Splash Mountain Questions

Could anyone tell me, is it the Animatronic Brer Frog at the bottom of the first lift hill sitting in the rocking chairs' shadow that we see animated in the queue, and is that where the queue actually is in relation to the animatronic figure?

I just cant figure out the layout of the ride when I'm looking at it on Google Earth.

Does anyone have a layout plan of the entire ride, entrance queue and exit queue? Martin do you have it in a tribute video as you do for other rides, because I would love to see one, If I try to think of the layout I end up confused:lookaroun

I`m not sure about the shadow, but here is a layout. A bit confusing since there are 3 distinct levels. I did a video a while back, but do have advanced plans for a better one

I don't have any proof, but I don't think so.... I believe the the Brer Frog in the queue is a projected animation... From my recollection it moves much more fluidly (and differently) than the animatronic....

Also, from a realistic point of view, I would imagine that the sheer logistics/budget involved for engineering alone to accommodate the reuse of the same animatronic in the ride as a detailed shadow in the queue would far exceed the benefits of doing just that...

.... but I've been wrong before...

At least you admit it.

I think they are different.

As far as I know the Brer Frog projection in the que isn't anywhere related to the actual Brer Frog and it's location at the lift hill.

I was thinking about it more and the projection is in a little cave in the queue and obviously the lift hill is separate. They are however both on the left side and facing the same direction so i can see were the two would get associated together
