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!

Re: Least comfortable ride seats
My vote is Space Mountain.
Re: Least comfortable ride seats
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.

Re: Least comfortable ride seats
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.

Re: Least comfortable ride seats
Most votes so far - Space Mountain. Wished we did this as a poll now.

I don't think Space Mountain will win in the long run...-

The Matterhorn seats aren't very comfortable, but I haven't been on them since they refurbished the trains...perhaps they added some padding?!csquare77 wrote:Astro orbiter, and in Disneyland the Matterhorn, I think I'm still chattering my teeth.
Re: Least comfortable ride seats
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.

Re: Least comfortable ride seats
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.

Re: Least comfortable ride seats
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...mindflipper wrote:Can't bring a seat cushion to work?MadEye wrote:Hate to say it but The Great Movie Ride has some very butt numbing seats.

I was thinking something less embarrassing like a whoopee cushion...Amy wrote:Like one of the hemorrhoid blow-up rings?!mindflipper wrote:Can't bring a seat cushion to work?MadEye wrote:Hate to say it but The Great Movie Ride has some very butt numbing seats.

Okay, I guess the alternative is the padded/cushioned underwear then...MadEye wrote:Can't have anything on stage in front of the guests that is not Disney approved so no personal seat cushions.
