Splash Mountain is closing permanently at Walt Disney World after today January 22, 2023. A log flume ride that was beloved by fans is being closed forever to be rethemed into Tiana's Bayou Adventure. Splash Mountain was one of my favorite dark rides and I'm genuinely sad that it is closing. I wish that it would stay open but there's nothing I can do about it. The ride featured the characters Brer Rabbit, Brer Fox, and Brer Bear in comical ways with a scary climax leading to the signature final drop that guests saw as they walked by the attraction. These are my memories and thoughts about Splash Mountain on this historic day in Disney Parks history.   

What was your favorite scene or memory from riding Splash Mountain? Let me know in the Q&A below (Spotify only).

These are my experiences and thoughts from going to DCA when I was in elementary school and what I think about the changes that have been made to DCA since then. I went to Disney's California Adventure growing up around 2004 to 2007. 

I'd love to hear in the comments below your thoughts on early DCA.

In this podcast I give my thoughts on changes I would make at Six Flags St. Louis to improve it and make it a better amusement park and theme park. Six Flags St Louis is my home park so I have been there quite a few times. Many of these changes apply to Six Flags amusement parks in general as well.

Big Thunder Mountain Railroad has been loved by family's since it was built in 1979 at Disneyland. Many other coasters have come and gone since then, so why has this roller coaster been so successful? In this video I give my opinion of why Big Thunder Mountain Railroad has been such a success for the Disney parks.
