What do you like or can fit in to better. The open air style cars or the boxy style cars. I really like the open air ones better beause of the more lose fit, when you are a big guy.

The Boxy ones like Son of Beast are horrible. I think that all cars should be like MF and Dragster.

I really like the open air ones.

The worst cars at CP have to be corkscrew and iron dragon. It's really hard to get in and out of those if you're over 5' 8".

I like the open air ones but find myself fitting better into box ones like magnum. I have some trouble in the trains for Mean Streak and Blue Streak just because of the middle divider.

Neither. The B&M speed coaster trains rule all. They're the safest as well.

Is a B&M speed coaster the same as a hyper? (e.g. Apollo's Chariot) *** Edited 6/10/2004 12:42:12 AM UTC by Erikjc***

That would be correct since all three B&M speed coasters are over 200 feet.

I must agree that Millennium Force's cars are the best of any roller coaster. I could sit in them all day! They are comfortable, yet open, and hold you in, all at the same time. I really like the way they look to, I think they have a really cool designe.

thank you.....and enjoy your record breaking ride on Millennium Force!

I prefer the open style, but i have to disagree with johnz that the "Son of Beast" seats are horrible. The seats are a little tight, but that is greatly outweighed by how awesome a wooden coaster this is. And was a nice follow up to its Big Daddy "Beast" The car that i have the hardest time getting into is Magnum. But, once i'm in, it's fine. I have yet to ride magnum this year and have recently lost a lot of weight so we'll see if i still have the same problems.

I would hope they hold you in. ;)

Although they don't hold you in the best, except maybe the superman coaster cars, they would prolly hold you in the best now.

I think the answer to this question seems quite obvious. Boxed in car still deliver a thrill but the open air are the best overall. I like how MF goes up the lift hill and you look down 300' and there's nothing beside you. TTD wouldn't be even half as the ride without the open air seats.

I really can't stand the SOB car's. There so tight and small so when you get into the car with long legs you have to put your feet up on that thing that the white lap bar locks down to. And for two years the ride has really gave be a hard betting, in the second part of the first helx is a vilt murder on my legs. It would be more fun if those lapbars are put in the middle and soft pads are put on the sides for your legs. *** Edited 10/13/2004 10:39:40 PM UTC by daniel smith***
