I actually disliked DL's Splash for the very reason you like it. Between the speed and the darkness, you couldn't see anything or make out what was going on. It never occurred to me that there was a disconnect between going into a mountain and being in daylight in WDW. I don't recall ever riding WDW's Splash in the daytime (I never waited more than 20 minutes for it).Exactly. It’s much easier to execute and hide stuff you don’t want guests to see. Dark rides need to be dark. There’s a reason the daytime scenes come off as artificial and plasticky like the opening park scene or stampede scene on MMRR.
Even on WDWs Splash which admittedly was executed well for daytime scenes on a dark ride. It always kind of came across off odd to me dropping into a mountain and into a bright sunny day. Especially being a Disneyland guy. Ours was just a big Fantasyland style dark ride.
DL's darkness was kind of creepy and gave off the impression of lights being broken even when they weren't (though, by the end, a lot of them actually were!).
