Walt Disney World permanently shut down<\/a> Splash Mountain on Monday, but it certainly wasn\u2019t because of a lack of interest as the popular ride had record lines on its final day.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Splash Mountain, which is now shut down for a revamped attraction that is scheduled to open in 2024, broke a Walt Disney World<\/a> record on its final day of operation. Fans waited a staggering\u00a0220 minutes \u2013 nearly four hours \u2013 to take one more ride, according to Thrill Data, which monitors wait times at theme parks.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The famed water ride, which features a steep drop, came under fire on social media because it features characters and music from “Song of the South,”\u00a0a 1946 animated film that has been accused of employing racist tropes about the post-Civil War South.<\/p>\n

Despite backlash, the ride was one of Disney\u2019s most recognized landmarks for decades.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Last year, Fox News Radio\u2019s Tomi Lahren blasted the decision<\/a> to shut down the iconic ride.<\/p>\n

“If you\u2019re not quite sure what\u2019s racist about a water log ride, you\u2019re not alone. Most of us don\u2019t get it either but that\u2019s because we are normal and don\u2019t look for things to be offended by \u2013 including theme park rides,” Lahren said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Is this really necessary? Was the ride really that offensive or is this yet another woke and worthless virtue signal? Something is always going to offend someone, why are we making a national habit out of cancel culture?” she continued. “Pretty soon there won\u2019t be anything or anyone left. Leave it to Disney to suck the absolute fun out of absolutely everything.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

The revamped attraction Tiana\u2019s Bayou Adventure will be based on Disney\u2019s 2009 animated film “The Princess and the Frog.”<\/p>\n

“The new concept is inclusive \u2014 one that all of our guests can connect with and be inspired by, and it speaks to the diversity of the millions of people who visit our parks each year,” a Disney spokesperson wrote in 2020.<\/p>\n

Splash Mountain opened in 1989.\u00a0<\/p>\n
