Disneyland California's Splash Mountain ride to close FOREVER after being branded racist

One of Disneyland California's classic rides is set to close forever after being branded racist. Splash Mountain at Disneyland California is set to follow in the steps of their Disney World Orlando park in closing the historic attraction.

The iconic ride is set to make a splash for the last time at the end of May, before being redeveloped to feature a storyline with Disney's first African American princess - Princess Tiana.

Splash Mountain is based on the 1946 Disney film 'Song of the South', and sees riders boarding a log flume to follow Br'er Rabbit to his 'laughing place', pursued by Br'er Bear and Br'er Fox.
