A few of those Guests got stuck on Splash Mountain this week among the Briar Thorns on the outdoor portion of the attraction. While ride breakdowns aren’t uncommon, this particular instance gave the Guests time to notice the deteriorating condition of the ride.
“Our log is broken. You can tell they’re about to scrap this ride because Disney would never, ever back in the day allow leaves to look like that,” the Guest said, filming thorns and fake leaves. “Look at these broken thorns. That would not have happened back in the day.”
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.
