What is the best seat on these certain coasters?

[Edward M]

I am going quickly through the park. I won't have time for re-rides on Nemesis. Which provides the best experience if you can only go once, front or back? Also, will Smiler be open by May 25?

May 25th is first day of the school holidays - nobody's going to be moving quickly through the park that day!

:shock: . Didn't know that. Well, looks like I'll be getting a fastrack.
Skipping Smiler too because lines will be off the chains.

That's why I go with ssil_furie and always get the back without queueing

Lightning Racer

Skyrush: If you wan't a smooth ride with less pain and airtime, then ride in the front. If you wan't extreme airtime and a very intense ride, then the back is for you. There isn't really too much of a difference in airtime depending on where you sit, but it is noticeable **especially** on the drop. <3

Fahrenheit: Back IMO. The drop is more forceful. That's really the only difference it makes.

Storm Runner: The front for great views, but little forces(Basically none on the top hat). The back for some pretty good floater on the top hat into the drop, and more extreme forces in general. Head banging might be an issue on that last twisty part btw. If you keep your head back then you will be fine.

Great Bear: Front just because it's an invert. Although, the pre drop in the back is quite forceful.

Superdooperlooper: Doesn't matter. Just ride it for the cred and nothing else. If you've already ridden it, skip it.

Lighting racer: Not much different. The drop is a bit better in the back though. Sitting in the front is only good because of the racing aspect.

just for Apollos Chariot, the back far left seat is the best seat on the ride. When it swoops down to the river you get an insane feeling of free falling since the track banks to the left as well

 

[mrfreezy]

for x2 at magic mountain; its one of those omg coasters; cause that will hurl you around; back feels alot faster; and front that first drop is **** scary since your just dangling for a few seconds while you wait for the train.

Tatsu; you have to ride front. but any spot is good.

Curse of Darkastle (still has rows )

Thanks everyone so much! You have been so helpful in my planning process!

 

[Hutch]

Alpengeist - Front. I felt like I was going to get my legs chopped off when I rode the front.

Apollo - Front left (said this earlier)

Griffon - Front, just for the first drop.

Nessie - The front has the most space and is a bit more comfortable than the other seats.

Verbolten - Front, mainly for the view in the indoor section.

But do the back on all of them if you have time for re-rides!

 

[Hutch]

Ooh I forgot about Curse of Darkastle. Doesn't really matter wear you sit. If you can you might as well try the front row.

 

[mistermister]

This doesn't really have to do with seats, but at Kings Dominion if you plan on going on Volcano more than once I suggest you go to it first thing in the morning. The line gets massive since the hourly capacity is so low, plus it breaks down fairly often. But, sit in the front if you can.

 

[CheeseBoy8]

Which Bizarro are you talking about - SFNE or SFGA? (Front on both either way...) Front on Skyrush, doesn't really matter on Tatsu, and (although I've never been on it) from what I hear, back on Leviathan.

 

[CPSFMMCW]

Apollo's Chariot: Front Far Left. Don't let anyone tell you anything different. Ridden the coaster more times than I can count and ridden every row and yet every time I ride front far left, I am amazed at how much better of a ride it feels when you're in that seat.

^ Back. :wink:

Prowler- Back (in the back you get some serious rapid whiplash on the turns, which is a good thing IMO)
Patriot -Back. I love the back on this ride. It seems so much faster. And plus the way you get dragged over the B&M pre drop is awesome is the back.
Mamba -Back. Back is always best on hyper and giga coasters.
Texas Giant -Back. Best back seat ride anywhere IMO.
