On the day this attraction made its official 1992 Walt Disney World debut, everyone got soaked--thanks in part to a particularly potent Florida rain cloud. But the rain wasn't entirely responsible for the sea of soggy Magic Kingdom guests. The five-story drop into an aqueous briar patch was. And a steady stream of thrill seekers have been taking the plunge ever since. In this guaranteed smile inducer, guests enjoy a waterborne journey through brightly colored swamps and bayous, and down waterfalls, and are finally hurtled from the peak of the mountain to a briar-laced pond five stories below. If you'd like to get soaked on Splash Mountain, request a seat up front.
