Disney world log flume ride5/16/2023 ![]() Perhaps it’s the decades-old patina marinating in the nooks and crannies of the ancient, vacant-eyed animatronics on rides like It’s A Small World and Pirates of the Caribbean. Perhaps it’s the levels of chemicals needed to kill whatever biological horrors are shed by the park’s 57,000 estimated daily visitors. Disney regulars get extremely emotionally attached to park attractions. ![]() Another listing, clearly making fun of the trend, offers a “Great Value Sandwich Bag of Toilet Water from Restroom by Splash Mountain.”ĬNN has reached out to eBay and Disney Parks for comment. One listing requests a starting bid of $5,000. (Take a Cheeto bearing a passing resemblance to Harambe the Gorilla that allegedly sold on the site for nearly $100,000 in 2017.)Īnyone looking to genuinely secure some of that sacred aqua vitae should take care: Several of the listings for “Splash Mountain Water” have the same image, yet were listed by different sellers. Disney experts who spoke to CNN suspect that most of them are joke listings, which isn’t unusual. Splash Mountain water in particular caught a lot of interest on eBay and Disney-themed online communities. ![]() While more politically minded Disney fans honored the occasion by fighting over the reasons for the ride’s closure (it is based on the infamous 1946 Disney film “Song of the South”) others got down to business buying, selling, trading and showing off whatever Splash Mountain merchandise they could get their hands on. Throngs of people crowded Orlando’s Magic Kingdom theme park to witness the log flume-style attraction’s final runnings on January 23, decked in all manner of Splash Mountain merchandise and ready to wait upwards of four hours for one last soggy ride. Walt Disney World’s iconic Splash Mountain ride is officially closed, but hardcore Disney fans are going to creative lengths to keep pieces of the attraction forever. ![]()
