Why did I get so wet on Splash Mountain?

It is almost a certainty that you will get wet, and possibly drenched, riding Splash Mountain. During the summer months, the water jets are cranked up to 11, practically guaranteeing that you'll get soaked. If you visit on a cool day, you may want to carry a plastic garbage bag.

The small drops are more fun than thrilling, and there is more than one way to get wet along the way! Splash Mountain's main drop is a 5-story, 50-foot plunge at a 45-degree angle at a speed of about 40 mph! You will definitely lose your stomach (and your mouse ears!) before getting splashed!

The drops on Splash don't give you much of the stomach drop sensation. They are not very steep. That said, the drops will still probably bother you mentally, but it will be well worth it. Splash Mountain is one of the truly special rides in all of WDW that MUST be experienced.

Aside from the drop, there's nothing scary about Splash Mountain (and even that is over relatively quickly!). The rest of it is fairly calm, although there's a small drop or two - nothing at all severe. The rest finds you floating through some unique and really incredibly rendered settings.

Splash Mountain Be prepared that they usually put larger passengers in the back. There's no seat belt, just a log you step down into and sit on a bench. You will get wet, so this ride is a great time to swap out your shoes to sandals, if you haven't already and you brought an extra pair.

IMO, Splash Mountain feels more like a big slide than a roller coaster. Many people that would never go on Everest go on Splash everyday, and they're fine. You'll be fine, too. The angle / drop looks much worse from the outside then when you are actually on it.
