We still don't know why they decided to use it in the Medley release instead of the alligator. But I suspect we'll never be able to find that answer.

What's interesting though, is that the roadrunner is kinda out of the way and you pass by it so dang quick. Seems weird that the figure was considered for a speaking part.... It doesn't look like the figure there has beak motions built into it.
That might explain why they chose not to have it speaking, but I'd be very curious to know if the figure is capable of beak movements and could have the audio restored.

Good answer. I had thought this after my comment about the turtle but I couldn't figure out what kind of bird this was or how to describe its location.

I personally just chalk it up to laziness. The medley also uses the instrumental "Burrow's Lament" that accompanies the vultures that they use in Florida's version, despite the fact that the Disneyland version doesn't use it.
While we're asking questions, does anyone know who provided the voices of Brer Turtle and the Hitchhiking Alligator?

Yeah, I’m still waiting for Disney to nail down a proper transition from Fantasyland to Tomorrowland in some of the parks, especially Magic Kingdom. Also MK’s transition from Adventureland to Frontierland sometimes bothers me taking how close the two are, is it that noticeable over in Disneyland where things are packed even tighter? Seems like NOS helps with that.

Doesn't the instrumental Burrow's Lament play during the lift for the final drop? Or am I thinking of a different track?
It definitely does. It plays up until the point you make the big drop.

You know when it comes down to it, I think I prefer the Florida version to the one in DL. Just feel like it is a much better ride experience. Love the exterior of DL’s though, especially how the briar patch there is less cartoony and more realistic looking.

Yes, but I'm pretty sure the instrumental Burrow's Lament used in Disneyland is different than the one used in Florida.

There are in fact two different versions, and for some reason the Disneyland one never makes it onto official releases. The DL version is nearly just Burrow’s lament without the lyrics, while WDW’s is more of a march.
Just click play – I cued up the videos already!

Huh, I never noticed that. I'm definitely used to hearing WDW's version on the soundtrack I own of DL's, but I never released it was different from what's heard on-ride. Thanks for pointing that out

According to Wikipedia (I know, I know), the version used in Florida's was initially recorded for the California version but they didn't use it.

I suspect that was back when “Sooner or Later” was to go in. With Burrow’s Lament, it makes sense to use a matching instrumental.

Man, how have I not noticed there's a difference between the Medley version and ride version. All this does is make me want Disney to put out a more accurate track.

You went through the whole thread and didn't realize we were talking about Disneyland's Splash Mountain, not Disney World?
