Ah, someone mentioned my name.

How special...

Lean forward when you say that!

;)

So, how many LoTers will it take to sink a log?

I'll be taking bets starting now.

I was there tonight as well. Also did Splash Mtn. single rider. Also noticed the same thing, but didn't want to ask. Around what time were you there? I rode at like 10pm.

That's very interesting to me...
When the child and I were there for the Tiki meet we rode splash..
the cm seated us in the front..
"Sir, if you dont mind, we'd rather NOT sit in the front seat. I know my son is short, but he'd really rather not."
The CM finds a couple of gals and puts us back in line. New CM takes his place.. I have no idea why.
"Sir, would it be alright if my son and I rode in the back?"
"sorry, I cant do that"

Okay, so the three logs ahead of us, had a mother and son in the back seat. One of them, they stopped, asked the child how old he was, 4, and he was then asked to move to another seat and put Dad in the back.

But when our log was loaded, a young couple up front, then the child, then me, they left the back seat open altogehter.
I'm confused.

Personally, I would have felt better being able to touch my child without trying to loose my teeth

So does this mean that Splash actually has a LOWER capacity now? Am I right in thinking that they added one seat in the back, so now that they don't load those two seats, they've lost one per log?

I was there until about 4pm.

No, they were still loading 5 people per log. The new logs have an added row which holds (or was supposed to hold) two people. "6 rows / 7 people" was the idea.
But, since the logs are now slightly longer, there could be fewer total logs running at once.
