So I honestly thought this DIS blog was going to address the topic in the title. But nope, it would appear it was written by a DisneyWrld snb who thinks Flrida is the only place where Disney exists.

Well, I went on Disney coasters when DisneyWorld was still a swamp. Well, to be more specific, I went on a Disney coaster because there was only one - the Matterhorn, prior to 1971. So HA!
OK, while I have been to Tokyo DR and DL Paris and think I might be at Shanghai DL later this year, and ignoring Hong Kong DL like everyone else does , let's talk about the American Disney coasters.
For WDW I agree with the blog writer, although the biggest coaster where it makes a difference is BTMRR.
So for DLR...
BTMRR, same as WDW - sit in the back row. Just do it and don't ask questions. I promise you that is best.
Space Mtn - same as WDW, the front row is nice and probably best, but if you are like me your eyes will be watering once you get going and the cool air hits you right in the face. So anywhere is fine.
Matterhorn - really, it does not matter very much. Being in the front is slightly nicer just so you can see a bit better, but the ride is the same no matter where you sit.
Incredicoaster - It is fun to be in front, and worth it do it on occasion. But sitting near the back is better. Not hugely better, but better for when you go up that second hill. The front is better for the loop though.
Goofy's Sky School - Really! Does anyone ride that? OK, if you do ride it, and you can fit into those godawful small seats without bruising your knee caps, it still does not matter where you sit.
Gadget's Go Coaster - I have no idea. Ask a 3-year-old.
