Ultimate Thread About Br'er Bear's Rump

[BasiltheBatLord]

Haven't seen the owl talking with the photo shown since probably 2012/2013. IIRC he went through an extended period of being completely off, but was brought back up to move around and hoot (without talking) a few years ago.

They need to bring back the owl but instead of a projection screen showing the pictures have it be an HDTV. A HDTV with wood paneling so it fits in.

My guess is it went the way of the Tiki Room's Barker Bird; it had served its purpose and was no longer needed. The scene was there to let people know they could buy a photo-- Splash was the first ride at DL with that feature (and at the time the photos were very low-res and grainy!) But once the ride-photo concept became commonplace and everybody knew about it, there was no point in maintaining that scene. I don't miss it much, since it was, after all, basically a commercial tacked on to the end of the ride.

I wonder if they couldn’t get the timing right of having the right picture displayed with the right log?

Or instead of the photo, a QR code for that log to scan to instantly link the photo to their account if they have Maxpass.

Am I the only one bugged by the fact you can see into other scenes at Disneyland's Splash? It just makes me feel like I'm going around in circles

I've never noticed. Too busy looking at the geese and frogs.

You can see the geese (from the back) right after the rope trap, and the back of Br'er Rabbit and Br'er Turtle going down the dip-drop. Also you can see the Beehive Br'er Bear from the Laughing Place. Just the ones off the top of my head

Br'er Rabbit and Br'er Turtle going down the dip-drop.

This works the other way as well, look to your right immediately before the Rabbit and Turtle scene and you have a clear view of the alligator.

I actually like that effect (when it's an intentional design choice). For me, glimpsing future (or past) show scenes makes the sets feel less claustrophobic and more kinetic. I like how on Mr. Toad's Wild Ride you get a preview of the village square during the country road chase, and on Alice in Wonderland the caterpillar ahead of you swings by on your upper left as you enter Tulgey Wood.

Probably. I don’t see why this is an issue unless you can see backstage areas or some mechanical elements we’re not supposed to.

I'm an artist, so it kind of bugs me

Could you elaborate on why it Bugs you?

For those who haven't been to Florida: On WDW's Splash, you don't go under Brer Bear's Butt at all; he's off to the left side of the flume. Kind of reduces the humor, horror and weirdness of the moment.

 

[EagleScout610]

Just thought of this idea. Now that Stitch has closed at WDW, move the chili-dog smell to DL's dip-drop, time it to go off for random logs and place assorted bean cans around the tree Br'er Rabbit hides behind.

 

[Phroobar]

I can bearly stand this thread. I think it's becoming the butt of jokes.

Yes, you are. This is by design.

This would permanently cross Splash Mtn. off my to-do list, but I'm sure a future Disney CEO will think it's a fantastic way to "update" the ride for "modern families craving edgier entertainment options." And cans of Brer Bear Beans will be sold at the exit.

And clear enough so riders can take a good photo of their photo.

I know this is a bit off-topic since it's about Brer Bear's other end, but the "wanted" poster of Brer Bear in the queue at WDW's Splash Mtn. is one of my all-time favorite Disney ride details. Anywhere.

I love those too! I do like the older ones, bottom of this post.
