It's longer, but their mountain is just too cartoony-looking for me. I do like the scene with the goat, and the part that goes out over the water for a second. Yeah, it lasts longer, but does not have that great hairpin curve of the original.
That said, all Big Thunders pale in comparison to the French One. All hail DLP Big Thunder Mountain!!
I don't like side-by-side riding in Splash, and I don't know why it's daylight inside their mountain. So I'm firmly in the Disneyland camp on Splash Mountain, even though the Florida one is hardly a craptacular ride. It's very enjoyable. Just not my personal fave.
Viva la differance!!
