Theme Park Thursdays feature photos from one of our theme park adventures in the past.
Disneyland Railroad Seating Configuration (2005)
When I first visited Disneyland in January 2005, one thing that really surprised me was the configuration of the seats on the Disneyland Railroad. Having my entire Disney theme park experience up to that point being focused on Florida, where the seats face forward on the Magic Kingdom's version of the ride, I found it silly that we were forced to look out one direction.
Walt Disney World Railroad Seating Configuration (2009)
Granted, Walt Disney World's take doesn't feature such elements such as the Grand Canyon and Primeval World dioramas, so there isn't need to direct your attention to one side of the tracks… but still, it's just silly. Real trains aren't configured that way!
It's so you don't see what's going on behind you (drunk cast members, dead bodies, discarded trash, piles of money…)
