Splash Mountain - How many to a log?

[SplashMo]

My last few trips have been to WDW so I forget how many are to a log on Splash?

 

[caimakale]

Six...

 

[SplashMo]

Thanks!!!!

Technically they can fit two in the back row making for a total of seven. But one in the back has to be a child and I rarely see it done that way. We had seven in our group this summer - five were teens - and they would only let us do six to a log.

so is it 1,2,2,1...4 rows

There are no rows...it's one person to a seat, with little seat backs dividing everyone. Except for the last row that was mentioned already where you can sit side by side with a child.

Splash Mtn:

At WDW - four rows per log, two per row
At DLR - six rows per log, one per row with extra big seat in rear for child

- WDW has wider logs, shorter in length

Space Mtn:

At WDW - three rows per ship, one per row, with two ships connected for six total riders
At DLR - three rows per ship, two per row, with two ships connected for twelve total riders

- DLR has wider ships, similar length

I just re-read my post above and realized how confusing it is! I must have still been half asleep when I posted it. Sorry about that!

I did forget to say the words "individual seating" but I did not forget to say "one per row" which is...uhhh...individual seating.

Though when you get stuck in the back next to your child you get REALLY wet because you're "hanging out" to the side of everyone in front of you = no one really blocking much of the water!

Ha, good observation. I ride "single rider" a lot, and they almost always put me in the very back seat. I never show up on any on-ride photos because I am always cowering behind the person in front of me to avoid getting wet

Technically 9....3 in the back if one is a child

 

[Disneyfreak616]

but 6 for DLR

I don't remember ever getting any thing other than a little wet

It definitely depends on where you're sitting and the other passengers in your log (that sounds weird lol). There have been times where I escaped with only a few droplets, and other times that I was drenched to the bone. In my experience, the heavier the load, the more soaked I get.

Very true, if the front is heavy the log plunges in quite a bit.

If you are on the back seat watch out too. If the log is tail heavy, when you go up a lift, the tail sets extra low and water comes up through the floor, it will soak your shoes.

Yeah, I was drenched when I went with ds last time. I swore up and down I would never ride in the back again (I hate being wet in regular clothes!).

We've only gotten a little wet riding in the back... but we always wear ponchos just in case... but its never as bad as the people in front of us!
