In the second part of our Splash Mountain series, we look into what is unique amongst each version of Splash across the many parks and how Imagineers were able to blend it into two separate lands. Of course, we cannot talk about Splash without talking about the future retheme coming its way and we discuss some of the most common pros/cons that we have seen for it. This wouldn’t be complete without putting on our amateur imagineering hats and coming up with some ideas for what this retheme might look like before we ultimately say goodbye to what is one of our favorite rides.

After covering Song of the South, we begin to examine the history of Splash Mountain from concept to finished ride. What led to its creation? Why is it tied to Song of the South? What does it have to do with the movie Splash starring Tom Hanks? All this and more we cover in the first of our two part series celebrating Splash Mountain.

With news that Splash Mountain will be rethemed based off of Princess and the Frog, Clayton and I wanted to go over the history of Splash Mountain from inception to its final closure to celebrate its 30+ year run as a crowd favorite. We wanted to start this history by appropriately covering the history of Song of the South, to get a better understanding of what is driving the retheming. Song of the South, which the ride is loosely based on, was released 75 years ago was widely celebrated for its blending of live action and color animation but also widely criticized for its depiction of African Americans. We discuss the background of the movie, Walt Disney’s love for it, the criticism it received and it’s difficult legacy.

Now that the original hype for the Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser (otherwise referred to as the Star Wars Hotel) has died down, figure this is the best time to dedicate an entire episode to it! Clayton and I discuss everything from the drama/controversy behind its opening, what’s included, strengths and weaknesses, whether we’re interested in this kind of experience, and finally we put on our Imagineering caps to propose our ideas on improving the Starcruiser.  Don’t worry! This episode is SPOILER FREE!
