Summary: Zip-a-dee-doo-dah! Br'er Rabbit is going searching for his "Laughin' Place" and you can come along for a wild water ride through the Briar Patch and beyond. Based on Disney's "Song of the South" movie, the ride introduces you to Br'er Rabbit, Br'er Fox, Br'er Bear, and other critters (many recycled from the "America Sings" attraction that shut down years ago). The ride is a water flume ride, and there are several short drops during the ride before the spectacular drop (five stories tall!). You'll know when the big drop is coming because there are vultures on hand to heckle you. After the last drop, which offers a great view of the park, you enter a "Showboat" scene before finishing the ride.
Comments: The last drop is a big one, and can be startling to younger children of all abilities. And you will get wet - it's called "Splash" Mountain for a reason!
Hidden Mickeys: In the Showboat scene near the end of the ride, look up in the clouds behind the showboat. You should be able to see a Mickey shaped cloud (Mickey is lying on his back).
