What is the Best Version of Splash Mt. In the World?

Since these threads have been popping up, I'll throw my hat in this ring. I vote Magic Kingdom. It's just perfect, despite not working at 100% all the time

I voted Magic Kingdom. It blows away Disneyland's for sure. Now I haven't been on Tokyo's so I couldn't vote for it, but I think that version may even top DW's. The drop is also 10 feet higher at TDL's.

I've been on all three and they're all incredible but TDL has the quantity of AAs of DL with the quality of MK's. You also don't get wet and there's never anybody on single rider line.

MKs has better theming but DLs has better music and the drop is more satisfying.

Another thing I think that makes the MK's so much better than DL's is the sets. The MK's has very colorful, vibrant and super detailed sets while DL's is mostly just dark walls with some occasional tree foliage hanging. Also, the MK's has so many extra scenes DL's is missing. DL does have the family of rabbits and possums at the end, but that's about it. The MK's Splash also has an extra drop that DL's doesn't, as well as having smooth waterfall lift hills as opposed to DL's herky-jerky conveyor belts that make a ton of racket lol

MKs has better theming but DLs has better music and the drop is more satisfying.

I actually prefer the Magic Kingdom's banjo, down-home, southern music over Disneyland's jazzy, orchestral music. MK's seems more authentic and more true to the theming overall.

Having actually gone on Tokyo Disneyland's version, I would actually say it beats out the Magic Kingdom through its theming. Just imagine MK's Splash Mountain, but with a much more intricate queue and scenery. And half of the songs are in Japanese.

Definitely TDL. And not just because DH and I were the only ones in the single rider line. Really. No, really.

The "secret" single rider line in Tokyo is the best! That's how I was able to ride it twice in in one day.

Only rode Disneyland and WDW's. I was shocked how much better WDW's was. Disneyland's was rushed, had just the one row and just didn't have the overall leisurely ride to it. It reminds me a bit of the comparison of Pirates between the two parks. Disneyland's is better for sure, but I almost feel that WDW's Splash makes up for that gap.
