Splash Mountain -- How Wet?

[2tinksmom]

Just ask a CM to put you in the back. We always ask to ride in the front or middle of RockinRollercoaster because my 6yo DD is so small (just barely makes the height req.) she gets tossed around in the back. The CMs are happy to oblige!

HOT TIP: If you'd like to get soaked on Splash Mountain, request a seat up front.

It also says...If you want to get wet, try to sit up front or on the right; seats in the back recieve a smaller splash.

Less water in the back, huh? 2tinksmom had a point what is relevant in my case. We've got a 5 y.o. daughter. I imagine the back of that rollercoaster is a bit of a whipping experience. May be we should aim for the middle-left.

Something else to be aware of: the smell of the water. The water at Splash usually smells rather a lot like sour laundry, and if you get drenched, your clothes will retain the smell until you wash them. I always carry a little bottle of Febreze if we visit MK on a hot day; I just can't stand that sour smell.

We switched to wearing sport sandals at theme parks years ago; no more issues with wet shoes.
