My daughter needs to know the approximate length of a Disneyland Splash Mountain log, front to back, for a school project. She's been able to find out just about everything else about the ride, but not that. Any ideas? Thanks!

Here is what I found on Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Splash_Mountain):

Log: Each log has a weight of 1 ton.
Magic Kingdom & Tokyo: 8-passenger logs (Side by side seating in four rows)
Disneyland: 6-passenger logs (single file) [Seven passengers is possible, because of large bench seat in last row]

There are other good links on the page, including the patent for "Amusement ride for traveling down a water chute with reduced splash - Patent #5,613,443"
