Another easy one: What ride is this, and what "land" is it in? Also, do you know what distinction this ride has (this part of the ride in particular)?

Answer:
This is Splash Mountain in Disneyland's Critter Country.

The distinction I was going for is the fact that it is the fastest ride in Disneyland, as the ride vehicles reach up to 40mph during the big drop pictured here. I didn't word my question very well, though. Even though nobody guessed what I had in mind, everyone's response was still correct in their own way.

Splash Mountain in Critter Country, and now for your question...
Distinction...could it be the 5 story plunge, or the angle of the drop? The front to back seating, the mystery photo being taken, then of course, I could be way off what you're looking for.

Splash Mountain - Critter Country - I guess not - I know that it has to do with Song of the South.

Splash Mountain in Critter Country. Disney's first water flume ride?

Kirby
Splash Mountain
Critter Country
I'm not sure what is distinctive about the drop. I used to think that this was the steepest and/or fastest log flume drop, but it appears from a little googling not to be so (but probably was when it opened). The drop is 5 stories. During my 2002 trip I never got wet on it, but that was with the older style logs (before the ones pictured).

Splash Mountain. Is this where they take your picture?

Richard Blythe
Splash Mountain - Critter Country (Formally Bear Country) - The distinction this part of the ride is the "drop" is longer than viewable because it goes below ground.
