Which Soarin' Concourse to See Eiffel Tower Stand Straight?

[PSUGuy]

A little brain f@rt here, as I recall it the concourses are lettered A,B and C and if I wish to avoid the bending of tall objects in the end seats I should hold out for B, correct?

You want the middle concourse, middle seats. (Not sure if it's B but I'd assume so) The closer you are to either end the more warped it will be. We just returned from DL and sat in the middle concourse but ended up close to the edge and there was still some warping. Last year we got more central seats and the warping was much less. I'm sure it would be the same in WDW. I miss Soarin' over California!!

Yes, you want B. I've only ridden new Soarin once and I sat in B. Nothing looked warped.

There are 3 different screens (concourses), A, B, & C. Any of them will have the straight Eiffel if you are in the middle section of seats. I have asked to wait, which means you will skip a turn. My trip last week, I was 1 seat from the very end, and things were very bent. Mainly the Eiffel is the worst. Still a fun ride even from there.

Yes, B, and preferably in the middle. We've been on it so many times that we get a kick now out of seeing it warped.

Not sure if I agree with that. We have sat all over A & C (can't say for sure we've been in every seat, but a lot of them) and it definitely has distortion. Only B is really looking straight at the screen.

There are three theaters called concourses A,B, and C. They run independently of each other, 3 separate theaters with the same setup inside. Like 3 separate theaters in a movie complex, all showing the same show but on different screens in different rooms. They don't overlap. I thought they were identical. If you mean which section in the theater (doesn't matter if you go to theater A, B, or C) of course it would be the center section, center row.

I think there is some confusion.

I believe the OP was asking about which section of the theater and got terminology mixed up.

There are 3 concourses...A, B, and C. There are 3 sections of seats in each concourse, also labeled A, B, and C. Leave it to Disney to be confusing!

So...the concourse doesn't matter. It's the section of seats within the concourse that matters.

So the middle of the middle, of course. That's basic science.

Right...OP knew that, but couldnt remember which letter corresponded.

I was clarifying that it doesnt matter if you're in concourse A, B, or C. It only matters that you're in seat section B, regardless of concourse.

Thanks, all! Got it figured now. Last Oct we hit the new Soarin' version and all three times we were in the left most 2 or 3 seats on the extreme left 'bench'. I'm herding a party of 11 this Nov so I'm going to do all I can to assure the best experience possible. The bending effect was very distracting.

"B1" is always my request to the Flight Attendants(sometimes have to wait for the next Flight,but that's no biggie).
