It closed Sunday, and by Tuesday, the TikTok hashtag #goodbyesplashmountain had attracted 1.6 million views. Somber tribute videos to the ride set to the song “Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah” — some of which claimed to show visitors’ last times riding its log boats over its waterfall with a 45-degree drop — had thousands of likes.

“I will miss you forever. Goodbye, Splash Mountain,” read the caption of a video that had more than 1,300 likes Tuesday afternoon.

Another video claims to show a two-plus-hour wait to board on the final day. …

The closing of the 30-year-old ride — which Princess Diana visited in 1993 — follows years of calls for change because it features several characters from Disney’s 1946 film “Song of the South,” which featured racist stereotypes.

[I get why Disney wants to keep “Song of the South” in its vault, and that’s its prerogative. Getting rid of the Splash Mountain log ride is really odd, however. I’ve ridden it dozens of times since I was a kid, including any number of times as an adult, and I never knew it was connected to “Song of the South.” It always seemed more like a Western adventure to me. — Ed]
