Best Seats on Rides?

[oktxregulators]

I have to agree with the back row on Seven Dwarfs. We rode the front a few times then ended up doing the back row and it was like night and day. The back row does rock back and forth a lot more.

Is there a seat on StarTours that is "calmer" with less movement then others?

Yes actually there is. The more middle center you are the calmer it is going to be because you are closer to the axis of movement.

I can't remember them all, but if you watch the "Gravity" episode of "The Science of Disney Imagineering" there is an imagineer that goes through the best seat for a lot of the rides and why.

That sounds cool! Any idea where I could find that?

Not necessarily a seat, but when the line splits left or right at Space Mountain, I always try to go to the right. The ride seems faster on that side

Is the Hulk a lot smoother in the front? What's the difference since the refurb? On our last two Orlando trips, I refused to ride it because its high-speed rattling gave me a headache.

The front may actually be the smoothest part of the ride (although Ive heard the back is too). IMO, its not much difference since the refurb. The ride still throws you around. In fact, every time I get off of the Hulk, I'm dizzy and feel like I just went 12 rounds Muhammad Ali. But I just can't resist!!!

Hmmm...interesting. Never thought about that, but it's a good point. If it leans left/right or front/back, the center will have less motion. I guess the only time that wouldn't be true is if the entire thing went up/down. But it moves around so much, I guess I never noticed the difference (probably been in nearly every seat of every row...it's on the top 10 list for all my kids).
