I'd prefer front most of the time, on a few ocasions I'll do the back.But anyway I end up in the front 95% of the time. 8)

My preferences:Deja Vu: front is awesome, but it's a REALLY long waitV2: definitely front no matter how long the waitRaging Bull: front is awesome, looking over that first drop is incredible and the g's are amazing, back is awesome too, when you get whipped over the first hill :shock:American Eagle forwards: back seemed scarier to me, front didn't seem scary at all....to me this one doesn't really matterViper: front is my personal favoriteIron Wolf: doesn't matter, front row can be cool...as well as back rowBatman: my breath was taken away the first time I did first row and the first time I did last rowDemon: front or back...not a real thrilling ride to begin with...but...shockwave I really liked front row but obviously that's one that you're not gonna be able to try this year.

Raging Bull: Back - You haven't ridden RB until you've ridden it in the back! You get so much more airtime than any other seat, and the first drop is amazing.Deja Vu: I've only been on Deja Vu once, and that was near the middle, but when I go again this season I'm gonna head for the front. I know you'll get a really good view.V2: Front - I personally like the sprial better than the straight side. In the front, it feels like your gonna fly right off the track!Batman: Front - It's breathtaking. The view is amazing!American Eagle: Back - One word: AIRTIME!Iron Wolf: Front - I like the front better because theres less headbanging for some reason. You also get a great view, as you would on pretty much any other coasterDemon: Back - That first drop is small, but in the back it's really fun!Viper: Back - Obstructed view, but awesome airtime!Whizzer: Wherever - You get the same effect in every seat.

A few years ago me and a friend made a decision to just ride in the front seat for all coasters. Before then, I had never ridden in the front seat on any coaster. All of them were great except for Shockwave, which was extremely rough. Normally I just take the next available seat, unless the line for the front seat is relatively short.

Heres a tip about riding front row on Deja Vu, usually row 1b which is still front row has a short line but is blocked by the 1a line. I usually ask everyone which row they are in line for and usually everyone says 1a, then ill ask to get to 1b and everyone usually lets me by and I get on Row 1b within 1 or 2 rides at the most. Ive actually seen them send Row 1b empty before because nobody sees that it is open.
Go Bulls!

I have always been a fan of the back especailly on Ragin Bull, Viper, Shivering Timbers, and Millennium Force......but I do know that on some coasters (Batman and Raptor) the front is the best place to ride. :?

v2-front, you spiral more and when the coaster stops at the back end , the view is spectacularbatman-back, you get whipped around on the inversions and the g's are crazy. at the end of the ride you dont know where you are.
