    That turned out to be easier than I thought. For those who may be wondering, the east corridor uses up the space that was formerly several eateries including the Town Square Café; Aladdin's Oasis opened as a restaurant (and sort of is again--you can get your Fantasmic! (and, soon, parade) meal package meals there); and Tomorrowlanding occupies some (all?) of the space of the former Lunching Pad.

    Think about when the scenes in each attraction take place...

    Soarin' ends with Disneyland at Christmas (complete with parade), Carousel of Progress's final scene is around the Christmas tree, and the World War II/Rosie the Riveter scene of The American Adventure takes place on Christmas Eve (with a Crosby-like crooner heard on the radio)

    Since you guessed Seasons of the Vine, you can take the next one!

But I may also have been thinking that "it's a small world" is the only one that operates entirely on a level grade.

    Since I can't remember, please jump in with another one.

    Come to think of it, Disneyland has no boat rides that have rider restraints (Jungle, Pirates, Rafts, Twain, Columbia, Canoes, Splash, Storybook Land, "it's a small world", Subs), nor on past ones (Motor Boat, Keel Boats).

    DCA does, however, on its only boat ride (Grizzly).

    I still think it's weird that MK added lap bars to Splash Mountain. Although it obviously prevents guests from standing up, it seems like it could create issues to have riders locked in a free-floating boat. If something should go wrong (though unlikely in the relatively shallow flume), that could lead to a very bad situation; at least the GRR seatbelts are easy to unlatch

    It is the only one where everyone always sits facing the same direction. On Rafts, the rider is free to stand (or sit, in some spots) facing any direction; on RR, riders may face forward or to the engineer's right; on Monorail, the rider may face either to the pilot's right or left (main cabins), or backward or inward (nose and tailcones; on Jungle Cruise, riders face inward from either side, outward in either direction (from the middle seats) or forward (from the back), depending on where they sit.

    Think about how the layout of the rides relate to their surroundings
