Disney in the 1980s needed a log flume ride and they could've just put in a basic one with a basic theme; however, they decided to turn to Song of the South. The ride instead features a story, numerous animatronics, one of the greatest soundtracks of any Disney ride and a fair amount of thrills. It may be nearly 30 years old but Splash Mountain is still in the 5 greatest rides that Disney has ever created.
