Three Across

The new boats for IASW have three across seating vs. four across in the old boats. That lends credence to the "heavier guest" theory.

Sorry Hobie, you're wrong.....IASW always had three across seating, at least in Disneyland. Can't speak for WDW. Pirates has four across however. And we can (and I'm sure still can) fit 4 across if there's children in the group, but there's only ever been 3 adults per row.

My eyes must be going bad. I looked at some pictures of old boats and they sure looked like four across.

After looking at your picture I'm less than zero.

Those are temporary colors. Here's one that's had its vinyl wrapper removed.

Oh, how...lovely...

Is Disney focused on making people hurl before the ride, thereby eliminating the need for barfbags on the ride? Although, Small World doesn't really need barfbags...
