Talk about anything that has to do with the amusement park industry here.

Where do you like to sit? In the front, middle, or back?

I like the back! Image

It depends sometimes... I like them both equally. Back you get a bit more speed, and in front it looks awesome cause you can see everything. Basically... I think I prefer the front, although I ride in the back row most of the time since the line is shorter.

It basically depends on the ride. Most rides would be back, but some are front like, Deja Vu, V2, SSR, and Iron Wolf.

I just go to the shortest line, it doesn't really matter to me.

I agree. It allr really depends on the ride. If it's uncrowded and you can re-ride, then that is the only time I don't really care.

I feel the same way, 1:3 on Viper is the best seat. I'll always be in that row.

Almost always the back row. Front row is good on batman and DeJaVu. Otherwise, it's all about airtime and you can't get any more than the back row.

I like to try front and back on every ride and then just go where ever, mostly i go on front because i prefer having the view then air time.

I am normally a middle person. I have only front row expirence with Raging Bull, and Back row expirence with Demon. I basically choose the shortest line.

I prefer Iron Wolf in the front row; Raging Bull, Demon, and Superman in the back row. The rest of them it doesn't really matter for me.

Here, I'm give you my list at SFGAm.

Doesn't matter where I sit coasters: Whizzer, RC, Viper, Am E, IW

For V2, it has to be the front because I like the spiral so much more than the straight track.

For D Vu', it has to be the back because I like the first tower so much better than the second. It also has to be a B seat, or I get really upset.

For BTR and SUF, it's usually the front for the fact that the line is just usually shorter especially for SUF.

For RB, it has to be the back for the reason of the first drop.

For Demon, it's usually the back for the fact it seems rougher in the front.
I can't believe I have so much criteria for myself. :shock: You never really think that I'm going to go here, and here for this ride. You just go.

Raging Bull is definately a back row ride.
There are two schools of thought on V2 though, sit in front and enjoy the spiral spike or sit in the rear and get some awesome airtime.

Deja Vu I like either or, BTR is best in row 1.

I think Front is for the braver people and the back is for the people who are sorta cowardly or just bored and they went back there OR it was the only seat left

I prefer the front if its not a bad wait but if its packed and I've waited forever then I go wherever.

I say back row all the way. You get a lil extra air time on hills.
