I will miss "Zipadee Doo Dah" the most. SO many fun family memories on this ride. It's our very favorite to go on!

I was there a week ago for D23 expo and rode splash mountain 6 times in the front row. Truly one of the best Disney rides of all time, it may soon be gone but it will never be forgotten.

Amen. There is nothing awful about the story of this ride or what it depicts. It comes from a movie about slavery which historically did happen. We should learn from history not hide it

Thank you Chris for reminding us how valuable we are. There are days that you and Amanda and Miles make me feel like I'm visiting friends, my world drops away, just as Walt Disney intended.... I KNOW Walt would be proud of you guys and I feel him thanking you all the time. You are all special to so many, please don't ever change.

Apparently, the Song of the South is not considered inappropriate in Europe. Next time you are in Disneyland Paris, you might be able to obtain a DVD. I suggest you watch it and decide for yourself.

I was I can say is thank you to Chris. I’m currently going through a very rough time with my health and his kind words mean the world to me when I am so alone.

One fact you left out was the song "Zip a Dee Doo Dah' won an Academy Award for the best song in a movie!!! I will miss Splash Mountain!

Just want to say that I appreciate you actually taking the time to address us as the audience (13:41) and letting us know how loved we are and how much PPP does love their viewers. You putting in the effort shows just how much heart goes into the content you all make, and really does set you apart from other content creators. Your efforts do not go unseen, and I/we love what your doing! Keep it up, and thank you!!

Never would have guessed that the entire ride is made out of concrete! That is amazing! The wood really does look like wood. Great video!

R.I.P Splash Mountain (1989 - 2023)

My association with this ride is not the movie at all. As a child, my father read the Uncle Remus Stories to me and did all the accents and different voices of the animals and he was hilarious! We had the best time laughing together. I’m not even sure I’ve ever seen the movie. I took my parents to DW about 5 years ago and rode Splash with my father and it was the best and most memorable time I’ve ever ridden it. He is now 74 years old and will most likely never get to visit DW again and he loves to go as much as I do! I’m so glad I got to ride it with him one last time. I’m sad to see the ride go and will always cherish the memories I’ve shared with my fathers there. Thanks for taking the time to make this video guys!

Hey Chris, it was great to meet you at D23! 👋🏻

I've always been excited about the re-theme but hearing the "how do you do" makes me realize how much I'm going to miss that music. The instrumental just screams Disneyland to me. But I can't wait to see how it will all turn out! Chris is right, I believe in Disney too!

Thank you for making this video. Thank you for honoring this ride before it is gone forever. It is in my top 3 rides, I last rode it in 2003 and won't be able to ride it again before it's gone. I am going to miss it. R.I.P. Splash Mountain. 😢

Loved this secrets revealed! Here's an idea, maybe do a Splash Mountain challenge (on a hot day of course!) like your churro or macaroon challenge. As a farewell to the old but welcoming the new theme!

Thanks for letting me be a part of this one, Chris! Always appreciate our time together!

I hope they do a full 3d scan of the whole ride so it will be possible to do a VR ride after the refresh.

Chris Thanks for all your kind and uplifting words and comments. You are one in a million!

I want to thank you Chris for documenting this iconic ride while we still have it. No, I'm not happy about the rebranding mostly because I grew up with it just the way it is,, and that kind of feels like I'm losing a part of my childhood and child/adulthood. I do understand it though I think we should stop trying to erase our past, our history because we are doomed to repeat it if we do. I do understand that at amusement parks it is out of place. I never even associated that ride with Song of the South I don't even remember seeing it. But I do remember the story of the Brier rabbit. I so love your videos they mean the world to me but most of the time they bring me to tears cause I miss Disneyland so much and the way things used to be so joyful and not so politically infused.... I am grateful that I'm older. Thank you once again your videos are just amazing...

First off, I love the ride, have been on it many times in both CA and FL. i also saw Song of the South with my dad when I was 12. I liked it, but it wasn't my favorite Disney film by far. Fast forward a few years to me being a teenager learning American History. While SOTS is not about slavery, it is set during Reconstruction, an equally difficult time for African Americans. When Disney made the decision not to release it anymore, I got it. The movie was controversial from day one, with protests during its premier in the 40s through the later re-releases. Fast forward again MANY years to now...I'm 63, married to a Black man with biracial children and grandchildren, and yes, it's time to retire the theme. Thank you Chris for addressing it intelligently and sensitively. Like you, I trust Disney - they started discussing the change years ago. Those who are angry and don't get it, never will. Looking forward to TBA!! (sorry Amanda!)

The music is what makes Splash Mountain such a happy experience (in addition to getting splashed!). I will miss the music. Knowing Disney, the rethemed version will be fantastic too.

Love your videos, mate. On Splash Mountain: "AAAH GIANT GEESE!" - having been on Splash Mountain in Disneyland for the first time this year that's my main memory - I'd completely forgotten how big those animatronics are close up since I last went on Disney World's version lol.

What?! This is my favorite ride and i never noticed br’er fox’s house up on the cliff!

I have been waiting for this video! I was there that day and got a picture with Chris and Professor Andrew in the morning. He said what you were doing that day but I didn't get to go back and see the fun. Thanks for taking a minute to stop and take a picture!

Can we just appreciate that perfect timing with the drop in the background 👏👏👏👏

Oh my goodness my mind is blown!!! 🤯 I didn't know there was an Ernest goes to Splash Mountain movie! I gotta find it. It reminds me of a very fond memory with my mom. This had to be early 90s. The ride was shut down but the logs were still running although empty. Except for one. One log had a dummy of Ernest! Ha! My mom and I laughed and laughed! We waited to see Ernest ride it over and over again 😂😂😂

Thank you Chris! You did a wonderful job on a beloved ride of mine. How many times did you ride SM for this show?

Aside from losing a much beloved ride, even sadder is losing a ride based on a true African-American folktale. The author, Joel Chandler Harris, was the illegitimate son of an Irish immigrant born in 1848. He went to work (and live) as an apprentice for a newspaper owner (who owned a plantation). As a 14 year old boy, he spent hours in the evening in the slave quarters listening to the language and inflections of Uncle George Terrell and Old Harbert who would tell tales to the children. These men became his role models as well as the models for Uncle Remus. Just facts I thought you all might want to know.

Unfortunately, Mr. Harris basically exploited those stories to make money off of those who originally share the stories with him. I am sure that he did not share any of his revenue from his book with them.

Loved the video Chris! I saw you after I rode that day. Looks like you had the same fun I did in the front row. That drop into the laughingplace is what literally got me drenched. You’re description is literally how I looked and felt after riding. It was great!

I'm still loving those warm fuzzy messages. Thanks Chris.

And this is where I come in! As a person of color as you can see from my profile picture I want to give my personal opinion about how I feel about all of this. I found about the retheme announcement in September 2020 a few months after I graduated from high school and it absolutely broke my heart, it was the worst news I had ever gotten in my entire life….Splash Mountain was one of my very first Disney attractions when I went to Walt Disney world in July/August of 2015 for the very first time…I actually watched song of the South a year prior for the very first time and I had no idea it existed until I found on KZread in 2014. I would also like to say based on experience not all black people are offended by song of the south…and from experience I’ve seen online to those who are haven’t in seen the movie before and just want to find an advise to be offended and to those who are offended by the movie and the ride why not simply go some place else and let the fans of the movie and ride have what they want? If the Disney community can be diverse in different fandoms then so can fans of song of the south…Valarie Stewart who is on KZread just so happens to be the daughter of Nick Stewart who was Brer Bear in the movie, she’s my grandmother and I don’t like what Disney is doing to the her father’s legacy trying to erase all existence of song of the south while we fans are left with absolutely nothing but memories…what Disney is doing erasing actual black history for a fictional black princess who has done nothing for the black community and is using George Floyd as an excuse to do what their doing, I strongly disapprove of this and many other people against this retheme from what I’ve experienced and seen online for the past 2 years this is just Disney’s excuse in trying to get rid of song of the south even to a greater degree…I can’t speak for all black people but I will say there are those who have been m heavily misinformed and don’t even know the magnitude of what’s being done because of that misinformation. This is outrageous.

FYI you know people of color only claim it be quote on quote “offended” only because they’ve never seen it right and they don’t know where to watch it? Their using their blackness as an advantage to be offended by something they’ve never seen that pertains to them as black people, black people don’t know the harm their doing and it’s sad. So don’t even go there…

I have sum funny Splash Mountain stories when I was 7 I went on this ride for the first time and when we were approaching the final drop I was terrified and I was crying but I made it out alive! 3 years later I was 10 and I had overcome my fear of Splash Mountain and we rode it and I was in the front row and when we went down the laughing place drop I got absolutely drenched and it was so bad I had to change my t shirt and luckily we had bought a haunted mansion shirt earlier for me. It’s such a shame that they’re retheming it out of pure ignorance. RIP Splash Mountain 1989-2023 😭🪦🌹🐰🦊🐻🌊

Another great video. I have 2 observations. The first one may have been covered by someone else in the comments (I did not check all of them) There is a 4th song. After the laughing place, the rabbits lament about Brier Rabbit. My wife and I always think it is funny that the song says "The rabbit is facing certain death!" You caught this in your video. Second, the drop into the laughing place is a tunnel right under Brier Bear's rear end. We call it the "Butt hole". Yeah, I'm like eight years old, but I laugh every time.

Whatever they do with the retheme, all I want is it to be more splash and less soak. The good ole days it was splash but something changed and it’s now soak mountain. I’d love to see the double sided log like at WDW but I’m sure it’s not wide enough for that.

Hi Chris. If they called the ride Mardi Gras Mountain then the short version would be MGM. Keep having fun and on to the next Adventure.
