Nrthwnd Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 I usually/always pick the third seat of our Coaster here in Vancouver. And in other coasters, I'd usually pick in front of, the middle of the train. Just me. I am happy there. Front seats are always a nice Plus. I enjoy seeing ahead, and (sort of) knowing what I'm heading into, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schrecken Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 I haven't been in the back seat of a woodie (save for Lightning Racer earlier this summer) in ages because of my back. But in the past I was a dedicated back seat rider on most coasters (save for those where having the front seat visuals, like on a suspended, really enhances the ride), and I liked the back seats on most woodies. Lightning Racer wasn't bad at all in the back (I rode in the middle car, not the very back), and actually it I think it may have been better there than anywhere else. But if you are worried about roughness, the very front seat (or the front of the 2nd row of seats) is normally the safest bet. However, some coasters are just rough anywhere - I found my last ride on Wildcat at HP (same trip as my back seat LR rides)to be a jack-hammering mess even in the very front. I can't imagine what it would be like in the back, and on a "wheel seat". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixflagsgadvguy1000 Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 It really depends on the coaster, but for my favorite wooden coaster (SFGadv's El Toro), hands down, 100%, without a doubt, the very back seat. AMAZING! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djboss302 Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 I've always liked the front seat, but I guess I'm the minority here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coastergenius250 Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Haven't been on alot of woodies but..... Cornball Express in the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJLehto Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Well, for me the very last row. BUT I'm a masochist and actually like a rough woodie, so I enjoy the getting beat up. Also airtime tends to be great back there, like Grizzly at KD...wouldn't think anything of it but had some major air back there! Of course the front is smoothest but if I want smooth, well that's nice but steel exists for a reason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
