Disneyland's Splash Mountain

THE STORY: Against the advice of Mr. Bluebird, Brer Rabbit leaves his briar patch home in search of adventure. Brer Fox and Brer Bear seize this opportunity to begin their storied pursuit of the rabbit. At first, Brer Rabbit outwits his pursuers, but as you proceed you soon discover Brer Rabbit is heading for trouble.

THE RIDE: Most of the Splash Mountain audio-animatronic characters were developed for the America Sings attraction, and were re-located to Splash Mountain after the America Sings attraction closed in 1988.

More than 100 audio-animatronics fill the attraction, which also contains one of the largest animated props in the finale; The Showboat, which is 50 feet wide and 30 feet high, and rocks back and forth as a cast of audio-animatronics sing and dance to "Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah."
