May be the case now, I don't know; when I was there with my parents, we grabbed a table. I went off to IJ-TOFE while they relaxed for Fantasmic to start in about 30-45 minutes. A couple in their early 20's invited them to share their table, which had the better view. When I got back, we all talked until show began and we all watched Fantasmic together. Thing is, I wouldn't be able to tell you their names, but it was real pleasant DLR memory meeting those people.amy wrote: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.

Re: Least comfortable ride seats
Yeh, I met a few back on Dec 4th....



Re: Least comfortable ride seats
I'd have to vote for Haunted Mansion. It's probably one of my favorite rides, but the seats are just not comfortable. I'm not super tall (6 feet), but I can't sit upright because of the overhanging top.

The other tall people on the forum don't seem to mind the doom buggies ~ I think the vehicles are ok until they turn backwards when you are falling out of the attic. I guess I just don't curve in the same manner as the buggydougfies wrote:I'd have to vote for Haunted Mansion. It's probably one of my favorite rides, but the seats are just not comfortable.

I'm taller than 6 feet and I have never had any problem in the doombuggies for the HM or the PM.dougfies wrote:I'd have to vote for Haunted Mansion.

Re: Least comfortable ride seats
Maybe it's just me, but I need to bend my head down, which gets a little uncomfortable. Maybe my seated height is taller than average???
I particularly feel it when going down hill backwards into the graveyard.

Re: Least comfortable ride seats
I don't know if it is the seats or the ride itself, but Dinosaur at Animal Kingdom kills me. I get jerked and bounced around so much I feel like my stomach is going to come out of my nose or my brain is going to end up in my stomach.

Re: Least comfortable ride seats
I think that is more due to the motion of the attraction itself rather than the ride vehicle. It was much worse in different parts of the vehicle than others, the back corner was the worst!MoonPet wrote:I don't know if it is the seats or the ride itself, but Dinosaur at Animal Kingdom kills me.

I literally felt like I was bouncing off the seat; I could see why there were seatbelts. In the photo they snap during the ride I looked so irritated and annoyed.

Re: Least comfortable ride seats
I thought I was going to be bounced out of the vehicle entirely! It was really rough. But then I braved it again a few days later and it was so much better not being in the back!MoonPet wrote:Hmm . . .

Re: Least comfortable ride seats
Honestly, I think Dinosaur was far more jerking/bouncey than IJ-TOFE which uses the same ride vehicle.

I think Indy is a bit smoother too ~ plus I actually enjoy the Indy ride more because there is more scenery to look at along the way...plus that bridge and all that fire is just coolmindflipper wrote:Honestly, I think Dinosaur was far more jerking/bouncey than IJ-TOFE which uses the same ride vehicle.

Re: Least comfortable ride seats
I think Dinosaur is a bit cheap because they keep it in the dark so they could save $$$ on making any scenery. At least IoA's Jurassic Park is mostly outdoors and in the sunlight.Amy wrote:I think Indy is a bit smoother too ~ plus I actually enjoy the Indy ride more because there is more scenery to look at along the way...plus that bridge and all that fire is just coolmindflipper wrote:Honestly, I think Dinosaur was far more jerking/bouncey than IJ-TOFE which uses the same ride vehicle.

But you get wet....really wet on Jurassic Park, and you stay blissfully dry on Dinosaurmindflipper wrote:I think Dinosaur is a bit cheap because they keep it in the dark so they could save $$$ on making any scenery.
