How Good is Splash Mountain?

Posted on by Mathew Corn Aubree's Ride Reviews, Disney Parks, Magic Kingdom

My name is Aubree Corn and I will be reviewing and rating different Walt Disney World rides and attractions. I am 10 years old and in the 5th grade. I love Walt Disney World and my favorite character is Minnie Mouse. I hope you enjoy.

My very first review will be about Splash Mountain which is one of my favorite ride’s in WDW. It can be found in Frontierland at the Magic Kingdom. So now that you know where it is, it’s time to tell you about the ride.

First, Splash Mountain is an old fashioned water ride that tells the story of Br’er Rabbit, who is the main character. The other main characters in the ride are Br’er Fox and Br’er Bear. There are a lot more that are also singing and dancing.

Once you get in, you will get on the log rafts (with wet seats). Then the story of Br’er Rabbit begins. You travel from scene to scene and finally down a 49 foot drop in the water below and SPLASH! Be ready to get wet when you reach the bottom.

This is one of my favorite rides because it’s a refreshing break from the heat. I also enjoy the characters and fun songs throughout the ride.

In all of my reviews, I will be rating them 1-5 mickey heads.

Splash Mountain

I rate Splash Mountain 5 Mickey Heads because of its thrilling final drop and its songs and characters.
