Clean water in Splash Mountain

[epcotisbest]

While at MK last week it seemed to both my wife and I that the water in Splash Mountain was the cleanest and least smelly we have ever noticed. Do they flush it out and replace the water regularly and we happen to ride soon afterward, or could we just be imagining things?

Probably just getting immune to the smell lol kidding I've never really noticed it smelling THAT bad but maybe a few times here and there.

I never really noticed the water smelling bad. In fact I've always been kind of fond of the smell of the water in Splash, Pirates, etc. For a while though, the logs reeked of mildew really bad but that was taken care of a few years ago.

I didn't notice it too much on Splash but definitely on Maelstrom.

I've always loved musty (is that the right word?) smell in Pirates and Splash

You mean they aren't supposed to have distinct smells?? Huh... Well. I like it! It smells great on Pirates and Maelstrom!

I love the smell of POTC water in the morning.

The area below the main drop smelled like a toilet a couple weeks ago. You could smell it from the bridge too, but it didn't seem to be the water. What got on us didn't smell.

Honestly, I've never paid attention to whether the water's clean or not.

I love the smell of getting close to those rides but it has always smelled like chlorine to me.

Ohh those Disney smells!

Only where water regularly flows fast does it not take the time to digest all those lovely organic compounds suspended in it. When you live in coastal lowlands you know this from an early age.

Don't they have super duper pumps and filters on SM, located just behind the mountain near the trash collection system?

That's good to know. Maybe they will keep it cleaner. This is the only reason why I refuse to ride SM because I hate smelling like that all day. Makes me gag.
