I definitely think that this is usually true, but I know someone else has posted (
@rteetz?) that they've gone as SR and had not gotten seat 16.
I'm always a SR and have sat in seat 16 most times, but this weekend I actually got 1, 4, and 8. I guess it just depends on the groups in front of you and how many seats are down in that row (and sometimes they haven't asked for any SR).
Seat 1 on level 3 was the worst view in my opinion (I don't know why, but it just seemed worse to me than 16), seat 8 or 9 is the best as you're right in the middle of the screen. Haven't really noticed a difference in levels 1, 2, or 3 like with Soarin'. The difference in seats is not that extreme though (unlike Soarin'), obviously, since I've been willing to wait in ridiculous lines only to get seat 16 or 1
