Inspired by "Song of the South," Splash Mountain is a half-mile ride with five drops ending in a final, 52-foot, 45-degree, 40-mile-per-hour plunge.
The ride follows Brer Rabbit, who leaves his Briar Patch to find his laughing place. Pursued by Brer Fox and Brer Bear, he outsmarts them for a while but is caught and put in Brer Fox's cave atop 87-foot-tall Chickapin Hill. From there, a sharp drop ends the ride and the Splash Mountain story.

Advice About Splash Mountain
- This ride's big drop is not for anyone a neck or back trouble, heart problems or for expectant mothers.
- Children under 8 must be accompanied by a responsible person.
- You're going to get wet, wetter in the front than in the back, but everyone gets wet. If you ride late in the day in winter, you'll go around soggy and cold afterward.
- Try to smile as you go over that last big drop. You're getting your picture taken.
- Put away your glasses and hat, or you may lose them.
