 Splash
Mountain is now one of Disney's classic theme park rides,
and is present in all of the Magic-Kingdom style parks with
the exception of Disneyland Paris.
During the ride, which starts sedately enough,
guests follow the antics of Brer Rabbit on a hair-raising
flume adventure with the steepest, highest, wettest drop ever!
(Ok so this is only really in the context of the Tokyo Park).
A hidden camera inside the mountain just after
the point where the ride-log starts to plunge into the Briar
Patch takes pictures of every guest on the ride, with prints
being available for purchase shortly after the ride finishes
at the Splashdown
Photos booth.
Overall it's an excellent attraction, and one that
guests really should try to ride, despite the fact that contrary
to the advertising it's not the steepest, highest or wettest
drop flume around, it's certainly the steepest, wettest and
longest in the Tokyo theme park.
