On TikTok, Kyle Philippi (@kylephilippi) shared a video of his daughter riding Splash Mountain for the first time. He said he asked her if she wanted to go on the “bunny ride” but neglected to mention the drop:
As the log approached Splash Mountain’s biggest hill, the Guest pointed out Cinderella Castle in the distance to distract his daughter. Needless to say, she wasn’t expecting the drop. Her head fell forward, and she smacked her mouth on the handrail.

At first, the little girl panics, thinking she lost a tooth. But the father assured viewers that she was okay – she started laughing as soon as she realized she wasn’t hurt. “Her face is fine,” he wrote.
Drop into a whimsical world filled with classic characters and songs on this thrilling log-flume adventure.
A Hare-Raising Ride
Gently drift through a colorful Southern bayou along with happy-go-lucky Br’er Rabbit as he looks for his “laughing place.” But be warned: Br’er Bear and Br’er Fox are in hot pursuit of this wayward hare.
Glide by over 100 adorable Audio-Animatronics geese, frogs, raccoons, possums, bees, alligators and other down-home critters as they sing classic Disney ditties, including “Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah” and “Ev’rybody’s Got a Laughing Place.”

Then hang on to your hats—this delightful musical cruise ends in an exciting 5-story splashdown into a thorny Briar Patch!
You Will Get Wet
This attraction includes 950,000 gallons of water, 3 dips and a 5-story drop. Where you’re seated will determine how wet you’ll get. Riders in the back may experience a sudden splash or spray; those who opt for the front can expect to get soaked.
