Splash Mountain at Disneyland in Anaheim, California will close May 31st, park officials announced earlier this week.
The move comes amid accusations in recent years that the ride contains racially insensitive undertones. Its current theme, “Song of The South,” originates from Disney’s 1946 film featuring “Br’er Rabbit” and his adventures in the South.
