Construction began on Walt Disney World’s Splash Mountain in 1990 <ref> http://www.florida-project.com/walt-disney-world-photos/magic-kingdom/frontierland/splash-mountain </ref>. In order to build Chick-A-Pill Hill, (the structure which would eventually house Splash Mountain) the [[Frontierland]] train station on the [[Walt Disney World Railroad]] had to be removed. After the hill was built, the train station reopened and guests could now see the Zip-A-Dee-Lady scene inside Splash Mountain as the train passed by <ref name= "Jack1"/>.

The rock formations on Chick-A-Pill Hill were first sculpted and then reinforced with rebar, wire mesh and sprayable concrete. When completed, the hill stood 87 feet tall and housed caves, swamps and bayous. Also built was a 950,000 gallon water reservoir which supplies water for the attraction.
