The Oriental Land Company has a good policy on maintaining all the rides. Everything in Japan Disney is well maintained. That also means it’s rare to go when everything is open as there’s almost always something closed for maintenance

Was lucky enough to ride this version over the past week and my gosh what a huge difference working effects and animatronics makes in overall ride experience! Always thought the one in Magic Kingdom was just alright outside of the drop. However Tokyo version was truly a joy to ride from beginning to end!

You just made my day! How I miss SM here in Anaheim! Biggest mistake ever taking it away! But thank you so much for this. BBear, BFox, BRabitt and Zippiiteya DooDa are still beloved and so missed here! 💚🧡💙🧡💚💙🧡

I'm so happy Tokyo is keeping their Splash Mountain! Hope they keep it for many more years!

There's one animatronic missing. There's supposed to be a dog with a comically deep voice on the boat at 5:19. It was also missing when I went on it, but it took me a second ridethrough to notice. It's a really good thing they would rather have everything inside working perfectly rather than having one broken element visible

If this were in Florida they'd just have a dozen CMs sitting on the sides just firehosing you down.

Dang, I grew up going to the American parks and I NEVER saw Splash looking as good as this does. All the animatronics and effects are working, and they're working WELL. I don't think I ever saw so much movement from Brer Fox! Thanks Oriental Land Co, for allocating a decent budget for upkeep and maintenance. This is what the American versions should have been to the very end.

I think the perfect Splash would be Tokyo’s queue, detail and maintenance standards with WDWs layout and scene arrangement.

I was just there. I had my vintage Br’er rabbit plush I bought from eBay in 2020. No more Splash Mountain merch they can keep the ride but can’t sell merch or have the characters out unfortunately but at least the ride will stay. Cast members and guests both last year and this year fawned over the plush. I always got row 1. Splash Mountain and Usagidon (Br’er Rabbit) is treasured it’s not just something on a hot day in Japan. Love Tokyo Disney and thank you Oriental Land Company for continuing to stand up to the pressure of the Walt Disney Company to change the ride!

@@KnottsBear-yTalesPreserved Yeah Disney cracked down on use of the Br'er characters outside the ride (merchandise, character meet and greets, even the music), because they are trying to pressure the OLC into retheming their Splash.

Tony Baxter was a genius! This is a masterpiece of an attraction complete with a masterful storyline, lovable protagonist, clumsy antagonist and a wonderful supporting cast of characters. This is a mini movie with a beginning, middle and end. Even with the A1000 animatronics, Tiana’s Bayou Adventure cannot and will not ever hold a candle to this classic. Kudos to Tokyo for not giving in to the whims of a few lunatics with an agenda!!! This move has definitely convinced us to visit Tokyo Disneyland and soon.

@dvc1190

TBF, the normal version of Tokyo’s Splash Mountain is the least wet version (i.e. lamest version) of all, even before the Tiana retheme.

This is a significantly better attraction that Tiana’s. 2 reasons. Number 1, the music is just miles better. Is there some nostalgia, of course, but the music right after the drop at 10:44 simply cannot be touched in any capacity by Tiana’s. Second, there is fear generated in this ride. Kids may complain about being scared, but at the end of the day, they all want to feel a sense of accomplishment once they pass the “rite of passage” of splash mountain. The buildup to the drop where you genuinely feel fear is just not there at all in Tiana’s. Splash mountain is also just an iconic and better name for the ride. It’s so iconic that people would consistently call other flume rides around the world “splash mountain”. Heck, when I was typing that my phone autofilled “mountain” after splash. This was a mistake by Disney’s part. No one thought the ride was racist. Not a single person but Disney themselves.

So sad that wasn't there. I went last week of June.

That looks refreshing!

You're going up a 50 foot hill but with no story to back it up. You've already turned big by this point and Mamma Odi uses the drop as a portal to "get you to the party quick". No malfunction, no encounter with Facelia trying to stop you with Odi trying to rescue you. You've got an OK version of Dig a Little Deeper playing, but it's no longer got that suspense. I think it'd be better if Odi used the drop as a portal to get you out of Facelia's clutches.

This is the thing, Why did we not just get... new animatronics to replace the old ones? This ride was perfectly fine and they could've easily just... I don't know redone these characters to a new cartoon or something.

Why is Song of South, the first movie with a black actor and main character banned for racism and yet Gone of the Wind isn’t? Gone of the wind glorified the old south and slavery. It has a white female character has the main character and is filled with a lot of bad negative stereotypes.
