Which rides only seat two in a row?

[darly2004]

We are taking our kids (9, 6, 20 mo) to WDW for the first time and will be hitting most of the big rides. For rides that we cannot take the baby on, we will be doing the child swap. My oldest has already told me she does not want to sit by herself. So, which rides can fit only 2 people in one row? I am assuming for child swap, we can't even wait in line with them to see how many can fit on the ride, correct?

You'll definitely be fine on:

Mission Space
Soarin
Test Track
Mission: Space
Star Tours
Tower of Terror
Dinosaur

Those all seat 3+ across

These rides definitely only seat in pairs:
Rock n Roller Coaster
Expedition Everest
7DMT

Space Mountain is only single seats. No one can sit with anyone else on that ride.

Kali has seats in pairs, but the boat is round, so you'll all be able to see one another.

I think Primeval Whirl and Big Thunder will allow 3 across if you're all small enough. Hopefully someone else will know for sure.

I can't remember if Splash has individual restraints or not.

I've never been on Stitch's Great Escape.

Since you're using the swap, one option is for you to go with one kid and then your husband take the other for the rides that only seat in pairs.

Stich is long rows of individual seats in a circle so you can sit your whole party in a row.

Splash is one lap bar. I think they will let you sit three across if you are small enough to fit.

Haunted Mansion lets 3 in the doom buggy too

Correct, but, OP was asking about rider swap. HM has no height requirement and is not eligible for rider swap.

Yes, I've sat with two kids and myself on both Big Thunder and Primeval Whirl.

The only two rides that come to mind are Buzz Lightyear's Space Ranger Spin and Toy Story Mania!, but that's because there are only 2 "guns". It really depends on the size of everyone and not the ride design. When DD was around the age of your two older children, she, DW, and I often rode together, including on Astro Orbiter and The Barnstormer (tho it was cramped). Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith only seats 2, but you have to be 48" tall to ride it.

Primeval Whirl is 4 (or5?) in a semi-circle.

Splash can fit 3 if they're small enough. They gave us, a family of 3, the option to sit together or 2+1. It's one lap bar, I think.

Yes, Splash has one long lap bar.

On Big Thunder you see three-across with two parents and a child all the time.

Just looked at my pics of Primeval Hurl and it's 4 seats.

does barnstormer count? I can't see that fitting more than 2 but it's low backs on the seats so it's not really riding alone..

Is this info still accurate?

Trying to help a family member who will be in the MK tomorrow alone with a 5 and 4 year old. She is trying to arrange FP+ right now.
