Tom Hanks and John Candy in Splash
The Big Picture There have been some pretty bizarre rides in Disney's long history with theme parks, but few more peculiar than the creation behind one of its most iconic attractions, Splash Mountain. The highly beloved but still very controversial log flume ride has a complicated history in the Disney park's history books.
Director Ron Howard Release Date March 9, 1984 Actors Tom Hanks, Daryl Hannah, Eugene Levy, John Candy Run Time 111 mins Why Did Disney Theme Splash Mountain to 'Song of the South'? The idea for a log flume ride at the Disney parks came as a result of a restructuring period during the 1980s, when Disney was trying to stay relevant during an ever-evolving period for pop culture.
Disney Executives Wanted 'Splash' To Be a Part of the Upcoming Ride Close In 1983, Disney and New Line Cinema released Splash - the Ron Howard-directed romantic comedy that starred Tom Hanks and Daryl Hannah. Set in the magical land of New York City, average Joe Allen Bauer meets and falls in love with a curious mermaid named Madison , as they each navigate this hectic and vast ocean we call life.
