Space and Screamin - front row

Splash - front to get wet, back to stay drier.

BTMRR - back row for the goat trick!

Indy, I like being on the end, and in the back row.

Matterhorn - doesn't matter.

Nemo - Just say no. Not even worth it.

It is really cool to be in the first line for Soarin'--no feet in your vision. I just generally sit wherever to make the line keep moving...

What she said!

For the Matterhorn, I prefer sitting in the front portion of the bobsled because it seems bigger to me and my knees don't bang around.

The only input I have is Indy - I love sitting in the "drivers seat".

Ditto all the above, plus ToT: front row

I love the front of Screamin'! Did it that way the very last time we rode, from now on that is the ONLY way I'm gonna go!

I agree, except I'd have to say front seat for Matterhorn. I think the front seat has more room; at least that's what I've heard.

By the way, what is the "goat trick" on BTMRR?

By the way, what is the "goat trick" on BTMRR?

Ahhh, the goat trick.

Ahhh, the goat trick.

Just looked it up, never mind!

Space Mountain- Front is best with the wind freezing your face. Back whips more as is with all coasters

Screamin - the top row, not sure which it is but no feet in your face

Splash - front to get wet, back to stay drier.

BTMRR - back row for the goat trick and as with all coasters the back has the funnest ride!

Indy - I cannot ride that. Front is cool as you see what is coming, outside if you like looking down.

Matterhorn - Front for view and as with all coasters the back is best and I sit with one leg tucked under me, lol.

Nemo - Any seat but the last one unless you are very short legged.

Tower of Terror - front row on the aisle as you have nothing to protect you and remember to not tighten the belt too tight. First time my rump was way off the seat, air time. Second time with tight belt and it was not so scary as I was not flying out of the seat.

Casey Jr. - Cages and the caboose facing the toward the back.

Star Tours - Top corner seats and front row do not have anything to hold onto and I done slid out of my seat in the top left corner. BRAKE BRAKE, what brakes, lol.

Haunted Mansion - get in first as the right side is better view.

Orange Stinger - Outside is best but not with me on it as I scream and beg and then um I lost all sanity on that ride.

Screamin is another back row or first row rollercoaster.

Mullholland Madness - I cannot remember which side is the best. One side tends to be the side that everyone gets thrown to so the skinny person gets squished. Another high risk ride for me.

I don't know if this is considered a "big" ride, but on Star Tours, I LOVE the back row! It seems to flip you around a lot more, and you feel more of the movement.

I agree with the back car of Thunder Mtn. because you get whipped around more and the drops hit you more. Rode in the the very first car once this trip and it wasn't the same ride.

You also have to experience Thunder at night. The kids were convinced there were two different tracks. We also noticed things we didn't notice during the day.

Splash - The Front but you will get very wet
Space - Definitely the front
BTMRR - Definitely the back
Matahorn - not critical but the back is a little better, the tomorrowland side is the better run
Indy - Front
Cal Scream - I prefered the back as the front seemed quite a bit slower but the front is good also
Mulholland - The right side is the side that goes out over the park so a little scarier
POTC - Front is best but you will get a little wet

 

[Huff]

Indy Second row, right side unless you are afraid of big snakes.

Scream'n Love the front!

BTMRR Back row. There is no 'front' as you still have the train engine in front of you.

Splash very back row for kids as they can sit side by side.

TOT Front row has best view

Scream'n Center section, front row as it goes up the highest with no dangling feet.

GR Door seat to get extra wet

ITTBAB Middle or back for best view, front if you like stink bug smell

SM Front always

IASW All seats are bad. Wear ear plugs.
