vids as i lay in bed. Your level of info is unmatched and wish i could hear commentary
he uses text instead of talking
I hadn't even considered the fact that before splash mountain opened there was a completely different frontierland station
I tried this ride for many sits in Tokyo. If I will visit WDW on future time I must be will re-sit this attraction for many sits along with It's a Small World for many times for the ride's BGMs.
yes man i like that one.
I love the stories of Brer Rabbit, Brer fox, and Brer bear
I agree with you, MartinVidsDotNet.
Farewell Splash Mountain 😭🌊⛰🏞🐻🦊🐰🪵
#savesplashmountain
Nope
28:41 Brer Rabbit, eh?
Those two dislikes are Brer Fox and the ghost of the Western River Expedition.
BlackHatGuy64
Milt bugs. Mhmhbb.
Because Splash Mountain is located in Frontierland in WDW, Br'er Fox and Br'er Bear become animal desperados, and also in Tokyo Disneyland where Critter Country is themed to a western wildlife of Texas, New Mexico and Mexico as an expansion of Westernland (TDL's Frontierland equivalent due to word Frontier cannot be translated adequately according to wiki).
super mario matthew g
Why would Br’er Fox dislike a ride that’s literally made to look like his home?
I love riding splash mountain I used to get scared of it but now that I’m 21 years old I’m not scared of it anymore
In Disneyland California the BGM has a bayou like New Orleans jazz feel while in WDW has Nashville feel (bluegrass style with banjos and guitars) because the ride is in Frontierland. Burrow's Lament is the only exception.
the music sounds like snoopy and woodstalk on the river during the camp race

R.I.P Splash Mountain (1993-2020)
Here's my imitation of The Master from Doctor Who at 45:32:
DINNER TIIIIIIMMMMEEEEE!!!!
One mistake and unfortunately a little detailed fact that has slowly been lost over the decades. Due to a contractor mistake the top of the big drop to the splashdown down below was built slightly closer than what was supposed to have happened thus causing what should have been a 47 degree angle to be changed to a 45 degree angle. So, WDW and TDS both have a 47 degree drop whereas DL's drop is at 45 degrees. WDW's version of Splash is the smallest of all three with TDS being the largest. I can tell you from an operational standpoint the WDW load station is horribly laid out and makes it very difficult for the cast members to group the logs. Other than that I do like the backstory being more setup in the queue in WDW over DL's version, however I like the openness of space in the show scenes and the 40+ additional animatronics figures in the DL better. Overall I think DL's version is better with more to look at and the final steamboat finale scene is more impressive at DL as well
Agreed.
The open space in DL's makes it feel a lot more immersive and the additional animatronic figures make it a bit more interesting.
It also nice to know th majority of the America Sings animatronics will be preserved on Splash Mountain and live on for generations.
I think TDLs Splash Mountain is the best because their Brer Rabbit animatronic resembles closest to the one in the movie also the drop is taller
Crazy Wharf625
The animatronics there have an unfair advantage over DL's, mostly made in the 70s, and WDW, which also opened earlier.
I just read that Disney will retheme this ride after the Princess and the frog. I wish Disney would stop rethemeing their rides making them worse like they did for Epcot’s Norway ride, the Living Seas, and Universe of Energy. They were best the way they were before.
I like Frozen and Nemo better, but I agree, Splash should stay same.
The only reasons they are changing it is so journalists will stroke their egos and have an excuse to be lazy with the replacement.
Rip Splash Mountain 😑😭🌊⛰🏞🐻🦊🐰🪵
Where did you find the WDW Splash Mountain Medley Part when your up top of chick a pin hill 33:10-34:58
I think he made that himself somehow.

Magic Kingdom Vs Tokyo Disneyland
Has the "jumping" Br'er Rabbit (38:45) been put back in? When I went on it in '03, it wasn't there, and I was told it had been removed permanently. In a lot of ways, I like this Splash Mountain better than the original in Disneyland. Disneyland's doesn't have the frog telling the story, the jumping rabbit, the silhouettes of Br'er Bear and Br'er Fox chasing Br'er Rabbit, and is built too close to Haunted Mansion (which was originally supposed to be fairly isolated).
The jumping Brer Rabbit figure still works. Don't know what they did to it in 2003, but it has been working pretty consistently since 2010 at least (first I visited since the 90's).
granvillimus
Thanks. I wish it was working when I was there. That's a major feature that the Splash Mtn in CA doesn't have.
FreedomforHaiti I think the jumping Brer Rabbit's role was substituted by the rabbit on the railcar you can see if you look up after the opossums hanging from the ceiling. Since all of the audio animatronic cast (even some brer fox models were from that show), in the Disneyland version were from the America Sings attraction. This also explains why the Brer Rabbit in this version is brown unlike the ones in the WDW and Tokyo Disneyland version. For a ride that has a soundtrack closer to the movie's, and closer themes, that's not very accurate :) XD
Here’s a crazy idea: If Universal Studios is already paying Disney to keep their Spider-Man and Simpsons rides (Along with other 20th Century Fox and Sony rides), then how ‘bout this:
Universal made a fully animated “The Adventures of Brer Rabbit” movie with an all black cast. If Disney wants to re-theme the ride, then how about re-theme it to that movie?
That way the customers keep the same characters/story despite the makeover, and it’ll be fair if Universal and Disney pay each other for their share of each other’s properties. And also so Disney will be less likely to be seen as a greedy corporation.
Why was the WDW version changed compared to DLC? I know in DLC, Splash Mountain has Burrow's Lament before the final lift hill to the final drop, yet in WDWs version, it doesn't have it.
Disneyland's Splash Mountain largely repurposed animatronics from America Sings, so they had a lot of extra figures to use up and fill the attraction with. When Disney World's was constructed, they required all new figures, so the number of animatronics was cut to just enough to fill the attraction without throwing them in everywhere like Disneyland's (described at 2:55). The scene before the final lift was one of the casualties.
Burrow's Lament in WDW exists but it is only the instrumental tense orchestral music with no lyrics, just with choirs and the vultures' dialogue "Everybody's got a laughin' place? Maybe this one is yours...".
Brer Rabbit sounds a whole lot like SpongeBob Sqarepants to me.
Except for one thing. SpongeBob is played by Tom Kenny. Brer Rabbit was voiced by Jess Harnell, the voice of Wakko Warner
Well Brer Turkey sounds like Spongebob to me
Mason Barton He is. Tom Kenny voices Brer Turkey.
@@ceccappa4686 omg! 😀
What is the song called at 5:07? Love all your videos by the way!
Christian Williams “Thats what uncle remus said”
Sorry for being late :)
I need footage to see what the old briar patch store had sold! I really want a brer fox plushy...

I've seen a few vultures on EBay.
What about Splash Mountain in Walt Disney World from its opening to its closure? Aren’t you updating it?

does anyone know the name of the song at 13.30
Any chance you can OK these vids for mobile Martin?
At 37:23 ya can see my finger pointing at brer rabbit cause I remember riding this ride and was pointing at something and that was it
Is it me, or am I the ONLY one to notice that in Disneyland's version of Splash Mountain
Has Brer Rabbit's fur brown. In WDW, his fur is gray! Why did they change it? I liked the brown fur
Because it was closer to Song of the South Brer Rabbit. Or was that the reason? SOMEONE PLEASE
EXPLAIN!!!!
One blog I read suggested that WDW's Splash Mountain really, really wanted to cut off all ties with Song of the South due to its reputation, including changing B'rer Rabbit's fur colour.
Evilgidgit4Ever but why though?
Cztv productions He was actually gray in the movie! I saw it!
Out of all the Splash Mountains, Tokyo’s Brer Rabbit is actually the closest to the original
*Happy Sharecroppers* The movie doesn’t make it that obvious, but certain actions such as Uncle Remus being able to leave the plantation shows that it takes place post Civil War.
skip to 31:00 for the actual ride
38:06 the Brers shadow animation?
Can You Upload Tokyo Disneyland Splash Mountain Ride
8:00 If you look the to left of the Finale Artwork, you can see Br'er Fox treed by an alligator.
Ever consider doing Disneyland Pirates or HM?
35:13 Brer geese and frogs sing how do you do
The Boot Hill Boys @ 43:44-44:44
You forgot the bell at the zip a dee doo dah scene
Can you do this with Disneyland please
BAD NEWS! This ride’s leaving WDW on Jan 23, 2023!
Rest In Peace Splash Mountain 😑😭🌊⛰🏞🐻🦊🐰🪵
The only Splash Mountain located in Critter Country is Tokyo Disneyland's and Tokyo Disneyland's Splash Mountain also has western characteristics as well as the Critter Country where the area resembles US states of Texas and New Mexico and therefore TDL's Critter Country becomes the park's margarita earth due to Texas and New Mexico are places for hunting unique recipe margaritas. The area music loops of TDL's Critter Country area and Splash Mountain queue are also using country-western aroma with banjos, fiddles and harmonicas.
ISE D- Disneyland’s version in California is also located in Critter Country.The only one that isn’t located in Critter Country is Florida’s, which is located in Frontierland.
Kate F Now there is the re-theming issue and I guess Princess and the Frog should only work on California because the Critter Country is themed to New Orleans bayous.
Don’t lie. You came here because of the announcement.
Can anyone tell me what those buildings in the distance are at 34:12?
Emily Harper It is from a few adventureland rides. The thatch roof is The Enchanted Tiki Room and the tile is Pirates of the Caribbean plaza
Thank you, I thought I was going mad because one of them looked like the Chinese theater from DHS
