Best place to sit to stay somewhat dry on splash mountain?

i dont think you can help getting wet.
When we went in April, we sat in the 3rd row, while the boat was waiting to go up the first ramp/travelator, we got drenched - either from the water cannon (which fires every 3rd? drop) or from water displacement from when another boat hit the water after the big drop. the back 2 rows were worst hit, and it came stright down on top of us; so our laps were also soaked. this was before we even got anywhere nr the drop. it happened again when we rode a second time. third time the boat in front got it.
As with any water ride, you need to be prepared to get a little wet - and possibly drenched

Actually, I just rode this November and didn't get but a couple drops of water on me. I think (like others have said) in the fall / winter / spring months they turn the water jets off, and I also think it depends on the weight of the log. More weight = bigger splashes I guess.

Also, to those commenting on "it's vacation who cares if you get wet", or "it's a water ride who cares if you get wet" - well, I do. Even in the hot summer months I can't stand walking around in wet clothes, especially shoes. It just annoys me and it's so uncomfortable. But it's a fair trade off for me if I get a little wet to ride one of my favorites, I just don't want to get soaked. And I avoid Kali River Rapids, because there's not really anything fun about that ride to me. Probably because you're likely to get soaked LOL.

I can deal with the wet clothes, but I cannot deal with squishy socks and shoes! We always take a pair of flip-flops (you know, the cheap-o ones for $2.00 made of foam) they are very lightweight to carry and we put them on for all the water rides! However, our clothes get really soaked on Kali at AK. But we still have dry shoes. So, no blisters!
