Best Splash Mountain Seat

[maloned]

Which Row and Seats get the least wet on Splash Mountain?

the back ( I forgot if it is right set or left I think you want to be the first one in )

I think the back left is best. The people sitting on the right get splashed from other logs' drops as the ride begins, and there are more shooting jets on the right.

We always seem to get the front seat, and get soaked. Even the first couple smaller hills. They don't bring the water up to your head, but it comes in over the front of the boat. Our feet were soaked last week.

Definitely not the right side! There’s also a waterfall where people routinely get backed up toward the end. The right side gets the brunt of it.

Back/left is generally the driest but when they have the water canon going its a crap shoot.

I agree with the PPs. However weight distribution is a factor as well. More weight in the front causes a larger splash on the drop which can get you soaked in the second row. Also time of year/ weather plays a role as they tone down some of the cannons when it’s colder.

Thank you everyone! Our family set in the two last rows and got out pretty well. It’s was cold today and the kids really wanted to ride it.

Grateful for this board and all the advise. Thanks.

I know it's too late but next time just wear ponchos and you won't have to worry about where you sit.

Ponchos.

I won’t ride in the front either, but I always wear a poncho. The seat is wet too, and the poncho keeps my shirts dry.

I think it really depends on weight distribution of the log. Also, if you are in just the "right" place when another log goes down the hill and they shoot off the water jets, you're, well, hosed! LOL. DH and I got soaked that way last year. On another ride, one of my sons and I were in the front, we ducked at the bottom of the hill and a wall of water went over us and into the faces of my DH and other son who were in the 2nd row. Awesome! Seriously it's a crapshoot, but like others have said, the right side gets wet more.

I always duck in behind whoever is sitting in front of me lol
It works lol

The best seats are in the front if you want to get wet

pretty much how we look every time we ride it.
my daughter's poncho is actually covering her face too.

I've never gotten really wet on Splash, and we've rode it tons of times. Certainly nowhere near as wet as some of the rides at Universal.
