Splash Mountain Ride-Through - June 1992 - 8mm Video 

I’m literally sobbing in tears that they destroyed this masterpiece.

I still genuinely think this was one of the best, if not the best, ride they ever made. They just don’t make them like this anymore. If they did, I’d still be excited for the future of WDW.

Sigh. Splash was just an absolute chef's kiss of imagineering. Something Tiana will simply never top

This is incredible!! Seeing everything work so well makes me so happy. They NEVER should’ve replaced it. ❤

Even when it went into disrepair it was still one of the top tide in all of DisneyWorld. It truly is sad they last it go. The nostalgia it had will never be replaced.

4:43 So flawless and fluid

Nice to see the “Million Dollar Rabbit” working at his full potential back in the day. Even got the FSU shout out in the vid. I have some home videos from this year as well, but not nearly as good quality as this. This is how Splash Mountain should be remembered, with everything functioning properly. Thanks for sharing.

Best Disney attraction ever. Rest in peace.

I already miss Splash Mountain

In my opinion, Disney have never and will never be able to top this. What a shame that small people with big voices and brainless cowardly Disney management had to ruin this absolute jewel of a ride

If only they’d kept one Splash Mountain in America. Preferably WDW.

thankfully the one in Tokyo still operates just as well as this one did in 1992

first rode this one year later in July 1993 and it's been a family favorite ever since. will miss it

They're tearing down the culture.

An amazing attraction! Look at this in its prime! It will be missed

golden age

Fantastic recording! Love to see it as it was intended to function.

absolutely beautiful

I miss it so much!

Rode this thing three times in one day. Was a blast. I'm a sicko for log rides. A dying breed.

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

October 1992 January 2023 we will miss Splash Mountain forever RIP😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

5:53 I’ve never heard that second part of Br’er Bear’s dialogue before!

The ride used to be so much more fluid!

Iger and D’Amaro both need to be fired for both killing the best ride TWDC ever created and for being so grudging with expansion; with the exception of Tron, every new attraction has been at the expense of something else.

I loved all the detail everywhere you looked.

After seeing Tiana’s, this is eyebleach.

Even though it is gone I will still have a zip ahh dee don dah day.

Thank you for posting this.

I still wish I was at WDW in 1992 and riding Splash Mountain.

Riding Splash Mountain was the happiest place on earth

I never knew that they changed the location of Brer Frog at the beginning of the ride at some point. Here he's shown sitting on a stump. Before it closed he had this wooden box thing he was in as you go up the first lift.

Thanks so much for sharing this! Was this a cast member preview? I’d assume so if this is from June 1992 as Splash Mountain didn’t officially open until months later in October.

So beautiful

We need to keep this video at all cost from Disney so we can still remember splash mountain was in magic kingdom I hated that they replaced it they never should’ve done that it literally looks like something you would see in the dollar store now.

Luckily Tokyo still has this ride and honestly, it won’t be taken down.

Time traveling 💖

Rip Splash Mountain 😭🌊⛰🏞🐻🦊🐰🪵

Farewell Splash Mountain...

Wow the bunny looks so smooth! Like who would know his ears used to move?!

This ride was like a cartoon come to life.

I just realized the frog at the beginning of the ride moved up a little bit, which is weird

Farewell Splash Mountain 😭🌊⛰🏞🐻🦊🐰🪵

An effect that I noticed here, and in early footage of Disneyland’s, is a layer of mist covering the tunnel under the briar patch, effectively blocking it from view during the descent. When was this removed? I’m assuming it was pre-August 2011 because that was when I first rode and I don’t remember if the effect was in use.

Splash Mountain Are Closing 😭🌊⛰🐰🦊🐻🪵

Tokyo Disneyland should get a hold of the English tracks and run it in English on special occasions. As a memorial.

Wait.. June!?? Was this during the soft opening, cast member previews, or what? I’m genuinely curious!

The realistic rock formations juxtaposed with animatronics, story, and music felt like you were going on an actual adventure. The new ride vomits pink and purple all over everything and feels like you're going to all-girls preschool.

Defunct Splash Mountain 😭🌊⛰🐻🦊🐰🪵

No load station gate. Just a different time.

Them closing this down for no reason other than sticking to an agenda was my last straw. To hell with Disney, I'll stick to Tokyo from now on. I'm just glad I rode both Splashes in the US.

Was this during soft opening?

I just hope people refuse to ride it. It was disgraceful to remove a beautiful and popular ride with this monstrosity they created now and no story to it. I just watch the POV of the entire ride and it had much fewer animatronics and it's dark inside and loud. Disney better get it's sh*t together and start listening to what the people want. We are the ones spending money on tickets and souvenirs, and if you keep taking away and changing what we love.....Universal is going to take over and Disney will end up an abandoned amusement park.

If you were to compare this video to another taken from recent years you can see how much the animatronics had degraded over the years These animatronics were getting harder and harder to maintain as they kept breaking down due to age and being less advanced And while I will miss this ride it’s probably for the best and it’s not uncommon for Disney to replace attentions with new ones Although it would have been cool to see splash mountain with updated animatronics and what not

Im really sad that this is the only way my kids can experience this ride from my childhood. Thanks Disney, thanks Cancel Culture. You guys suck.

I was getting a Roger Rabbit vibe at 7:44.

Japan kept it for us, to preserve it. Luckily.

Splash Mountain wasn’t open in June 1992

2:38 3:37
