On Splash Mountain, Gotta Be Movin’ On

Say goodbye to Br’er Rabbit; he’s leaving his home in search of a little more adventure, a bit of fortune and his laughing place—where he can live the life that suits him best.

Watch as he outwits Br’er Bear and Br’er Fox, escapes their clutches and slips out of sticky situations. Plummet into dark caves and tumble over gentle waterfalls… until Br’er Rabbit’s taunting catches up to him—and he’s finally caught!

From the confines of Br’er Fox’s cave at the top of Chickapin Hill on Splash Mountain, Br’er Rabbit tricks Br’er Bear and Br’er Fox one more time. Don’t throw me down, down, down into the briar-brimmed pond, he pleads. Anyplace but there!

Of course, this is exactly what they do. Follow him as he plummets over the mountain peak on a 5-story (52.5 feet) fall that ends in a massive splashdown into the refreshing pond: Br’er Rabbit’s home, his laughing place.

After this ultimate plunge, drift past more southern critters aboard a lively Mississippi riverboat. Sing along with them, for it’s a zip-a-dee-doo-dah day! Everyone has a Laughing Place—maybe Splash Mountain is yours.

The Backstory

The wise Br’er Frog has a premonition: if Br’er Rabbit leaves his comfortable briar-patch home on Splash Mountain—protected by the prickly plants and dense, thorny vines—he’ll be caught by Br’er Bear and Br’er Fox for sure!

Br’er Frog’s words don’t stop Br’er Rabbit from movin’ on. Join him on his journey around and through Splash Mountain.

Will You Get Wet?

The twists, turns and 3 dips that lead to the grand drop down 5 stories of rushing water will either get you damp or drenched. If soaked is your goal, request a seat in the front or sit on the right side of the hollowed-out log.

Other Disney Mountains

One of 3 Magic Kingdom “mountain” attractions, Splash Mountain shares its big thrill classification with Space Mountain and its location in the Frontierland area with the mild but wild Big Thunder Mountain Railroad.

In the midst of landscape designed to resemble Monument Valley, Utah,sits the 197′ butte that is the centerpiece of the Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. Set during the gold rush days in the flooded mine town of Tumbleweed, this runaway mine car roller coaster features 20 Audio-animatronic figures including donkeys, chickens, possums, and the rainmaker himself, Professor Cumulus Isobar.





The authenticity is evident in the antique mining equipment found around the attraction and the smell of sulfur as you pass the phosphorescent pools and see the red eyes of the cave’s inhabitants as they watch you pass. Riders will also encounter falling rocks and an earthquake. The ride is geared more towards adults and teens and a height restriction of 40″ is in effect. Parents may use the “switching off” option. Just under 4 minutes in length, riders will find themselves tossed side to side in the car.

Thrill seekers will prefer riding in the back of the train as it is more exciting than in the front. You really have to pay attention or you may miss the great scenery and attention paid to detail like the skeleton of the dinosaur built into the mountain. This is one of the Magic Kingdom’s major attractions and lineups can be quite lengthy.

Thunder Mountain Tip: Ride during parades, daytime or night time, as the lineups are usually shorter then.

Queues wind through an old windowless clapboard building and the heat can be quite stifling during the hot summer months.

Thunder Mountain Tip: A mister fan can come in handy while waiting in line on a hot day.

Riding at night gives you a whole new experience as you fly by the twinkling lights of the Magic Kingdom. Wheelchair guests must be able to transfer from their wheelchairs into the train in order to ride.

*Fast Pass is offered at Big Thunder Mountain Railroad.
