[Travel] Goodbye Splash Mountain

[Giraffe]

Yesterday was the last ever run for this ride at the Magic Kindom in Disney World Florida before it is "re-imagined". A blow for those Disney lovers who love the nostalgic feel of it but I guess everything has to evolve. I pray Thunder Mountain doesn't go the same way.

Sad times.

Sad news. Last time I rode it, it was a terribly stormy day there (had a tornado warning pinged to our phones during our visit!) and when we finished the final plummet, there was some sort of issue holding up our raft, and we made incredibly slow progress, while it ABSOLUTELY hammered down. We started laughing at how awful it was and kept urging the raft to speed up (it even stopped a few times).

I hope Soarin’ at Epcot never goes the same way. It’s incredible.

No reason for Big Thunder to go the same way I don't think. Splash was based on the very very dubious Song of the South and it was time for it to go. Still one of my favourite rides there though. Hopefully the Tiana version will be as good - it'll be the same basic ride anyway.

As above, I'm sure it will essentially be the same ride but with a different theme.

I always liked Maelstrom in Epcot but, if I'm honest, I prefer it as Frozen Ever After.

Twilight Zone Tower of Terror is my favourite ride in all of the Orlando parks (although I may just favour GotG: Cosmic Rewind now). On the other coast at Disneyland, they "re-imagined" ToT as a Guardians of the Galaxy ride. I was sceptical ahead of my first ride there, but it's absolutely fantastic.

It's almost as if Disney's imagineers know what they're doing!

There’s one at Tokyo Disneyland if you really want your log flume ride with racist undertones fix.

Nearly all the Disney/Universal rides are tame compared with those at Six Flags Magic Mountain

That ride is mad. My legs were still wobbling 10 minutes later.
