Would have been better if it was Mountain Dew.

Being that Splash is my favorite attraction, I’m pretty thrilled. I’m usually no fan of corporate sponsors, but this *hopefully* means that upgrades and regular maintenance will take place, and will ensure the attraction hangs around for many years to come (fingers crossed).

 

[WhatJaneSays]

That's a pretty logical sponsorship.

 

[Captain Barbossa]

This is a joke, right?

 

[Tony the Tigger]

Makes sense to me. Keep our ticket prices, um, low?

 

[Lensman]

This is just way too sensible and synergistic!

As part of the long-term sponsorship deal, guests will have access to Ziploc bags at Splash Mountain, which are already widely used by guests to keep possessions protected on water rides.

As an aside, a former co-worker of mine who moved to Europe said that his wife makes him load up on Ziploc bags when he visits the New York office because the zip top bags there aren't as good. I don't know how significant the differences are and I'm surprised at the lack of an international market in zip top bags.

Did Splash ever have a sponsor?

ugh! This can't be good for the environment. Discarded ziplock bags all over the place....

Hopefully this means an increased maintenance budget.

ugh! This can't be good for the environment. Discarded ziplock bags all over the place....

I’m hoping that conveniently placed trash or recycling containers will be placed near the exit of the attraction

 

[EPICOT]

What size ziploc bags will be available?


“...I’d like to store my entire backpack in a Ziploc bag please.”

 

[DisneyGigi]

Ziploc bags are a phone saver on water rides. I find this funny because I pack them every trip. How else do you prevent a shampoo explosion and end up like poor Ross? Very easy to dry off and reuse. Did Splash have a sponser before?

 

[TwilightZone]

This is the surprise of the decade.
Though the sponsorship will hopefully help the ride.
Plus it's not nearly as amusing as x2 sponsored by twix.

This is a joke, right?

Why... is today April 1st?

Personally, I'm hoping Ziploc will design new rain ponchos with a better fastener than those plastic snaps that always seem to break or pull thru...

Great, more plastic for our oceans. I doubt Disney recycles this type of plastic, and even so, recycling them does not reclaim much.

 

[disney4life2008]

Im going to put my camera and phone in a zip lock bag. If i see a drop of water im suing lol

Wasn't it bounty?

Disney trash cans are dumped into oceans?

Alright, so we have Ziploc sponsoring attractions (leniently using the term for Epcot) in two different parks. What’s next? Kali River at AK and... idk what they would do for DHS
