The Final Goodbye to Disneyland’s “Splash Mountain”

• by Michelle Snow
• May 31, 2023 May 31, 2023

On Tuesday, May 30, 2023, fans gathered in Critter Country inside Disneyland to say their final goodbyes to “Splash Mountain,” which was closing to be transformed into a new attraction, “ Tiana’s Bayou Adventure .”

“Splash Mountain” has been a popular ride since it first opened on July 17, 1989. It was originally conceived by Imagineer Tony Baxter, who was actually on hand to say his final goodbyes to the attraction along with everyone else.

And as we say good-bye, let’s not forget the classic “Splash Mountain” rap:

Never forget this iconic song pic.twitter.com/A2qkjwrD1K — No Context Theme Parks (@OOCParks) May 31, 2023

Now only one “Splash Mountain” remains, and Tokyo Disney Resort says they have no plans to change the attraction. But Disneyland and Walt Disney World’s versions are no more.

Even though there were huge crowds for the final day of the attraction as we know it, a lot of fans couldn’t be there, so I thought I’d compile some photos and videos from the last day.

Please be patient as it may take a bit to fully load.

Long Lines and High Emotions as Guests Rush to Ride Splash Mountain on its Final Day!

by Madeleine Lily · May 30, 2023

Today’s the day, folks, as Splash Mountain takes its final plunge over at the Disneyland Resort! 

As expected, it’s looking like a very busy day ahead, with huge numbers of poncho-clad guests all ready to soak up the atmosphere as the beloved attraction prepares to stop flowing permanently, ready for its Princess and the Frog- inspired reimagining . 

Our MickeyBlogger Greg is there to keep us posted on what the day brings, so let’s see what’s going on so far!

In the early morning in California, we witnessed huge crowds of guests making their way into the park for this monumental occasion.

The crowds subsequently formed orderly queues waiting to ride the attraction, with mixed emotions running high throughout!

Eager guests formed a line stretching into New Orleans Square as they waited for the Critter Country gates to open. 

You just know it’s going to be a busy day when those temporary “Line Forms Here” signs make an appearance!

Back in January, when the East Coast Splash Mountain plunged its final plunge at Walt Disney World, we witnessed mayhem at the Magic Kingdom, with crowds high at the park from rope drop right through to park close.

We’ve been expecting similar sorts of levels at the Disneyland Resort and, from the looks of the lines in these photos, we’re on the right track!

Not only are guests going to want to ride the attraction one last time, but there’s also going to be a rush to take photos of the iconic facade, stock up on merchandise, and enjoy views of the area before the construction efforts move in. 

For many of us, Splash Mountain is a symbol of nostalgia and classic Disney magic, so it’s only natural for fans to be disappointed to see it close.

Back in January, our MickeyBlogger Justin wrote an incredible post that sums up the inevitable emotion and sadness that comes with losing such an iconic part of our childhood, and I’d definitely recommend you give that a read here .

However, at the same time, it’s important to also look at this change as an exciting step towards a new future at Disney Parks. From what we’ve already heard about Tiana’s Bayou Adventure – the new, reimagined attraction set to move into Splash’s former space – it’s sure to be a phenomenal work of Disney Imagineering.

We’re excited for it to beautifully build on all the characters, adventures, and stories we already love from Princess and the Frog,  and we look forward to the new experiences it’ll bring to both Disneyland and Walt Disney World in 2024. 

Despite the mixed feelings, it’s undeniable that the energy levels among guests are high today in Critter Country. After all, we’re all here to celebrate the same, long-beloved attraction!

It’s such a significant day, and we’re happy to be here to soak up this unique atmosphere.

So, after today, Splash Mountain will be permanently closed at Disneyland Park, and we’re sure some readers may be wondering what this will mean going forward. 

Well, our MickeyBlog reporters have been closely monitoring the development over at Magic Kingdom’s former Splash Mountain site, and you can check out our photos of the current construction progress here .

The Magic Kingdom site is now four months into its overhaul, and we’ve seen an increase in scaffolding and other signs of construction over the past few weeks.

If the Disneyland site is going to follow the same pattern, guests can expect to see Tiana start to make her mark on the area very soon, with themed construction walls and other signage advising visitors of the transformation to come.

For today, however, we hope guests visiting the park have a magical, zip-a-dee-do-dah day of posing for photos in front of Splash Mountain, riding the ride, and cheering along as each flume plummets down.

If you can’t be there, however, don’t worry! MickeyBlog will be sharing full coverage of the day over on our social media accounts as well as the blog, so be sure to follow along over there if you can’t be at the park in person.

We’re sure every Disney fan is there in spirit right now, so join in the fun and let’s bid Splash Mountain the most magical farewell together!

Splash Mountain lines reportedly near 4 hours on Disney World ride's final operating day

See images from the classic attraction's last day before it undergoes a major makeover into a Princess and the Frog-themed boat ride set to open in 2024.

Splash Mountain has been flung into the Briar Patch for good, and crowds showed up to Disney World in droves to bid the classic attraction farewell on its final day of operation at the Florida resort.

Sunday marked the last day the log flume ride would open under its current theme, which pulls inspiration from the 1946 movie Song of the South — a film long accused of perpetuating racist stereotypes.

Disney World and Disneyland will open new iterations of the ride named Tiana's Bayou Adventure in 2024. It will take inspiration from the 2009 animated hit The Princess and the Frog and feature the voice of Anika Noni Rose , who played Tiana in the original film.

Visitors shared photos and videos of their experience on Splash Mountain's final day, with various images showing a mass of people crowding the ride's exterior. Wait times reportedly stretched to over 200 minutes . EW has reached out to a Disney representative for more information.

One video, shot by Disney Food Blog, shows the line for the attraction stretching back into the Frontierland section of the park, near the adjacent Liberty Square area.

Picking up where the Princess and the Frog 's narrative left off , Tiana's Bayou Adventure is set in the American South, with Tiana guiding riders through colorful canals swamps alongside her pal, Louis the alligator.

Zydeco music will fill the air as a band of animals, including an otter, a rabbit, a raccoon, a beaver, and more, make music with objects plucked from the immersive environment.

One remaining version of Splash Mountain is currently in operation (with the Song of the South theme) at Tokyo Disneyland. The company has not announced whether that version will get the Princess and the Frog update as well.

In addition to the Splash Mountain revamp, new attractions set to open at Disney World include a Tron -themed roller coaster at the Magic Kingdom in April, as well as a Moana -inspired walk-through experience currently under construction as part of a substantial overhaul of Epcot.

See images from Splash Mountain's final day of operation above. Tiana's Bayou Adventure will open sometime in 2024.

Fun facts from our Moscow Metro Tours:

From the very first days of its existence, the Moscow Metro was the object of civil defense, used as a bomb shelter, and designed as a defense for a possible attack on the Soviet Union.

At a depth of 50 to 120 meters lies the second, the coded system of Metro-2 of Moscow subway, which is equipped with everything you need, from food storage to the nuclear button.

According to some sources, the total length of Metro-2 reaches over 150 kilometers.

The Museum was opened on Sportivnaya metro station on November 6, 1967. It features the most interesting models of trains and stations.

Coffee Ring

The first scheme of Moscow Metro looked like a bunch of separate lines. Listen to a myth about Joseph Stalin and the main brown line of Moscow Metro.

Zodiac Metro

According to some astrologers, each of the 12 stops of the Moscow Ring Line corresponds to a particular sign of the zodiac and divides the city into astrological sector.

Astrologers believe that being in a particular zadiac sector of Moscow for a long time, you attract certain energy and events into your life.

Paleontological finds 

Red marble walls of some of the Metro stations hide in themselves petrified inhabitants of ancient seas. Try and find some!

• Every day each car in  Moscow metro passes  more than 600 km, which is the distance from Moscow to St. Petersburg.
• Moscow subway system is the  5th in the intensity  of use (after the subways of Beijing, Tokyo, Seoul and Shanghai).
• The interval in the movement of trains in rush hour is  90 seconds .
