Do you like riding in the front, middle or the back?

[Thrillrider15]

Where do you prefer riding a roller coaster? The front, the middle, or the back? In my opinion statement, I like the back the best.

[Stitch]

Back is my favorite because you get the most constant speed and you aren't waiting for it like it the front.

[Thrillrider15]

I like the back because you get more airtime, you shoot off the crest of the chain hill, and you don't get beaten up by the wind.

[Gnome]

Depends, on B&M"s prefer tha back, but rides with air time I enjoy the back more.

Mostly the back because it sometimes gives more forces than the front.

[Thrillrider15]

Ya. I just don't like the wind in my face.

[ebl]

I like the front because I like the unobstructed view from there.

the back of X is pretty cool. but i love how the front of goliath just sort of dangles over the drop.

Back

[coasterfreak11]

I like it in the back... he he!

[tinkerbell]

Well I'm going to be different here...middle.

I say that for 2 reasons~

1. The very first seat (or very last) always have longer waits, so I don't usually sit there.

2. And everything else left is in the middle.

 

It kind of depends on the coaster though.

I like it in the rear of the train.

 

huhuhuhuhuh I said I like it in the rear!

 

Katie, who should get a life.

[phazan]

i didnt vote because for me it really depends on what type of roller coaster it is.

[socalMAN123]

My opinions:

 

Front- You get a great view of things 9/10

Middle- A great place for beginning coaster riders to start 8/10

Back- The most airtime and forces you'll get on any coaster 10/10

Depends on the coaster.

[ShoubraStreet74]

Usually the front. I like having an unobstructed view of whats ahead.

[andrea]

I like the middle,I guess because I feel like it's less scary.

[Mr.Six]

It really depends on the coaster. Usually on an inverted coaster I prefer the front because you can't see much from the other rows. But on such inverts as Silver Bullet, I prefer the back. It makes the ride feel a tad bit faster.

On X I prefer the back inner seat; but the front seat provides a great view. But if its just a sitdown coaster it usually is whatever has the least wait.

I'm usually a backseat person, but a lot of coasters lately I've found to be better Front Seat rides...especially the Intamins.

 

As for airtime, almost nothing can beat Phoenix in the Front seat. That's the coaster that convinced me to start trying front seats on other rides!

[DATman]

I prefer the front on most Intamins, and definitely the Disney rides, so that all the theming is unobstructed. B&M's are great in the back, except for Scream, which is cooler in the front, as are Fire and Ice. Giovanloa's are definitely better in the front. Gerstaluer, I sadly haven't been on any, DAMN THEM FOR SO FAR NOT PUTTING A BOBSLED IN THE US! Wild Mouses, the front! arrows, they all hurt, so the front eases the pain more. Woodies, it really depends

Front for sure, however, some coasters are more fun in the back.

[CoasterFanatic]

If it wasn't designed by John Miller or Herb Schmeck I will take any non-wheel seat.

 

With steel coasters it is totally dependant on the ride.

[F1shy]

Sort of depends I guess... (here I go again)

 

Great American Scream Machine at SFOG, I think the front is the best for first-timers... there you'll get some great airtime... then, ride GASM in the back... it's even better.

 

Georgia Cyclone... in the back... airtime + jerking around doesn't feel that great, but it's still a great ride in the end.

 

Ninja at SFOG.. how about nowhere. I'm not gettin on that ride... ever... again.

 

Deja Vu... Probably the front for that one... you get the highest drop going backwards, the sensation is so odd, but really cool.

 

All launch coasters... probably the front. The wind blowing on your face, and getting all teary-eyed because you're going so fast... ah, it's great.

 

Emm... that's all I can think of at the moment...

[Jeff128319]

depends on the coaster. but most of the time i take the back.
