Subsonic Radio

Well folks, we have the "most comfortable ride seats" thread, so it seems we should have a thread for the opposite point of view!
I would have to vote for the Astro Orbiter. It is probably just because I am short, but I have a hard time getting comfy in that rocket. You have to be close enough to manipulate the controls, and until the ride gets going and you can lift your rocket into the air, you are smushed against the side. And then you get smushed again when you descend from orbit!

My vote is Space Mountain.

Space Mountain. Sure they are padded (somewhat) but that track is so darn bumpy it feels like you got a short massage after you get off the ride.

I have to agree--Space Mountain. Being "vertically challenged", I always feel like I'm about to fall out of the seat. Given how that ride is, it's a bit unnerving to not feel secure as the car is leaving the loading area. I can't ever get comfortable feeling so unnerved.

Most votes so far - Space Mountain. Wished we did this as a poll now.

There are only 4 opinions so far I don't think Space Mountain will win in the long run...

Astro orbiter, and in Disneyland the Matterhorn, I think I'm still chattering my teeth.

The Matterhorn seats aren't very comfortable, but I haven't been on them since they refurbished the trains...perhaps they added some padding?!

Hate to say it but The Great Movie Ride has some very butt numbing seats. You have to sit for 20+ minutes on the hard plastic seats of the vehicles. It isn't even padded for the Tour Guides, Gangsters and Bandits. Sure they don't have to sit for the entire ride but they are at GMR for anywhere from 6 - 10 hours a day. That's a lot of sitting.

Oooo, I can see those seats not being comfortable after that long of a day

Big Thunder Mountain I slip and slither around all over the place on that and fly through the air on some of the bumps, landings are not good.

Can't bring a seat cushion to work?

Like one of the hemorrhoid blow-up rings?!

Can't have anything on stage in front of the guests that is not Disney approved so no personal seat cushions. Besides, if co-workers can't keep track of which jacket from their costumes is theirs, I doubt they'd be able to keep track of cushions...

I was thinking something less embarrassing like a whoopee cushion...

Okay, I guess the alternative is the padded/cushioned underwear then...
