Splash Mountain
0:23
it's existed for 30 years so for the
0:25
last three decades I have gone on it
0:27
countless times hundreds of times I grew
0:31
up with it in a lot of ways
0:33

0:36
Dah Day
0:37
at Walt Disney World welcome everyone
0:40
out of the woo here it is just before 7
0:42
A.M probably a little too early to have
0:44
this camera pointed at my face when I'm
0:46
not completely awake yet or caffeinated
0:48
that is going to change this day has
0:50
arrived whether I want it to or not
0:53
whether all of us wanted to or not the
0:55
day is here the int
0:57
of Splash Mountain at Walt Disney World
1:01
arrives
1:03
I'm gonna go experience it join me
1:06
shall you looks as if I got the first
1:08
row here parking us here you see this
1:11
area of the lot
1:12
it's kind of empty TTC a lot of birds
1:15
out here look at this
1:21
no blue birds though
1:21
I don't see any bluebirds
1:23
if one of these landed on my shoulder a
1:25
Hitchcock would be proud I just
1:29
purchased lightning Lane it was 18 for
1:31
today's lightning Lane and even this
1:33
early
1:34
all the splash lightning Lanes
1:36
completely sold out for the day didn't
1:38
even get can't even get on it I just got
1:40
to wait in the standby all right they
1:41
are letting everyone in I'm kind of in
1:43
the little first little batch here of
1:45
the regular guests that are going in and
1:46
I am heading probably in like the first
1:48
few hundred people that are going in but
1:49
you can see it kind of stretches all the
1:50
way back all the way back there I'm
1:52
going to go in and I'm gonna head right
1:54
over to frontierland and I grab the
1:56
guide mat because this will be the last
1:57
one that has Splash Mountain written I
1:59
would imagine starting tomorrow I mean
2:01
not really 100 sure but I would imagine
2:02
the very near future that will be
2:04
omitted
2:06
from the guide map so I went ahead and
2:07
got this got myself a little soup in
2:09
there I had to get one on the way out
2:10
which is probably going to get wet and
2:11
destroyed but I'll get one on the way
2:13
out just to have okay here comes the
2:14
early entry line I am heading down this
2:16
way which way should I go we'll go this
2:18
way all right this is like a whole vibe
2:19
so you got early entry here they're
2:22
gonna go that way not really sure which
2:24
way
2:34
interior land right now they're saying
2:34
no running I don't know what it what is
2:35
a brisk walk compared to a rod when does
2:36
it may go go from a brisk walk to a trot
2:39
to a walk there's a lot of cameras out
2:42
there
2:49
there it is Straight Ahead the logs are
2:49
already going
2:51
okay I'm hoping I'm going to be at least
2:53
one of the first couple hundred people
2:54
on this thing so we're getting into the
2:57
extended queue up here wedging into the
3:00
line
3:02
empty log
3:14
you got tracker scarred and there's me
3:14
down there nice
3:27
that's an amazing shirt though all of
3:27
frontierland hundreds of hundreds of
3:29
people are now bottlenecking into this
3:31
line and we're going to go into the
3:32
queue over here for Splash also Briar
3:35
Patch gift shop hasn't been open in a
3:36
long time oh dang it's only a five
3:38
minute wait we should go on this it's
3:40
only five minutes I'm sure that's gonna
3:43
definitely grow as the day goes on
3:45
standby interest five minutes this is
3:47
probably gonna I'm gonna guess it's
3:48
probably gonna be like three hours
3:49
pretty quickly oh I see someone dressed
3:52
up as the vultures over there that's
3:54
pretty awesome okay we're winding
3:56
through the queue this should be too bad
3:58
first off okay I got the train going by
4:06
definitely got to do the train a little
4:06
bit later and look down into Splash
4:10
obviously this q line will probably
4:12
remain on Tiana's Bayou Adventure goes
4:16
there and the theming will change quite
4:17
a bit but some of this will probably go
4:19
by the wayside
4:24
little there's Mr bluebird's house or at
4:24
least one of the birds house right there
4:26
and I put my phone inside this bag they
4:27
used to have this I got this from Jungle
4:29
Cruise a few weeks ago but they used to
4:30
have these for Splash I kind of wish I
4:31
would cut mine as a souvenir kind of
4:33
keeps your phone safe so I have my
4:35
little Fanny back here for my batteries
4:37
and wallet stuff and I got this for my
4:39
phone so it was a good damage I kind of
4:40
wish I would have saved my Splash a
4:41
little plastic Ziploc thing but one
4:44
thing there it is right there everyone's
4:46
stopping to get a photo in front of it
4:47
obviously for posterity I got the line
4:51
stretching around here
4:59
should probably get mine too I got the
4:59
Splash Mountain right there it's
5:01
probably my last ride but one of my
5:03
rides
5:10
a 50-foot plunge is ahead turbulent
5:10
Flume adventure with high speeds sudden
5:12
drops and stops yeah it's a science here
5:14
brayer Fox Prairie rabbit rare bear
5:20
I might be able to get like a nice
5:20
little bird's eye from up here of the
5:22
queue line got the train going by and
5:24
you see the queue starting to formulate
5:25
down here I like it everyone that has
5:27
the there's a guy with a gray rabbit on
5:29
right there and of course yours gray
5:30
rabbit over here in the cube like what's
5:32
gonna happen to this is it who's gonna
5:33
who's gonna where's that gonna end up
5:35
reminding us that you keep up with the
5:37
party in front of you at all times
5:38

5:40

5:42

5:52
thank you and we hope you enjoy your
5:54
visit here at Splash Mountain and the
5:56
rest of your day at the Magic Kingdom
5:57
never gonna hear those words again all
6:00
right going on probably one of the first
6:01
like 20 or 30 logs I would guess
6:04
for a splash down hopefully not my only
6:06
ride on this but if it is it is but I'm
6:08
just going to try to get back in line
6:09
throughout the course of the day and
6:11
just kind of see what happens look at
6:13
that
6:18
last splashes today I noticed the
6:18
Cannons haven't been on for a while over
6:20
here
6:25
it like projects up into the air and
6:25
kind of gets you soaked so
6:28
those Briar patches
6:34
be history after today he's here in
6:34
Florida
7:34
we're near the front got a little wet on
7:34
that but didn't get completely soaked
7:36
and drenched because I sat towards the
7:37
back I realized at my weight if you sit
7:39
up front usually the water will pour
7:41
over the front of it could be my last
7:43
ride of the day but I am going to kind
7:45
of stick around kind of get the vibe and
7:47
then you know possibly get back in line
7:48
see if the line gets shorter gets longer
7:50
if that's my last ride
7:53
so be it but hopefully it's not the last
7:55
ride if I could get on a little bit
7:56
later but one thing you know a couple
7:58
thoughts about basically the my thoughts
8:01
on it closing I'm not completely you
8:03
know opposed to you know progress and
8:05
everything like that but one of the main
8:07
things I really have the that kind of
8:09
sets in my head there are again a couple
8:11
different camps of people some people
8:12
say oh the ride's not going anywhere the
8:14
ride's kind of sticking around staying
8:15
staying the same that is true with the
8:17
ride track the ride vehicle possibly and
8:19
the you know the drop and everything and
8:21
all that the theme is going to be
8:23
completely changed I am the kind of
8:24
person that thinks is this ride is
8:26
completely going away even though the
8:28
ride track's going to be the same it's
8:29
almost like saying oh I can go to DCA
8:31
and still ride Hollywood Tower Terror
8:34
but you can't because it is now
8:35
Guardians and then back in the day if
8:37
you wanted to go on Superstar limo you
8:39
can't even though it's the same ride
8:40
track now it is Monsters Inc if you
8:42
could also you can also compare it to
8:44
over at Epcot say oh I'm gonna go on
8:46
Maelstrom oh you can still go on
8:47
Maelstrom even though it's Frozen no
8:49
it's a totally different ride even
8:50
though it's the same ride track so you
8:52
know sometimes people suggest oh it's
8:54
the same ride I don't see what the big
8:55
deal is for me it's you know it's it's a
8:58
piece it's a piece of nostalgia and a
8:59
piece of my youth growing up 30 years
9:02
three decades coming here and now it's
9:05
going away forever but I am definitely
9:07
going to miss this this ride
9:11
the line's gotten pretty long man you
9:15
just look at all the old Walt Disney
9:16
World promotional stuff you know from
9:18
the 90s it's open to 92. everything
9:21
features Splash Mountain this is like
9:22
one of the biggest attractions the Magic
9:25
Kingdom has ever had now there is no
9:27
specific merch there are no plushes
9:29
there are no pins there are no Last Day
9:31
t-shirts but you can get these pins over
9:33
here which quite a bit of a line for
9:35
this I'm also going to go inside the
9:37
gift shop which the only merchandise
9:38
that's inside the splash gift shop the
9:40
Splashdown photo gift shop are the
9:43
Pressed pennies which has a very lengthy
9:45
line and also inside the Splashdown
9:47
photos gift shop next to the line but
9:49
also there also is a lot of like
9:51
artifacts photos on the wall all you
9:54
know from Song of the South and splash
9:56
and all that and you know obviously this
9:59
big just like a a lot of thing alluding
10:01
to the poster and two Bray or rabbit and
10:04
all the other cast of characters in here
10:06
all this is going to be gone away I
10:07
believe it's going to be an 18-month
10:09
refurb
10:10
when it's all said and done before the
10:13
the new for the new attraction the new
10:15
overlay theming
10:43
in a good spot here for a lot I guess
10:43
he's got like the the Poncho over there
10:45
everyone getting their final Splash
10:46
Downs here a lot of people getting their
10:47
final splashdowns dropping off just
10:49
someone wave it everywhere in the Last
10:51
Splash shirt right down there
10:59
man a lot of water
10:59
oh as that one goes in he got to see the
11:01
splash down here now it's still going to
11:02
be a splash down ride even when Tiana
11:04
kind of takes over I kind of wonder if
11:06
Doc is the facility going to be at the
11:07
top up there at the drive you got Roger
11:09
here and then you got Bray rabbit over
11:10
here as well you got the the Eisen
11:13
Eisner era stuff here as well very nice
11:16
best ERA of the Disney yeah I'm wearing
11:18
an Eisner shirt right now look at this
11:20
shirt what'd you think of your last ride
11:24
it was satisfactual there you go I like
11:28
that I like precisely at 10 A.M it is a
11:30
160 minute wait so 20 minutes per 20
11:34
minutes shy of three hours that'll be
11:35
two hours 40 minute wait my calculations
11:38
are kind of correct on that and that's
11:41
just an hour after rope drop and once
11:44
again I just rechecked and all of the
11:46
lightning Lanes gone for the day I was
11:49
thinking maybe it was like kind of a
11:50
fluke I think at some point I want to
11:52
take the train around and get the view
11:53
of the train so I'll probably maybe get
11:55
on the train here at some point and do
11:57
the loop around and then look down at
11:58
the queue line when I get over there I
11:59
do love how everyone has these Last
12:01
Splash shirts on look everybody has
12:03
their last splasher that's the line for
12:04
press pennies is now growing and growing
12:06
and growing as the morning progresses a
12:08
lot of people which way did the Press
12:10
pennies oh the Press pennies are over
12:12
there actually I got mine about a month
12:13
ago when there was no one in life for
12:15
the Press finish so I'm kind of glad I
12:16
kind of did that ahead of time is that
12:19
mine I had like an hour long line you
12:20
can press fittings
12:23
sorry

12:53
going to fix it and he like fixed it and
12:56
he was bear bear was the first one to go
12:57
down this that's right it makes you
12:59

13:02
take the last one that would be
13:04
incredible he's in the front and then
13:06

14:48
1982.92 92 92. 92 is opening nice we're
14:54
filming each other
14:59
that's a different I'm very confused by
14:59
Tech talk we're tick-tocking
15:02
all right thank you
15:13
Walter Elias Disney
15:13
and there's my Splashdown photo from
15:16
earlier and then of course 200 minutes
15:18
right now but yeah you can see that is
15:21
hopefully not the only time I've heard
15:23
today's person in front of me has
15:24
tickets
15:32
looks like Haunted Mansion right now is
15:32
down for the moment but I just wanted to
15:34
walk over here and see Jay fatty is
15:35
towed which is another it was another
15:38
ride that was removed way back in the
15:40
day gosh it's probably been what year
15:41
was that probably the 90s
15:43
Jay thadia's toe was placed well you
15:46
know what I don't know if he was placed
15:47
over here at the top of this little berm
15:48
or not then but I'm kind of wondering
15:51
now that Jay Thaddeus is up here do you
15:53
think any of the brayers will be up here
15:54
rabbit be up here next to Jay Thaddeus I
15:56
kind of feel like anytime there is an
15:58
extinct attraction that has an animal
15:59
for the mascot it should probably end
16:01
over here end up over here on the pet
16:04
berm
16:09
that's what I'm calling us I've now
16:09
stopped off at the Columbia Harbor House
16:11
I spent a long time since I've been in
16:13
here the menu is revolving over there I
16:15
think I'm gonna get a little vital snack
16:17
and this is what we're dealing with a
16:19
grilled shrimp skewer right here so I'm
16:21
going with grilled shrimp on this and
16:22
we've got some green beans got some rice
16:24
here as well now that we're going to
16:26
layer with a little bit of cheese now I
16:28
thought maybe the grill would be a
16:29
little bit better to eat but it also got
16:30
the fry little strips here and then a
16:33
bunch of lettuce and a little Dasani
16:35
water over here a little salt water it's
16:37
kind of lurking in the shadows but what
16:38
is this what is this a creature
16:41
speaking of creatures here's sporting
16:43
right TV's creature
16:45
um so right off the bat you see that's
16:48
uh three of the fish tenders on a what I
16:50
believe is a Pumpernickel bun usually
16:53
with some slaw and some tartar sauce uh
16:55
I'm trying to be kind of good yes
16:57
chicken or not Chicken shrimp skewer or
16:59
the with the shish kebab
17:09
the first time I ever wrote this was you
17:09
brought me out here in 2010. we've been
17:14
riding this together we did a TNT star
17:16
tour and we ended the tour at Disney
17:19
World yeah
17:20
so this is almost like a recreation
17:22
after the first ride you ever did on
17:24
it and we usually
17:36
all right here we go
17:49
oh my camera got wet ah
17:49
I did it
17:52
all right check it out it's JoJo here
17:54
hey guys so do you have uh are you like
17:56
waiting in the queue line or are you
17:57
gonna do lightning lights no so
17:58
fortunately I randomly booked the
18:00
staycation today at the boardwalk so so
18:02
you have a happy fast you're gonna get
18:04
in line how many times have you done
18:06
this ride over the years
18:07
well me probably I would say I mean I
18:10
only got here in 2019. okay so like 50.
18:13
yeah 40. I would say 45. okay I'm
18:16
honestly not trying to think too much
18:17
about it I'm gonna get a motion it's
18:20
weird I hate saying goodbyes yeah if the
18:21
line is long it's like Dumb and Dumber I
18:23
hate goodbyes but the line's like three
18:26
hours long now three hours I think it's
18:28
like at two and a half hours well
18:29
actually I did try waiting yesterday and

Nightfall is about to rear its head
22:58
very very soon
23:01
there's no wait time on this
23:04
what is the wait time what do you think
23:06
it is how much
23:08
140 minutes Justin that's not that bad
23:10
it's actually better it's two hours and
23:12
20 minutes
23:18
I hear people screaming all right we're
23:18
doing this all right Tim you have got a
23:21
little wet I did it they put us in the
23:22
front row yeah very front row that's
23:25
where you get the wet I can't sit in the
23:26
front I'm too heavy it is the floods in
23:28
over the front of the this is that you
23:30
got pretty wet too both of you guys got
23:32
really wet is that an actual room it is
23:35
yeah I try to sit in the back
23:37
you tried to was that your last flash
23:39
that was my last Splash what were you
23:41
thought did you cheer up at all no
23:50
you don't get emotional no way
23:50
it's a new ride coming
23:52
in a year and a half how many times have
23:54
you ridden this ride 187 your fair share
23:58
fair enough though true fair enough rare
24:01
share his prayer share nice I'm glad you
24:05
got to do it though me too yeah stuff
24:08
going on on my third time and I'm gonna
24:09
close the night out with number four
24:12
here it's like the Vulcan grip oh
24:26
flash or trying to get in the hospital
24:26
all right awesome good luck up another
24:28
train coming through here so the line is
24:31
you know it's a little bit lengthy but
24:33
in it for the Long Haul
24:35
you know what I think is Zippity doodah
24:37
I think of two different movies
24:38
obviously I think of some of the South
24:40
and I also think a Fletch lives
24:43
so really they could get rid of we know
24:46
the overlay that's in here maybe they
24:47
can put Chevy Chase in here as an
24:49
overlay yeah they could put they could
24:51
yeah maybe Fletch loose
24:54
it's a deep cut I know there he is
24:56
wanted brayer Bayer to take the last
24:58
ride just like he took the first ride he
25:00
should take the last ride he'll be
25:02
wanted forever now and nowhere to be
25:04
found just to show I'm not making this
25:05
up this is a screen grab look at this
25:08
there's Bray bear going down the incline
25:11
for the very first time now for one
25:13
reason another might be because it is
25:14
now completely Nightfall The Lights have
25:16
turned on hopefully that does not mean
25:18
the ride has broken down because there
25:20
are a lot of people here in this line
25:23
including myself that would not but this
25:25
light just came on these lights just
25:27
came on sometimes when they turn the
25:28
lights on that means
25:30
sometimes the ride is not working we are
25:32
almost in the lines movement
25:34
surprisingly quicker than I thought it
25:36
was going to this third round for me all
25:38
right the light you see in the light
25:40
this all illuminated I kind of I need a
25:43
sign like that at some point trying to
25:46
get the I don't know the lights are on
25:47
inside there too
25:59
you have brought Mr Bluebird I have can
25:59
I can you put that on my shoulder uh if
26:01
it would be magnetic yeah can you put it
26:03
up on there yeah sure there you go I got
26:05
the blue Mr Bluebird is now on my
26:06
shoulder it's the truth it's actually
26:09
everything is satisfactual at least for
26:11
at least for a few more hours of course
26:13
yeah all right Mr Bluebird see ya we're
26:15
about to go up the stairs we have been
26:17
in line only one hour to this point so I
26:20
think it's gonna be pretty good we're
26:21
almost going up the stairs this is
26:23
definitely going to be less than two
26:24
hours and 20 minutes we've only been in
26:27
line for one hour it's now one hour past
26:29
when we got it you have an awesome set
26:31

27:27
was a pretty good splash down photo I
27:30
had my GoPro on there this way we just
27:32
got a lot of the flood equipment on the
27:33
front of that and then I think I showed
27:35
this one this is the second ride earlier
27:37
we were in the back so second ride I was
27:39
in the back there and third ride in the
27:43
front right up here just splashed out
27:46
the Press Penny line has gotten even
27:48
leap year as well the press Penny line
27:51
stretches all the way over here and all
27:53
the way back over that way so what's the
27:55
wait time been on the penny line
27:57
approximately about an hour and a half
27:59

28:22
the word brayer means I have no idea I
28:25
didn't realize it's either to Justin
28:26

28:27
brother like Brother Bear brother frog
28:29
brother
28:31
these are brother frogs brother frog
28:33
yeah it's like a southern thing they
28:35
have many more brother frogs at home I
28:37
just couldn't you have more than two
28:38
brother frogs somewhere yeah how much
28:41
probably like six or eight no I mean how
28:44
much to sell people you take those on
28:45
the ride yeah that's so cool look like
28:47
they're soaked in Splash Water they can
28:50
never be washed again that'll double
28:51
that'll double the the going price right
28:53
yeah nice all right see you bear frogs
28:57
and at 8 30 it is a complete walk-on for
29:02
Peter Pan no one in line for Peter I
29:04
think because of the line for Splash and
29:07
the fireworks are happening right now
29:08
there is no one on Peter Pan a complete
29:12
absolute complete walkout here with Gary
29:14
have you ever seen him just being a
29:16
walk-on like this not even there in just
29:18
fireworks one minute wait if you've
29:20
higher queue because they get much
29:21
better that is now 9 20.
29:26
everyone is over here cheering for
29:29
everyone's Last Splash is still an hour
29:31
40 minutes until Splash mountains closed
29:33
forever while Disney World
29:57
this is pretty pretty awesome it is now
29:57
one hour until close it is now 10 p.m
30:01
and the wait time over here is
30:04
200 minutes so my plan is I'm gonna go
30:08
on the bridge watch kind of the
30:09
craziness and Insanity from the bridge
30:11
then at 15 minutes to 11. get in line
30:14
I'm not going to chance with the last
30:15
five minutes I'm gonna walk over here 15
30:17
minutes
30:44
that guy's been riding all day in the
30:46
back from rope drop till now
30:53
yeah
30:53
drop it in last
30:57
for these folks and then greeted with
30:59
some cheers by quite a few people on the
31:01
bridge over there
31:03
we're gonna get our cheers then
31:17
all right I am really glad I stuck
31:17
around because this is a really cool
31:19
vibe
31:24
you ever seen anything like this before
31:24
Gary wow so wait uh remember when uh
31:27
Snow White closed it was not this kind
31:30
of hoopla for them
31:31
that's been a decade ago though the
31:34
internet has changed a lot of things
31:35
with uh you know the community putting
31:37
us all together this is probably
31:41
the biggest
31:48
I just love how everyone's chew and
31:50
everyone's coming together
31:55
one guy was like going on full flash
31:58
Mountain mode he like almost stood up in
32:00
the front of the log and like took his
32:02
shirt up you remember that website yeah
32:04
what's the rose for the funeral oh
32:08
you have the rose
32:11
all right you're in mourning
32:14
here in the morning
32:19
I mean technically it's gonna continue
32:19
but I'm gonna miss my fairies so yeah
32:23
my condolences my friend well now this
32:26
is to everybody yeah I mean we have to
32:29
think if we have to think the right and
32:31
the cast members you know exactly
32:33
exactly right for him as experience and
32:35
you can't remember to make it magical
32:36
that's true it is now 14 13 minutes
32:39
until this thing is completely over and
32:43
is 175 minute wait 13 minutes until the
32:47
end of WWE squash so the wine is cut off
32:59
oh
32:59
here we are guys
33:02
yes Gary you said this feels like New
33:04
Year's right yes except it's not
33:06
midnight on New Year's Eve 10 seconds so
33:09
okay
33:25
this is the spot we have chosen to get
33:27
in we got in a little bit early just to
33:29
make sure we didn't miss the cut off of
33:30
the line I think there's maybe I don't
33:32
know a couple hundred people behind us
33:34
kind of wandering around here but the
33:36
casters are telling to try to tell
33:37
everyone that's kind of accumulated down
33:39
there but they cannot be the last one on
33:41
the launch they're trying to get
33:42
everyone kind of in the area with the
33:43
light is now cut off at 175 minute wait
33:46
even though the park is now closed I
33:48
have officially done rope drop you have
33:50
done rope drop to close drops I'm not
33:53
gonna drop my clothes but you mean we're
33:55
closed yeah it's closed you're standing
33:58
on something really high you're like
33:59
really I'm on this little I'm right here
34:00
because I feel like I'm in like Iron
34:02
Maiden I got my hand up I got my foot up
34:04
on the oh yeah on the thing here I'm
34:06
like uh Bruce Dickinson
34:09
this isn't moving over here this isn't
34:11
moving this is moving over here but
34:12
we're moving finally yeah everyone over
34:14
here is just trying to get the last ride
34:15
kind of noticing the line is going
34:17
pretty smoothly I think probably all the
34:19
lightning lanes are fill up lightning
34:20
link definitely does slow everything
34:22
down but you can see the pacing here
34:23
it's moving pretty quick going through
34:25
here what happened over there Tom people
34:29
decided to stand off to the side to not
34:32
move as people entered the queue so they
34:34
can attempt to be last yeah instead of
34:35
letting the people were actually the end
34:37
of the line be less I noticed oh there's
34:39
a manager screaming yeah I didn't want
34:41
to try to attempt to be the last one I
34:44
knew this was going to happen yeah
34:45
people are animals
34:54
all right security has arrived they're
34:54
pushing everyone to the front
34:56
security guard over here with the light
34:59
stick so whoever this is at the end
35:01
they're going to be some of the last
35:02
people riding over here we're probably
35:05
maybe 100 or 200 people from the last
35:08
people on probably the last
35:11
boat and there's a little Congregation
35:13
of folks right here as well so this
35:14
looks like to be the end of the line
35:16
like right here but yeah you see the
35:17
security guard there what's up guys you
35:19
guys ready last flash
35:23
who's last in line you Alaska this
35:25
morning rope drop to close who's got the
35:29
last place in line are you
35:32
over here all right look at that you're
35:34
in the last couple logs have a good last
35:36
Splash all right you are probably one of
35:38
the biggest splash mountain fans I know
35:40
yeah what are your thoughts right now on
35:42
the last flash
35:43
um you know I'm gonna miss the ride and
35:45
I'm sad to see it go big part of my
35:47
childhood growing up
35:54
watching Song of the South and right
35:54
reading those rare rabbit stories so
35:56
then I was doing the same thing you know
35:58
but you know as sad as it is it is what
36:01
it is it's where rabbit says it's time
36:03
to be moving along we should all just be
36:05
grateful that we got 30 years out of the
36:08
ride grateful has stuck around for as
36:10
long as I did grateful for the Memories
36:12
you know we all got to enjoy it one more
36:13
time you know let's just hope that Tiana
36:16
brings us some rides it's just us good
36:18
if not better you know I like that man
36:20
yes hopefully the best well said man
36:23
well said
36:38
that's it the Line This is it the line
36:38
is empty here look at this the queue is
36:41
empty
37:04
all right through the Briar pass One

Last Time

37:08
cheering down there so that's good go
37:11
put me in no Briar Patch last time

37:18
might cry
37:20

37:22
of screaming today I think I'm losing my
37:24
mind
37:30
next time I go on this
37:30
I hear it facility
37:36
is going to be at the drop but I don't
37:36
want to think too far
37:54
goodbye slipping balls
37:54

38:46

38:49

38:54
majority of the cast members they were
38:55
all crying and very emotional thinking
38:57
for everybody there were a lot of Cheers
38:58
