  • anybody else just keep thinking of the the songs each animal use to sing on America Sings? or am i the only one?

  • @zac613 Nope. I do too.

  • @LemonCurdAddict1234 YAY! lol

  • i think this youtube quality is great! way to go, ru42!! i love your videos so much...

  • Amazing ride, but after watching this video, I realized that I like the florida one much better :) which is good because that's the one I always go to since I live in florida

  • I loveeee splash mountain!

  • @galago100 Me,too! It was my favorite ride as a child. 

  • Like this if you just skipped through to the drop :)

  • I love your videos! Makes me feel like I'm there which makes me happy :)

  • I really wanted to go on this ride at Disney World, but the wait was 100 MINUTES LONG! <:( Oh, well. I can only experience it (sort of) by watching videos. I love the music in this. It has three of my favorite Disney songs: "How Do You Do?", "Ev'rybody Has a Laughing Place", and, of course, "Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah".

  • I miss this ride when I was little. |)

  • @Oobiiana590 U do? I have a pin of the ride that you're talking about in the comment boards. It has Mickey,Donald and Goofy all wet. My parents and I got some shirts with the Song Of The South characters on it that says,"Just Awesome".

  • I was supposed to go to Disneyland a month ago, but the trip just fell apart T.T

    Anyways, thank you ru42, you're videos are always fun to watch!

  • The rides at Dreamworld OZ are much scarier

    DL is overated

  • @Tombothebomb dick

  • Great video! I went on this in November, but I freaked myself out and spent the better part of the ride worrying about the drop... oh well, pretty good quality, RU42!

  • Dude, either you were 5, or you're extremely chicken. I went on this when I was about 8, and I loved it, it wasn't all that scary. I spent time on the ride preparing for the drop, it 'asted 2 seconds, and it was over. Nothin all that bad

  • @TheAlexaChick he's prolly a chicken.. and yes i can confess im a chicken too.. dunno why.. it looks scary but theni guess if u go do it.. its not that bad.. but still i dunno why i prefer jurrasic park the ride than this one.. lol

  • yeah i don't really care for rides but i could at least give it a try

  • @thejanuarychild lol i dont blame u but i think they wanted to make it feel like u were the rabbit

  • YAY I get to back in February! Haven't been for a year and a half!

  • I'm going in February too! ^^ i haven't been for almost 2 years

  • my friend and I went on this and we was in the front and 2 lil kids and thier dad was behind us I felt bad cuz when we saw the picture you couldn't see the kids. lol.

  • shaky, but good

  • I almost had a heart attack i couldent even Scream i was like AAAH BlBlBlBBlBl AHHHHH

  • last time i brung my friend to splash mountain and she kept screaming becuz she was scared of the animals singing and how they look and at the end she said ur suppose to be bear soup.

  • I LOVE THIS RIDE!!!!! The middle drop to the laughing place is freaky though. How tall is it?

  • i went on for the first time yestarday! it was so cool! but i didnt REALLY like the last drop, but it was cool too!

  • im going for my bday tooo oct 3 day b4 16th b day

  • Thank you for these videos!! I am going next week for my birthday and I am so excited...:)

  • We all sang at the last part...

    Zip-a-dee-doo-dah Zip-a-eh wonderful feelings wonderful day! It was awesome

  • This ride is the best!! I go there at least I go 5 times a day. This ride is AWESOME! Its a mixture of Fun and Thril, it makes a wonderful taste!

  • I just got back from Disneyland today! This ride is my favorite in the Disneyland park and in the California park my favorite rides are California Screamin' and Grizzly River Run!

  • I got back from DL about a week and half ago. My fav. rides there are Pirates of the Caribbean, Matterhorn and the Indy ride. Splash Mt. is sooooooo much better in Walt Disney World, Magic Kingdom, than it is in Disneyland.

  • Ive never been to WDW Ive been to DL and why is it better in WDW? Just wondering dont mean to sound to rude or anything lol

  • Well its just a personal opinion I guess. I've always have gone to Disney World pretty much all my life, just this past month was I blessed to go to Disneyland. Id say its better in WDW because its side by side seating, you dont get as wet, and it goes slower while you inside giving you enough time to soak up the story about Brer Rabbit and co. The one in DL is nice, it has more Animatronics and stuff, but you go by them so quickly it kinda defeats the purpose of having so many.

  • Im not gona say anything bad about WDW SM cause I havent been on it So I cant say anything about it and yeah thats true the ride does go pretty fast

  • I know this may not do it any justice, but have you watched vids of the SM in WDW? It cant really replace actually being there but its like the next best thing.

  • hahahahahhaa I watched it after you replied to my comment it does go by alot slower

  • Very admirable...I take my hat off to you youngin'

  • i just went on saturday for my birthday

  • :( I miss this ride... I haven't been on it in a long time... But I'll go on it next time I go to disneyland

  • wow i go to disneyland at least 2 times a year and ive never been on this ride mostly bcuz of the long ass lines but i guess thats why it has a fast pass lol...

  • My absolute favorite ride is this one in particular, rode it twice in my life. Once when I was 5, then when I was 16. At one point the ride was closed. :(

    For an odd reason though, I find the animatronics kinda creepy, but still fun when you're actually there!

  • How'd you keep the camera dry during all this?

  • disney is better than knotts

    by far

  • you have to go on a good day cuz when it's hot and everybody there that line goes all the way to haunted mansion. and fast pass for this ride be goin quick.

  • OMG my friends r gonna drag me 2 dat ride gosh im gonna calll the middle cuz im the tallest ahhh

  • I love your work!!

    you have to take the ride 4 o 5 times to got a good take for the video. you must have been a disneyland fan!!!

    Love this ride!

  • I agree too. BEST RIDE IN THE WORLD AT BOTH DISNEYLAND AND WALT DISNEY WORLD. =D

  • BEST ride EVERRR

  • I love the attractions at the disney parks. Even while standing in line, you are emerced in the theme of the ride. in other words, the line is part of the attraction as a whole.

    got to love disney. they think of everything.

  • This ride is sooo ass-kicking coz the drops are awesome!!!

  • huh,usually when i go on this ride, at the very beginning of the big drop, brer fox says something like, "this is just where you belong!" but i didnt hear it in this vid. anyone know why?

  • im going to disneyland this summer and this is my fav ride i cant wait

  • im going there to this summer. I'm bring my friend and he's never been on this ride.

  • best ride in the park

  • I love that ride. The best part is the big drop.

  • i love this ride once my dad and i rode it at wdw 3 times in a row without getting off it was amazing!!!!

  • lASt tiME i GOt ON tHiS RidE WAS AGUSt 26 2008 iT WAS AWSOME..

  • Wow... I haven't been on this ride since 1997... It's a little different than I remember but it's cool to actually just see the whole thing, when I was little I just closed my eyes and screamed the whole time. :P

  • I'm gonna go there on my birthday (4-27) which is more than a month away, but I can't wait! This is my favorite ride! :D My friend got annoyed with me narrating the ride to her. XD

  • hey 5207 so you're going tomorrow! that's awesome! have fun! :)

  • This is my fave ride ever. I was there on Sunday 3-1-09 and went on this ride 4 times. I would of went on it again if the afternoon crowds were not so big, but that's alright. I'm just happy I got to go on Splash Mountain.

    Thanks a lot, RU42.

  • you know about the miniature drops on the inside of the cave before the finalone In ontario place they were about the size of the small ones and I was scared to go on them, I went on this ride and guess what happened at the final drop ( LOL when I tried to scream it came out a uh)

  • I love this ride

  • The version of Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah heard here, for those wondering, is from the Magic Kingdom version of Splash Mountain's queue area. It's one of 10 Splash queue songs never released through the Walt Disney World Forever system. (The other nine are not out there anywhere, it seems - this is the only one that can be found. :( )

  • Thanks for the info. I love this version.

  • I've been searching in vain for the guitar version of "Zip-a-dee-doo-dah" you used in the beginning of the video. Is it commercially released?

  • I wonder how someone could film and not scream on the final drop. Unless it was edited.

  • I love your videos! Where did you get this version of zip a dee do dah?

  • its from the ride

  • The song at the start of the video is not the version on the ride.

  • o i c what u r saying. that is a cool version. i would just look up acoustic folk zip a dee doo dah or something, in fact im going to go look it up now

  • oh man...WAY too scared to go on this ride! cool video, btw

  • alot of people think that the audio animatronics on splash mountain are water proof. but theyre not. notice at 3:58 , 5:26 , and 7:35 that they are the end of all 3 drops but there is quite a distance before you go near an audio animatronic. that is to keep them from getting wet and breaking

  • also so that the rider can get to see them.when thier is a drop your goin faster also the rider have thier eyes close or thier ducking.

  • No but they can still be waterproof because there in a very moist, humid place and they would get water on yep occasionally.

  • I imagine they're at least somewhat waterproofed or, at the very least, water resistant. The nature of the ride requires it. Inside the ride itself is actually pretty wet. They're somehow protected, I can tell you that

  • Hey RU42, have you seen my video on this ride? I'll send it to you in case you haven't!

  • My parents love it as well as my Auntie Joy. Thanks for posting, RU42!

  • When i went on i was scared,but then after we got off all wet i was like ,THAT WAS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!

  • What I did on the big drop was turn my head back - and I didn't feel a thing! That jumpy feeling in your stomach goes away, and if you just look back with your head, but keep your body forward, you don't feel any motion (not that the motion is bad).

  • I can't wait to ride this ride next week! Thank you so much for making this ru42, it's absolutely WONDERFUL! :D

  • I am going in June!!! and i can't wait to go. And as a treat from watching ru42's videos i am going to be making my own to!.

  • ru42 do you know who voiced the hitchhiking alligator? I would like to say its Thurl Ravenscroft but the voice is too light.

  • i can tell you this, its definately not thurl becauseif you look on a haunted mansion vid and listen tothe bust that looks like walt disney, the voice is much lower in pitch

  • ILOVE THIS RIDE AND I LIKE ALL THE SONG

  • dont let this bad youtube quality ruin the video for you. take the advice from me, a buyer from ru42, and purchase his dvd's the quality is so much better than right here on youtube. trust me just go to his website.

  • Thank you very much, I appreciate that! My site, that was mentioned, is members*cox*net/ru42 (replace the * with .) - - RU

  • actually i should be thanking you bc u make such awesome movies. Also i am going to disneyland on october 18th and i am so excited so i watch all your movies like every night.

  • Ya.........Does the DVD Cost?

    I liv in japan!

  • last time i went on this ride was in december and i got soaked. I had never gotten that soaked on this ride before. I rember that during that second drop were you see the bears ass when our log splashed this huge wave came in and wet us all

  • My best ride in howl world is splash moutain

  • for some apparent reason i like the smell of the pirates of the carribean place and spalsh mountain O.O

  • somehow, i have the same feeling too.....

  • same here! ;]

  • I like that smell too

  • Dont feel bad, I love the smell too! :D

  • me too it smells awesome!!!

  • I did the Zip-a-dee-doo-dahh How do u do and Laughing place song at the School Aseembly morning song!

  • this ride is awesome. the last time my friends and i went on it, it broke down and we were about to go down the final hill, it was pretty cool.

  • Thos Fuzzy Animals make this ride kinnda creepy

  • eppp i luv that ride ive been on it a million times i luv it! its so fun!!

  • splash mountain is the best log ride,I love it. when me and my baby go(that if it's open)I will jus hold my baby waist.

  • even though i always freak out right before the big drop,i still love this ride!

  • can someone tell me at disneyland

    since 2004, have they changed the ride from today? cause after you see the bears butt i dont remember there being 2 drops in a row. and that freaked me out cause i think before there was only a little slope..

    right?

  • they did change it to more of a 'roller coaster-type' drop that now gets you a little more wet. the air-time is pretty cool on it now as well.

  • YESSS

    So iM NoT CRaZY!

  • you r right they changed it in 2004... i am also the biggest disney fan in the world, I LOVE DISNEYLAND I am going to go next weekend and i NEVER get BORED! I LOVE DISNEYLAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • me too, I'm a huge disney fan and I love Disneyland I'm goin next saturday. will you be there next saturday?

  • I know i love this ride too! especially when it drops in the dark- love that part! i'm goin next month:)

  • this ride is one of my many faves! i'm hopefully going again in september!! YAY! :D lol

  • mine 2!!!! i'm goin in December!!!!

  • i went in december last year! the christmas perade was amazing!

  • yeah i love it!!!!!!!!

  • The gator that closed its jaws to trap Brer Fox's tail in his mouth as Brer Bear comes to rescue him with big pulling force and hyperactivity was broken because for a possibility that the wiring was damaged and/or the shock absorbers/cables didn't work right.

  • hay ru42 help me out every time we go the lines are always long one time we waited in line to get to the haunted mansions line when is the best time to go

  • Well, basically Sept to May is the best time but dodge any holiday's in that range (especially Spring Break which is bad for 4 weeks or so.) - - RU

  • If anyone watch the movie Song of the South and rode this ride, they have learned a valubal lesson:

    No matter WHERE you go, HOME will always be your Laughing Place.

  • You got that right

  • what did I say? I just ask you, what did I say that upset people?

  • My dad and the Latin kids that I eat lunch with will be happy to come on to this ride that my Auntie Joy who is also my godmother loves for Grad Nite. Do NOT worry we'll put our stuff into some plastic bags so that way they won't get wet as we scream and go down inside the log. I'm taking my friends (Latin kids that I eat lunch with because I wanted to give them the conception of the characters/animals from the 1946 film, Song Of The South.

  • I'm going on this 1 again with my parents at night this summer because we got very wet last time in the day time when my dad's wallet went missing and got soaked. We'll cover them in plastic.

  • Sorry, I meant the daytime at 4:00 PM.

  • oh yeah im going again may 25 and i just went in march but we are leaving saturaday and coming back on memorial day

  • wow i love this ride i went with my best freind and it was so much fun

  • i love this ride!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I went on this ride at night oh my goodness I got soaked, I was cold watching fantasmic.

  • Lucky, I would love to ride this at night.

  • i've done it before while the fireworks were going on!! it was great!!

  • Man, loved this. I was on it in the very middle seat (or 3rd from front, something like that) and got nothing on me the whole time. Plus, at night, nobody was there, so we got to ride it 10 times straight =D

  • i love this ride at night

  • It is a good idea if you don't want to have wet clothes all day you should bring a second pair to change into after you go on the ride. You will get soaked on this ride so plan ahead.

  • eppp i luv that ride ive been on it a million times i luv it! its so fun!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • i was in the front the last time i was on the ride and i hardly got wet at all.. which was amazing cuz my dad was SOAKED!

  • Hey me too i went a while ago and i got barely wet in the front but my dad who was behind me got soaked...

  • everybody's got a laughin place! lol i need some advice...is this ride scary or fun? i've never been on it before so what do you think about it?

  • Well this ride is very fun, especially with all the animatronics, but sometimes there are sudden drops (in the dark especially) that will make your stomach go in your throat.. and at the end there is this huge 50 foot drop that feels WAYYY more steeper and longer than it does on the video. so yeah it's really fun but don't ride it if you're a scaredy cat, cuz it might be dangerous to your health LOL

  • oh and, there are no seatbelts, only handles, so it kinda feels... like you can fly off. heh XD

  • well the point of the lack of safety (well not really cuz your seat is pretty low and the sides of the log go up really high) is so you feel like the drop is steeper. like most disney rides, the only real ways you can get hurt is if the ride malfunctions (which is kinda rare) and you do something on your own free will (ie standing up)

  • in the log there is a little underhook in the floor that I always tuck my feet into cause I fell like im gonna fly out. haha

  • one time when i rode, i lifted out of the seat in the final plunge! it was scary, but fun!

  • Scary-Fun why dont u LAUGH while the ride???Makes ya Happy and feels u r in the LAUGHING PLACE!

  • Dude you are one of the best people at this I love all your videos they are amazing I even made sure to suscribe to your channel

  • did you use underwater housing to protect the camera or not?

  • No, but I did create a covering to protect the camera. - - RU

  • Did you get stuck at the Burrow's Lament and the Vulture part?

  • This is actually the music from the Florida version of the ride...the California version has an orchestra score. (I actually like the Florida music better though...it sounds more southern with the banjos and guitars)

    Anyway, Great Video A+++

  • okay so i wanna go on this but i dont wanna get completely soaked....where should i sit? haha

  • now no matter where you sit you get soaked

  • front row is the worst though,i sat there once,i was soaked. but usually,u can't choose where to sit

  • i sat in the back and i didnt get wet at all haha. maybe its cuz my boyfriend was like over me making sure i didnt get wet haha.

  • i love the very front!!! i sit up there all the time.

  • I go on this ride VERY often. Heres the "seating info":

    Very Front - Soaked, mostly hair and upper body

    Middle Front - upper body, some water in hair, but most water on pants and in shoes.

    Middle - Most water on legs and feet.

    Middle Back - Almost dry, but with some occasional water in your shoes and shoulders (from the splash and waves)

    Very Back - Dry.

    Hope that helps!

    Again I go on this ride every time I go to Disneyland, and I go about twice a month.

  • oh thats why i love the very front i try as often as i can when we go to get the front seat and i usually do because i'm the smallest.

  • wow, not much of a difference from this, and splash mt now, im glad it stayed the same, since i went a few months ago, and RU42, great videos of disneyland,

  • Can you ask them if you could sit in the very back?

  • Yes, ask nicely and most CMs will accommodate your request. - - RU

  • thank you, I wanted to ask when you are going back to Disneyland for a more recent splash mountain. That would be great

  • if you want to get really soaked, the middle is actually best. at least, based on personal experience.

  • oh ok thank you very much

  • LOVE this ride! It's a classic!

    Hey, when do you go to Disneyland to get virtually no lines?

  • Right before or right after summer. We go in April, May or sometimes in mid September. When we went in mid Jan. the line were also short.

  • Does anyone know if the soundtrack to this ride is availible anywhere?

  • might be my favorite ride but ive only been on one.... in Aneheim i want to go to WDW

  • LOL at Brer Bear shaking his butt when his nose landed in the beehive, sat on his butt as he laughed at the same time. So scary when Brer Fox tied Brer Rabbit up in rope.

  • WOW!!! The last time I went there (June 2007) I sat in the front... every inch of me got wet... It took me 3 hrs to get completely dry... later in the day, I bought some sourvernirs, and the cashier asked me "JUST COMING FROM SPLASH MOUNTAIN??" because my money was all wet (Well... my whole wallet got wet)... I just love this ride...

  • can you do this ride again, bc they redone it, well, a little, bc i went on it

  • the logs are different and only one seat is for double sitting.

  • which ride was built first- wdw or dl's?

  • Disneyland version was built first. It was built in 1989. The WDW version opened in 1992.

  • dls dude disneyland was built actually first so duy

  • This Splash Mountain in Disneyland seems quite a bit different than the one in WDW. I have only ridden the one in Florida. However, this version seems better.

  • i don't think you can go to disneyland and NOT ride this. i usually go in december and ride it at night, but i love this ride!

  • omigosh i love disneyland u jus feel like a kid no matter how old u are its fantastic

    peace

    Callie

  • I KNOW THE SECRET OF NOT SCREAMING DURING THE WATERFALL. You lean your head forward into the seat in front of you...unless you like to scream. I do on occasion. Makes rides funner!

  • I think I saw some ghost orbs!!!
