- An in depth look at how Splash Mountain in Disney World, Tokyo Disneyland and Disneyland are different.
Splash may be no more in Disneyland and Walt Disney world, But it is still a great time to take a look at all the cool changes between the 3 thrilling attractions.
The data on the Splash Mountain rides from the Disneyland, Disney world, and Tokyo Disneyland universes have been analyzed and corelated between each other. This data is to be presented to the cartographers to aid in mapping the parallel dimensions so that they can be distinguished from each other beyond a doubt. This is essential for safe and precise dimensional travel and will ensure that another mishap will be avoided.
Update... Some bright analysists have informed me that there are three alligators, and three possums in all three dimensions when the ride is operating at 100% sorry for missing this important detail. there is also a road runner in Disney world, • Splash Mountain front ... at 5:12 will get you a good look at it. I should have scrutinized more sources and been more through. Thanks to gator_joie and Philip kipple. an additional feature missed is that there is normally a turtle next to Brer Rabbet in Disneyland when he first leaves his home. • SPLASH MOUNTAIN FULL R... at 3:20 will give a good look as well.

The gators are a trio in all three versions. Just one seems to be missing in DL and Tokyo DL, most likely getting maintenance.
I'll pin this so others can see. thanks
You’re welcome!!
I put a note in the description and have this pinned in the comments. I don't think I'll take down, don't want to lose the comments and other selfish reasons. If more flaws are found and good details I have not mentioned are brought to my attention in the comments I can post an update. I know this is a half measure and I hope it is not too disappointing.
After seeing this comparison, what I love about the WDW version is that because it isn't already set in Critter Country, it has to ease you into the fantasy critter world from the Frontierland aesthetic. There are more mandmade structures and more realistic rock work around the exterior of the mountain and the queue, but the trip around the the top of the mountain begins to blend the aesthetics until you enter the show building. The saturated colors like the lavender trees and the bright blue sky in the background make the WDW version feel even more like you are in a cartoon realm. Returning to the load platform in WDW also feels like you've been abruptly pulled back to reality from a dream state because you have to return to the realistic Frontierland whereas the critter elements are free to continue in Anaheim and especially Tokyo.
This is an amazing assessment. I'd never have looked at it like that, but I'm sure the Imagineers did. Thanks!
Too bad once they turn it into Tiana’s it’ll fit and integrate best at Disneyland versus any of the other parks
Tokyo looks better still, especially with the trees growing on the mountains
I love the hanging leaves in Tokyo's Splash mountain so much!
Honestly they are a little too much. It creates a claustrophobic atmosphere at times.
Disneyland will always be the best for me. The animatronics might be older but there are more of them and it makes the scenes feel more alive. Plus the scene after laughing place with the mothers warning their children seems to be missing in the other versions. WDW and TRD just don’t tell the story as well. Personally I prefer the DL soundtrack.
I think i prefer Disneyland as well. the mother scene clenches it for me
Too bad they're changing the theme. I agree with you!
I wished Splash Mountain can stay without changing.
I kinda wish that you used footage that showed tokyo's splash mountain during the spring. The show building looks so pretty with flowers covering it. The footage you showed appears to have been taken during the winter (before snowing). It also looks really cool when covered in snow
I was lucky enough to see it covered in snow!
There was a turtle there too 11:29
Tbh I think Tokyo has the coolest station, it’s a lot more immersive when it’s all indoors almost makes me wonder what a nearly 100% indoor splash mountain would be like, this is pretty close
Tokyo's queue station first takes place inside a cowboy world style house cabin and mine shaft then a dark cave.
I wish Splash Mountain could stay forever 😢
Pretty much everyone does.
Insane how advanced everything looks in Tokyo considering it was built at the same time as WDW, all 3 are great but I think for atmosphere Japan wins!
That queue takes it away
Tokyo's is very well maintained, while many people say that both US versions started to have a noticeable decline in the mid to late 2000's. Honestly, Tokyo's version looks so prestine that it could have opened this year.
After this detailed comparison, I think WDW has the superior version. Disneyland comes second. Tokyo has parts that are weirdly empty... All versions are very enjoyable though
The building of Splash Mountain is based on Georgia's landmark and Georgia's red clay. In California, the building has reddish Georgia style red clay color whereas Magic Kingdom and Tokyo's, the building is colored like Big Thunder/Bryce Canyon to make a perfect blend of western themed locations.
This is an excellent video, thanks for all your work. Not to take anything away, but there are a few very minor details you neglected for Tokyo, like a bee being on Br'er Fox's nose before the Laughin' Place and the tiny houses and tables in the outdoor portion before Zip-a-Dee-Do-Dah which are not seen in any other version. There's also audio in the Tokyo queue right before the owl animatronic of little owls asking the grandpa owl to tell them the story of Splash Mountain. Lastly I think the famous "FSU!" mole is worth mentioning, he is in WDW and TDL but not DL
25:20 fun fact: the box to the left of this wall is actually a screen that used to show the onride photo in a similar fashion as at disneyland, but it would often show the wrong photo to the wrong log, so they didn't use it
Excellent video and I don't blame you for missing some details here and there. The only major detail you didn't stress enough was the soundtrack differences. The Disneyland version uses a more traditional musical approach while WDW and Tokyo both use the same songs but in a bluegrass style that, in my opinion, suit the attraction better.
Thank you for this wonderful treat of a video!
Like, I just love this type of Disney park analysis so dang much. I get warm feelings in my heart for just this!
I will die of happiness if you do Haunted Mansion! 💕
Disappointed to know that the Tokyo queue is another loading line mostly in one room. I remember being in the big room for Tokyo Disney SEA’s Indiana Jones and you just stayed for most of the time in the one big room vs Disneyland which makes a longer line such a treat.... even though Disneyland has that big area, wherever you are in it feels so different! Trying to think if Tokyo likes doing that for anything else? I didn’t get to stay long enough to see all of Tokyo Disney.
You got it. Haunted mansion will be the topic of the next video
Love your videos. It's great to see you getting your well deserved success.
I'm very happy you are enjoying them
Disneyland Splash Mountain is the BEST!!!
🌩🐔
Umm no...
No I enjoyed the wow and Tokyo VERSION more
No but it's great
I've also noticed the turtle. In Disneyland, Br'er Rabbit is talking to the turtle. In Disney World, the turtle is being used as an instrument.
It's funny how the Tokyo version kept the FSU easter egg
is that the gopher one that sounds like a sneeze?
@@ParallelDiscover yea I found out about it from my teacher who was an fsu alumni
Wonderful job!
i think MKs was the best when it was actually up and runnign and not in absolute disrepair
In my opinion Disneyland takes the cake on splash mountain… before watching this video I really thought my opinion would not be that. Although Disneylands lighting and cartoon colors in the landscape being it together… also the finale with the dip a dee lady is big and has lots of action… although in WDW it has small and seems to have weird carnival lights on it… wasn’t fond of the Tokyo boat color palette either… kinda made me queasy lol… 💦🪵
I agree. I like Disneyland the best overall
I enjoy this video, and this kind of topic.
One detail you missed (nothing major), but Brer Fox says "Well I'm glad I thought o' that! Cause that's just wheres you's going! Here ya go!" before the big drop. Brer Bear says "Briar Patch?" in WDW and TDL
I'll need to look for that. Thanks.
Walt Disney World's and Tokyo's have rather Western characteristics with country western soundtrack with banjos and harmonicas.
2:11
Note: 2 OR 3 GUESTS ON SEAT
oh right, my mistake
The roadrunner is actually in Disney Worlds version he appears before the drop during the Laughing Place where B'rer Bear is stuck. The video dosen't show it but he asks if he can go to the Laughing Place with B'rer Rabbit.
Yah, I have learned to watch at least 4 pov's to see if I am missing things or if things are broken.
@@ParallelDiscover yeah Splash in the states has a habit of missing effects. Usually it's the transition from How Do You Do to the Laughing Place. B'rer Rabbit hopping breaks down a lot. Overall though this was a good Video and its always cool seeing the differences between the same rides at the diffrent parks.
17:55 i should say that there was a very brief moment around splash mountain's grand opening where these animals sang a song called "sooner or later" which was not scary at all. that song is still heard today in the queue
this comment will be outdated fairly quickly because disneyland's splash mountain is closing forever to be rethemed on may 30th, 13 days from now
Tokyo Disneyland's Critter Country is the park's margarita earth due to Texas and New Mexico style themings where margaritas and their festivals are common in these US states.
also in my imaginary disney park, called disneyland florida, splash mountain is there in critter country, but recently i decided to change its name to its originally planned name before they changed it to splash mountain: zipadee river run. this version of the ride uses disneyland's music genre and soundtrack, but has a combination of disney world and disneyland version's scenes
Some of the animatronics on Disneyland's version of Splash Mountain are missing such as one of the alligators at the end and there is supposed to be a turtle next to Brer Rabbit
You are right, I should have used a clip that had the turtle.
DisneyWorld had the best showbuilding, animatronics, and music, but Disneyland had better exterior, caves, and grass. Disneyland also has the addition of the swarming bee effect, and a much better shadow for Brer Fox.
I personally find tokyo's showbuilding during spring to be the best 🌸🌷⚘️💐
I mostly agree with your other remarks though
tokyo splash mountain is superior in my opinion. it’s just awesome
For the most part I personally agree, But the foreboding scene with the animals warning their children about the laughing place is so good
There was a tragic death of Debbie in the deceased attraction America Sings.
Brer fox’s shadow works in all three parks. Just Disney worlds didn’t work just that one day and it’s fixed now.
Wait so will there be one remaining splash mountain when Tiana takes over!?
As far as I know Tokyo's is not changing
Caves. Caves everywhere.
Winner: Tokyo
Reason: it outlasted all of them
Coolll
i can’t be the only one who was too dumb to realize there was an extra building for the inside areas🤦♀️
originally I thought it was all inside the mountain in some form. it kind of blew my mind how far away you get from the actual mountain.
I was one of those idiots too lol 😂
Buddy...uhm...u messed up the Ride Structure and Ride Queue for Magic Kingdom and Disneyland. I've been 2 MK's and it doesn't look like that. Plz Fix dis. Love ya. -Jean V.
I have definitely made mistakes. This one I am not noticing. Is there a specific spot?
Can you do it’s a small world
Yes. I've been off for a bit but its a small world will be my next comparison. I'll try to have it out before December.
Br'er Fox disliked this video.
I always thought Disney World was better but seeing it closer it seams like the downgraded version
I really like the part before the drop at Disneyland.
California seems to have more stuff in it than the others. Must have been a nightmare to maintain.
i was the thousandth veiwer:)
That’s fake. I was and I doubled checked cause I remember like almost a year ago when I left a comment on this video
Good video but, it takes too long because you take about every single little detail that don't need to be mentioned
I personally like this, because I know the difference vaguely, but not exactly. This feels different than videos that have already been done.
I think you might be right on run time. I'll try to make things more bite sized. Maybe just do a comparison between two parks and then a third video on an additional park using the video prior. this may even allow me to put things out faster. what do you think about that? I think the little details are some of the most fun though.
@@ParallelDiscover i love your vids ❤️
