It was announced almost three years ago, in June of 2020, that Splash Mountain at both Walt Disney World and Disneyland would close and get a significant overhaul, including a transformation of the ride from one based on Disney’s controversial Song of the South to one based on The Princess and the Frog. Disney World’s version of Splash Mountain closed in January, and yesterday was the last day for the attraction at Disneyland, and the fans, and the Imagineers, turned out to say goodbye.
The crowds at Disneyland yesterday were significant and a lot of them were very specifically there to ride Splash Mountain one last time before the ride closed down for good. The attraction, which only tended to have significant wait times in the hot summer months, showed very long waits all day, even into the evening as things had been cooling down.
