Description:
Families climb into a log and sit in a line, single file. (If you have a small family, you can be grouped with others. (I think it can seat six.) There are no seat belts, but you are seated low down. The log travels briefly outside of the "mountain." Most of the ride takes place inside the mountain where you see scenes from the "Song of the South" Disney movie. There are some scary scenes of the rabbit in a noose-like contraption hanging over a fire. There is also another scene where a vulture is above the log making cackling noises before you go up for the big 50-foot drop at the end, where you could get wet. Most of the ride, however, features very happy/cute scenes. There are some smaller drops as well. It is long -- about 15 minutes. The log takes a very leisurely pace so you can see the animitronic animals sing and move among the southern scenery.
