The Best Things to Do at Disney World: The Rides and Beyond | Condé Nast Traveler
"The centerpiece of Frontierland at the Magic Kingdom, Splash Mountain is based on the animated scenes from Disney’s controversial 1946 film Song of the South . And they don’t call it Splash Mountain for nothing. Combine the 50-foot final drop with the 950,000 gallons of water flowing through the ride and, yeah, you’re gonna get wet—especially if you’re placed at the front of the boat. If you can bear to look out instead of down at the crest of the final drop, you’ll be treated to a fantastic view of Cinderella Castle and Space Mountain off in the distance." - Valerie Marino
