So I guess the real question is, is it the seat itself that is uncomfortable or the ride that makes it uncomfortable. Because splash mountain would be up there since the seat is hard wet plastic, lol

Wet, yes, but I don't think Splash is as uncomfortable as some other rides because, while the back is hard, it's leaned back enough that your back isn't stiffly upright, and it's curved. I'm pretty sure the seat is farther off the floor than other boat rides, as well.

Goofy's Barnstormer!
The back of the seat is very hard and oddly shaped. I was sore after being jerked around on that ride.

Then let's hope they change the ride vehicles and not just repaint them when it changes to The Great Goofini.

For those of you who don't like Splash Mountain's seats, lap bars are going to be thrown into the mix when it re-opens after the current refurb. Let's see how this turns out!

I was going to say Fantasmic! but that is not a ride so I think I will go with Goofy's Barnstormer. At least Barnstormer is a very short ride!

You have a point though, Fantasmic is not comfortable seating ~ But at least WDW's Fantasmic has seats, unlike DL :(

Depends upon where you are located. I sat a table & chairs in the outdoor dining area of a restaurant there in NOS (the name escapes me at this time). We had a great view of it all!

Wow, I'm guessing that will make it a little more difficult to get in and out of the log :shock:

That might be the case, but you have to be lucky enough to have dinner ressies at the right time to be able to sit there and enjoy it. I think there might also be some sort of dessert/viewing plan?

I didn't even think of this one, but you're right. I know it's designed mostly for kids, but seriously, this one is just not comfortable.
