A similar malfunction happened on Disneyland’s Splash Mountain. All the animatronics were shut off; however, the sound was working properly.

This malfunction is extremely rare! If you have any unseen footage or information about it, please contact either me or @CrazyDisneyPark

More collaborations between our accounts will happen soon!

After some brief downtime, Splash Mountain at Magic Kingdom reopened with the animatronics turned off and only a couple of sounds working due to an extremely rare malfunction.

Rare photos of Imagineers with the animatronics in the "Laughing Place" during the construction of Splash Mountain at Disneyland!

A video from Imagineering in 2016 showcasing the work that went into preserving the natural nature around Splash Mountain at Disneyland! A huge part of Splash Mountain was the natural nature around its exterior, which has seemingly been forgotten by most people

The iconic "Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah" segment from the 1990 VHS tape "Disney Sing-Along-Songs: Disneyland Fun"

This segment features Big Thunder Mountain, Splash Mountain, Star Tours, and other rides from Disneyland!

@SmartBugaboo @cynical_disney Correct! It was replaced with a goose right before opening

[Splash Mountain Historical Society @SplashMHS]

Fun fact! The spinning pig from America Sings was briefly installed in Splash Mountain during testing. It was intended for the "Laughing Place" scene. The animatronic would be replaced and scrapped before the rides official opening, with the reason why being unknown to this day!

@noobstersubs Everyone should be woke already, lets start early

[Splash Mountain Historical Society @SplashMHS]

@SplashFan2000 Yes, it is pretty obvious to be honest. Bad faith actors in our community that continue to make us look bad decided that it was against the film, when everyone in the comments and QRTs clearly recognized the intended purpose of the comic. It's a joke, we need to lighten up.

@tarynewyss This is awesome. You should add Sam Eagle from America Sings

@Toonzy_01 Understandable question, its likely that the rest of the tape was empty. We are unsure though.

[Splash Mountain Historical Society @SplashMHS]

An incredible 9 minute tape detailing the heavy work and detail that went into the sets as well as the rock-work for Splash Mountain at Walt Disney World has been found by a random user on YouTube! This tape shows how much effort went into every corner of the ride

[Splash Mountain Historical Society @SplashMHS]

@GreenCheetah99 It is incredible how Splash Mountain's exterior was specifically made to have real grass and not fake grass. Another example of how the "re-theme" fails as a ride.
