What happened in 1989?

Oh hey, that's right! Splash Mountain!

I was there on the third day it was open. We were the second family in line, so I was super stoked. Unfortunately, from the get-go, they were having problems that kept the ride from being operational for around 3 hours. I waited and waited. Family members wandered off, here and there, to stave off the boredom, but not me. I wanted Splash, and I wanted it baaaaad. When we finally got to go, I loved it and wanted desperately to go again. My family, unappreciative of the wait said "no." Booo....

I remember it being crowded at the park. I brought a change of clothes since I figured I was going to get wet on Splash - and waiting in the awful women's restroom queue at the entrance of Adventureland. Ugh.

That memory is seared into my BRAIN.
