Pros: exhilarating, refreshing, classic
Cons: long lines, too tame for thrill-seekers
Summary: This ride sets the standard for flume rides. Once again, Disney created an experience, not just a ride. After riding it, it will hard not to be disappointed by similarly styled rides at other parks. Water rides are everywhere, but ... read more

Pros: well themed, great music, extended sequence after the final drop, fantastic view of Cinderella's Castle
Cons: outdoor theming sparse, drop could be more extreme, don't pay much attention first few times
Summary: Splash Mountain is one of the longest log flume rides I've ever taken. It lasts for about 12 minutes (including the loading and unloading time) but feels even longer. Along the way, it tells a tale of Uncle Remus' Briar Patch featuring Brer Rabbit, Brer ... read more

Pros: Catchy music, plenty of Disney magic, and a huge waterfall!
Cons: I honestly can't think of one
Summary: Ok, I've got a confession to make, I'm a bit of a wimp when it comes to thrill rides, which is why I was initially reluctant to give this Magic Kingdom classic a try. What I learned from doing so was that I've been foolishly depriving myself of one of ... read more

Pros: Thrilling enough for all, actually has a story line
Cons: The lines, Log Cloggage!
Summary: Now Disney has had some of the more "cutting edge" rides at one time in different types of rides. One example I can think of is the Tower of Terror at MGM which did it for dropping rides. Another one is our subject here, Splash Mountain which did it for ... read more

Pros: Excellent characters, lots of fun, great drop at the very end.
Cons: Waits a little long.
Summary: When Walt Disney first imagined his theme park Walt Disney World, I don't think he ever imagined it would have become as massive as it has become today. And I guarantee that he never imagined such a great ride as Splash Mountain. Ever since I was ... read more
