Do you like to ride DejaVu in front or back also wing or middle seats? Mine is the Front middle seat. I love seeing all the footchoppers and looking straight down on the first lift!!!

I like the front middle. I love seeing Raging Bull upside down through the cobra roll and looking straight up and down, and seeing all those people watch you!

I have never been on DV because both times I was there it was shut down and the one day I watched it valley out as there was a line and everything. I was going to get a ride, but the ride "broke".

Definaly the front because you can see everything! You feel like you will run out of track when you go up the 2nd tower! ITS IS UNEXPLANNABLE!!!

yeah... i definately agree with you that it feels like you're going to run out of track on the second tower! that is such an amazing feeling in the front middle (1a)!

I also like the sudden "rush" when the ride just suddenly drops you down the first tower, and the second one too.

I like looking over my sholder to the wing seats and see my sister as white as a ghost :)

Someone explain the seats, they seem very awkward... why would Vekoma do that?

Thanks, I'm still confused why they wouldn't just make a '4 across seater'.

I love the back outside seats on Deja Vu. You get the most of the first drop straight down. And the outside gives you a feeling like your not secured. I love it.

I always have to give a couple tries each time I go when the lines are shorter because I still cant decide for sure. I like the back outside the most right now, especially at night. Not sure what it is but theres something about that ride that I love at night. I really like being dropped and getting that feeling that you are kinda being dragged or pulled along (but in a smooth manner).

I think they did it just to make it so you could see better... I'm not sure, it makes you feel like you're more open... I guess it's kind of hard to explain. It's awesome though! :D

DV sounds like an awesome ride. It looks like I'll have to catch a ride on it this year so I can actually *ride* in those seats. Hopefully it won't valley again... or maybe I'm just bad luck!

I like the front middle the best cause when you go over the cobra roll going backwards it feels like you get fllung over the end and pulled down because the rest of the train is already speeding up while the front is in the cobra.

Seeing how I've finally ridden this coaster front and back, I go for the back. And I don't see any point to sitting in the middle, unless you want to stair at a big "Keep legs back" sign the whole ride. :lol:

The only "good" part of the ride is the second tower drop in the front car, in any other seat the ride blows in my opinion (iv'e ridden it in every car so that's just my two fitty).

about the V-shaped seating... I wonder if it would be impossible to have 4-across seating. Just look at V2, it's only 2 across. But I really have no idea.

For those of you like me who haven't ridden yet, the rows are numbered 1A, 1B, 2A, 2B, 3A, 3B, etc. Row A has seats right next to eachother in the middle, Row B has seats on the outside, 1 on each side.

Also note that because row 5A is closet to the exit ramp, it is the handicapped row. I was about ready to board 5A with my cousin when 4 handicapped people in wheelchairs came and got on and we had to wait through 2 ride cycles. When we were finally seated, it started raining and it was shut down for the day. But I'm riding it 2004 no matter what!

I like the front middle the best but row 8B on the left side of the train is cool too. The drop is much better than it is in the front row. I like the bigger drop going straight down forwards than falling backwards. It just feels cooler to me. Other than that, the front is better.
My Top 5: 1)TTD, 2)Millennium Force, 3)Raptor, 4)Deja Vu, 5)Raging Bull

Back, no questions asked. You hang more, and have more weightlessnes on the drop. Also, you litterally get forced backward into the loop. If your skinny, the shoulder harness leaves an inche or so of space where you go from your harnes, to mid air, to the back of your seat on the drop .

I prefer the front-middle seats, because they are the best seats to experience Deja Vu's 90 degree drop!
