    Default Best Seats on Thrill Rides?

    What is your favorite spot to sit on the following attractions:
    Splash Mt.
    Space Mt
    BTMRR
    RnR
    ???

    My faves are in the very front of RnR and Space Mt.
    In the second row on Splash Mt.
    At the very back on BTMRR.

    Where do you sit?

    My exact thoughts!!
    Left side of the second row on splshm.
    The left side of them all is generally better!

    Front Row! And don't forget Expedition Everest - front row for sure! When the track breaks you can see the whole park if you are in the first row.
    Except:
    BTMRR and RocknRoller I prefer the back row.

    Splash mountain- Front seat
    Space Mt- Front
    BTMRR- Back for sure
    RnR- Front
    EE- Back seat

    On EE, the backseat is so much more fun I think, especially when you are going backwards.

    I, like most on here it appears, enjoy the back of BTMRR b/c of the smoothness and the quickness you generally get from sitting in the back seat of a roller coaster.

    But I'm curious why those that say the second seat on Splash Mountain prefer that? Do you get wetter? Stay drier? I haven't really noticed but Splash is my FAVORITE ride at the resort so I'm curious. Cheers!

    My Brother an i have discovered that the second row on splash mountain is the wettest. and as posted earlier, supposedly if you sit on one side, it is wetter still.

    P.S. Splash Mountain is my fave too!

    My fave spots are as follows:
    Splash Mt. - back
    Space Mt - back
    BTMRR - ANYWHERE!
    RnRc - FRONT!
    E:E - FRONT!

    I always keep my fingers crossed - I think I have ridden in all locations for most of the rides. I love them all!

    I'm a fan of the back row on all of these rides. I always felt that the back row is better on any type of ride I'm on.
