Grand Opening of Splash Mountain 

And...here we are in the present day when the ride is getting rethemed

Splash Mountain will ever be missed Best ride at every Disney park

Happy times. Before agendas. It makes me kinda cry because we can never go back to this again. It's like we were punished, as if we did something.

I’m the one in the bear costume turning on the water for the mountain. What a memorable experience!

I’ll miss it’s song of the south theme so much 😢

The hapiness and joy in this video is heartwarming. This was America, a true tribute to the old south.

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

Dedicated in Memory of #SplashMountain in Disneyland (1989-2023) & Magic Kingdom (1992-2023) 💐...

That’s how you open a ride. Splash mountain will truly be missed, and it saddens me how unceremoniously they’re shoving it aside…

RIP splash mountain you will forever be in our hearts

Came here to pay my respects..RIP Splash Mountain

RIP of Splash Mountain 1992-2023

This is so incredibly epic! They don’t do ride openings like this anymore 😢

Happy 31st anniversary, Splash Mountain. 🐰🦊🐻

"WE'S LEAVIN!"

brer bear is a hero

Disney has lived its best days

Disneyworld won't be the same without splash mountain. Thanks for the wonderful childhood memories splash mountain....😞😣

You did it, Br'er Bear! You fixed Splash Mountain!

Good bye old friend

I am the black guy with the yellow shirt. That was such a fun day.

Watching this the day after Splash Closed forever at Magic Kingdom. RIP Splash

Rest In Peace Splash Mountain 😑😭🌊⛰🏞🐻🦊🐰🪵

Save Splash Mountain! Save Splash Mountain! Save Splash Mountain! Save Splash Mountain!

This is amazing! I especially loved the "Zip-a-dee-doo-dah" sequence. Now, if only Brer Rabbit had more lines...

A better time. I still feel like I was born too late in this world.

R.I.P. Splash Mountain forever in our hearts 💕 ♥ ❤ 💖 💓 💙 thank you, Walt Disney World.

So long, partner. 1992-2023

Super sad to hear it's closing. I have that ride in my heart given that I have it tied with a memories of my mom and us kids riding that log. She was always super happy to see the animals singing that happy tune.

Wow, they really went all out for this opening

I love this ride!

I’m going to miss splash mountain!!! 😢

90s Disney seemed so much better!

12 years later it's saying goodbye... We will miss you splash mountain..

someone was drunk

If I could go back to any moment in time, it would be this, just to bring back our beloved Splash Mountain ride at Magic Kingdom, with the Song of the South characters we know and love, instead of the far inferior Princess and the Frog ones.

Thank you for the memories splash mountain. You will be missed!

By the way guys this was at Disney World. I've searched for the Disneyland one but there isn't one but I bet they did the same thing at Disneyland CA.

RIP Splash mountain..

I WISH I COULD'VE BEEN THERE....BUT I WAS JUST A STAR IN THE SKY!!! O.O

#savesplashmountain

Just came here to say Rest In Peace splash mountain you will be my brother’s favorite ride in Disney land but I respect this ride although I never ride it ☹️

This is so incredible to watch! It makes me happy! I have to laugh, because this was Jess Harnell's first voice acting job. It's so weird to think that that was 22 years ago!! Thanks for sharing with us!

It makes me sad :( it was such an iconic ride. The grand opening was so special and just because of misguided beliefs that the story behind the ride has a rascist undertone, they destroyed it. I’m glad Tokyo Disney is holding on to their Splash mountain

Happy 30th anniversary!🎊🎉

So crazy how this park has changed. The performers were always amazing! They do such minimal now it's heartbreaking what's happened to the brand

R.I.P. Splash Mountain! 💜

Farewell Splash Mountain. Thank you for the memories.

@MermaidJassica - Brer Rabbit, Brer Fox, and Brer Bear are all from Walt Disney's 1946 film "Song of the South."

100% pure Disney cheesiness... But people love it!

I can’t believe this ride will be gone!

Who knew this ride had such a great opening.

I can't believe that first I went to Disney in Jan 1993, Splash Mountain was only 1 year old!

This whole ceremony is a fever dream

This hits different now.

RIP Splash Mountain

Amazing grand opening, not like in the actual times that they just open and you need to get to a virtual queue to get on the ride

I'm a current CM at Splash Mountain and the amount of safety violations in this video makes me cringe

And then this ride got cancelled by Twitter and now it's gonna be a lame Princess and the Frog ride lmao

One does not simply add water to splash mountain lol

How Sad that This Amazing Ride Closed Off for Good after that Big Grand Opening in 1992 and Then it got a Retheming into the Princess and the Frog. Splash Mountain was such a Huge Hit ever since it Opened at the Disney Parks. R.I.P. Splash Mountain (1992-2023) 💦⛰🐰🦊🐻

Happy 20th Birthday Splash Mountain!!

Here on the last day. Farewell, Splash Mountain.

Thanks for the memories Splash Mountain!

Farewell Splash Mountain 😑😭🌊⛰🏞🐻🦊🐰🪵

Disneyland opening ceremonies are always great big events.

👋Goodbye Splash Mountain we will miss you 😔😔❤❤ 1/23/23😪😪

That was amazing 😁😁😁

Another classic ride destroyed by Disney. It will be missed.

I will be so happy and crying in tears if they brihg back and do this show

And now It's over

It’s a sad day !!! Closed forever

Splash Mountain is great!　However, some morons are against it...

Taking it out is a tragedy, priceless childhood memories. Thank you Disney wokeness

I wonder who was the very first person to sit on the log and ride the ride

Gone because splash mountain terrified and offended people? Great times we are living in.

I miss these times.

@disneybelle You can get a bootleg DVD of "Song of the South" easily. Just Google "song of the south DVD" and some choices should pop up. I've had my copy for years and the quality is quite good for a bootleg. Prices average about $20.00.

Awe I love this 😭♥️

Hard to believe this is nearly 30 years old 😬

Just look at that truly spectacular opening, I highly doubt anything like this will happen for it's lackluster replacement At most they'll just get some celebrity to sing a slow depressing song, but I doubt even that much

Back when Disney was actually being Disney and not woke.

The fact they showed different clips of the drop shows how scary and intense the drop actually is. 🤣🤣

Best ride at that park..will never go to Frontierland again ;my favorite ride

I think I'm gonna cry

Best Disney attraction ever.

They need to make a celebration like this for closing day

This really is the most splashtacular place in the whole world and I want them to keep it forever Disney’s splash mountain is so unforgettable and the best attraction based on song of the south and I love how the landmark of it is that’s what makes it so unique to Frontierland so I wish it could keep inspiring people like me and other Disney fans from all over the world who all come to the most magical place on earth it’s the best and the most memorable place in the world keep it magical ✨ 🥹 🌈 🙏🏻

*disclaimer* i talk about my opinions as well as stated facts in this comment. if you're part of the easily offended, please do not attack me for my opinions. simply respect them. thank you. keep splash mountain in florida, give tiana a whole LAND in circus land if that makes you happy. just don't touch this iconic, charming, fun-filled ride. in disneyland however, i can see it fitting in next to splash mountain (rethemed to a dark ride not a boat ride) where new orleans square is. 90k wants the ride saved.while 20k wants it rethemed.(according to the petitions) look at the facts disney, if you get rid of it you'll most likely loose a majority of your fans/ customers (including me). although people argue about the ride having "racist" undertones to its backstory...i disagree. the tales of brer rabbit in the disney film, "song of the south" (1946) includes an ex-slave from after the civil war who accompanies a little boy and tells him stories and teaches him valuable life lessons through the tales of br'er rabbit. the film is nothing more than a man telling stories to a child, *thats it* on top of this, the film's based on the brer rabbit stories which were themselves based on the African folklore that slaves brought with them to america. i feel as if removing, censoring, and disregarding these stories, this ride, this film, would be an insult to the african americans who told these stories at the time, as well as those who celebrate these stories as tradition. we should keep the ride, the film, the stories ALIVE as a part of history. my question to the woke mob, is why would changing a disney ride make you feel better? a ride that is completely original and unproblamatic. a ride that features the same stories which uncle remus from song of the south tells to the little boy. *if you believe the ride is racist because of it being based off a racist film, and not because the ride has any racist undertones to it; why not try to cancel the movie and not the ride?* as for splash mountain, i myself think it will stay. as theres only been one piece of information and concept art about the new retheme. usually when disney announces rethemes or new large projects (ex. fantasylands add-on, tron, pandora, etc.) they provide their audience with as much information and concept art as possible. in this case, disney hasn't announced anything about the splash mountain retheme since june of last year. this leads me to assume that "home sweet home is the lesson today" as brer rabbit would say.i really do hope for the best with splash mountain and its retheme to be canceled. its crazy to think that nowadays everything is now racist and offensive and *has* to be canceled. thank you for reading my comment and respecting my opinions. hope you all have a "zip-a-dee-doo-dah" day! stay safe and hydrated

All good times must come to an end. Goodbye splash

At 0:11, that man looks like Sir Topham Hat( from ''Thomas and Friends' series).

When they loved the best ride

I don’t want to go back to Disney ever! #SAVESPLASHMOUNTAIN
