[TwingleMum]

How many seat are there across? Is the inside seat better?? Outside?? Is the view the same for everyone??

There are 4 to a seat, you have a better view from the inside seats of course but the outside seats have a more intense ride experience. Just a matter of preference. I have sat on the inside and outside of the ride and I prefer the outside a little more just for the fun ride

Don't you mean four to a row? Four in a seat would be WAAAAAAAY too crowded for me.

Just asked DH and he said the middle two seats are the best.but he also said their is not that much difference apart from you dont get the side views in the middle two.
And yes,its four in a row

I wondered why it was a little tight

And you think they have trouble w/people fitting in seats now??

Ends are better for the analytical types who want to know how the ride works. You can get a really good view of the other vehicles moving on the kuka arms, see how the transitions to the screens are done, etc. I'm surprised Uni didn't make the benches a little "deeper" or put something on the sides to prevent that.

I got squirted directly in the eyes when I rode the left outside seat. I was not happy.

Yuck! What squirts something? Is it the spiders?

Yup...bad spiders.

During soft openings, I seemed to getting a lot wetter in the middle seats than the outside seats.

I don't think I really have a preference though.

You avoid most spider spit on the right outside seat. That is a great seat though if you want to look down to see the Kuka arm in action (astronomy tower is a good time to look down to see it). Interesting to see too that the lower level access doors are all themed to the scene as well.

Thanks everyone!! I'm trying to figure out how to arrange our family. Do you think a 6 yr old could do it?? Mildly brave? Went on Splash Mountain & Mission Space but wouldn't go on Expedition Everest. He says he wants to wait to see what older DS & I think before he goes on. He is a huge HP fan. Goes around house in costume riding his broom playing quidditch all the time. Got Lego HP last week & hasn't stopped playing it.

He'd probably be okay if he's a big HP fan and you played it up as an adventure with Harry but really emphasized the "it's pretend" part. Some parts, like the dementors, could be pretty scary for a kid who's not real clear on the different between pretend and real.

Hello,

Another thing you should know is that the loading for the Forbidden Journey ride (and for the Rip-Ride-RockIt ride) takes place on a moving conveyor belt, presumably to make the unloading-loading process more efficient.

Your family should have no problem getting into their "assigned seats."

Thanks Ink~ I'll try to play up the pretend aspect. I'll also let him know its alright to hide his eyes
