4. Space Mountain

Space mountain is it!!

I am so confused! The answer to one of the trivia questions states that Spash Mountain opened up in 1992. I went to WDW in 1980 and was sure I rode Splash Mountain. I did not return to WDW until 2006, so I could not have possibly remembered wrong. I told my girls all about Spash Mountain, I knew the story and I told them how much I loved that ride and it was my favorite! (I also remember loving Big Thunder Mountain and It's a Small World from that trip.) How can this be? Was it called something else in 1980? Was it shut down and reopened in 1992? It would have been impossible for me to know and remember a ride that didn't exist and this is driving me crazy. I even googled it because I thought it must be a typo on Intercot! Please, I hope someone out there remembers something ...

I found this on the internet "On October 2,1992 Splash Mountain opened in Frontierland at the Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World."

Splash Mountain wasn't even open until 1989 at Disneyland.

I know ... that's what I found too, but I swear I remember the ride from the early 80's (pretty sure it was actually 1980). I absolutely did not go in 1992.

Strange, I was looking at a list of all MK attractions (old and new) and can't find anything that would have been close to splash mountain.

I know. You can't know how utterly confused I am right now. The first time I ever went was in 1980. My second trip was in 2006. My youngest daughter was 2 in 1992. In 2006 as we planned our trip, I told my daughters all about Spash Mountain and how great it was! I told them about the story that was told as you go through the ride ... how could I have known all about this? How could I have been so sure it was my favorite ride if it wasn't even there when I went?
