Splash Mountain improvement Brainstorm

MrPotatoHead · 09-24-2008, 03:36 PM

Well welcome to the thread were we take about what needs to be improved at Splash Mountain (only at Disneyland). So, any ideas????

Kileli · 09-24-2008, 04:24 PM

Make the seats softer. My butt hurts when I get off, lol. And more legroom, my knees are ALWAYS In someone's side.

NOTHING the Ride is AWESOME lol

Splash Mountain is a really fun ride :D, I dont see why it would need any improvement.
Although it would be interesting to have the logs the way they are at Walt Disney World in the Magic Kindom ;D

I don't know why, but I wouldn't want that. I like how the seating is right now. Maybe it's because, since no one's sitting next to me, I get to see both sides of the ride without no one blocking my view.

^ Plus, they'd have to widen every single part of the canal for it to work with those boats. I've been in the WDW ones, I like ours more.

atbsfire · 09-24-2008, 08:16 PM

They wouldn't have to widen anything.

Kileli · 09-24-2008, 08:33 PM

Would the boats fit? I remember them being very wide, two people wouldn't have to squeeze to fit.

atbsfire · 09-24-2008, 08:39 PM

The back seat of a Disneyland Splash Mountain log is wider then the other seats in front, Two people can sit in the back, I'm not sure about how squshed they would be, I've seen people sit in the back together and they looked comfortable. If the back is comfortabe with two people, I'm sure all they would need to do, is make the rest of the seats like the back. Then again I'm not sure XD

The boat at the WDW splash mountain look cramped, but i've never had any problems fitting in there...and im not exactly the skinniest person in the world

Oh boy I went on Sunday and the ride was broken from about 9:00-11:00, well we went on it as usual but the ride seemed more bumpy than usual, and the music was scratchy, it sounded like an old record being played. After the first "big" drop we found that all the animatronics were broken, looking down at the floor and blinking, that's it. Brer Bear attached to the rope was also broken, stuck in one place, while Brer Fox looked down making horrible screeching noises whenever he opened his mouth. The moose across the way was just as bad. Brer Rabbit, Brer Turtle, and the baby possums worked just fine, but when we got to the Take Me Along Gator, his head was almost completely off, we could see the wires poking out of his neck. The laughing Brer Rabbit and rolling Brer Bear worked fine while all the other critters in the laughin' place remained motionless, the dog slowly spinning in his boat. In the Sticky Situation scene we could barely see Brer Fox who was hidden in the darkness behind the frozen Brer Rabbit. The Burrow's Lament girls were all broken while the two vultures worked perfectly fine. Brer Rabbit tied up at the end was broken as usual, and the racoon and beaver at the end worked fine. This is the real sad part, all the finale critters were broken down completely. The gators and things in the haywagon froze while all the animals on the riverboat bent to one side barely moving. Everything from that point on worked fine. The ride was closed when we got off.

Splash Mountain at Disneyland or Magic Kingdom ?

Kileli · 09-24-2008, 09:16 PM

Oh, I noticed that the croc playing an instrument at the very end (the croc on the left) has a big hole in his tail.
