Best Seat?

Where are the best seats on the coasters @ CP? I know the ejector seat on the Magnum is awesome but which one is it? Any other seat advice will be greatly appriciated! :)

Front seat- all coasters. 'Gotta see what's next and lead the trains into it...

And also on RAPTOR, the rear right (passenger side) seat- do this one legs out and no hands on the drop: its well worth it.

Now that is Restaurant-Quality Lemonade!

My advice is to ride all of the rides up front, and then ride them all in the back. Once you ride them up front, you can see how many things you almost hit. Then in the back, instead of being pushed, you are being pulled. It's a whole new experience in the back. The back always feels like there is at least one more G than in the front.

Magnum: Seat 1-3. The Ejector Seat.

I thought you liked the left side on Magnum, so you hang out in the pretzel?

The ejector seat is the first train and third car right? If so why does it matter what train your on?

I never really had a front seat in any ride...Well maybe Wildcat or something, never thought much of it...To me a good seat is an empty seat.

I know Jeff but the reason I like the right side on the front and back seat is for the effects ontop of the second hill.

The best seat on a rollercoaster is the one with the shortest line.

Hey Dan, don't let Dave A. hear you say that you like the third row on every car on the Blue Streak. Oh, I'm sure he'll show up on this thread sooner or later to tell us why :)

As for my favorite seats:

The front seat of the first or last coach on Magnum (gotta love the legroom)

The front on Corkscrew

Back row on Raptor

Front seat of any coach on Mean Streak (I'm not riding over the wheels on that thing :))

Back seat right on Gemini - blue (nice transition out of 2nd turn)

As for the others, any seat is fine by me.

On Blue Streak, I now generally make it a point to sit in the FRONT seat of any car. Which is a shame, 'cause the ride is better in the third seat of any car. Trouble is, that's also where the lap bars tend to ratchet down unexpectedly and entirely too far halfway through the ride. If CP would adjust those things properly, I'd say seats #3, 6, 9, and 12 of Blue Streak. But the way things are now, I'll stick to #1, #4, #7, and #10.

On Gemini, I generally prefer the inside seats because of the...er...interaction with the other train. But if they are only running the red trains, try riding on the outside...that would be the left-hand side...where you can experience The Stairway headchopper on your way down to The Beam headchopper. 8-)

On Magnum XL-200, of course, the best ride is in the last row of the lead car. Short wait there, too. The front row of the second car isn't bad either, and you get more legroom there.

Corkscrew is a front-seat or front-of-last-car ride. My general preference is for the front. Just try to keep your feet on the floor!

For almost every coaster I like the very back seat (yes, even on the Mean Streak). The feeling of being flung over the first hill, especially on the magnum, is great. It makes the whole ride seem a lot faster and more intense. And the back of the Mean Streak feels like the whole ride is falling apart around you! The exception to the backseat rule for me is the Raptor because of the view.

The Raptor, BACK RIGHT!!!

On Mean Streak, the back seat is a decent place to ride provided you either bring a pillow or be very careful to keep your back away from the seatback. You can actually get a decent ride back there if you can keep from being beat into a pulp. Of course, the front seat on Mean Streak lets you examine the unusual track wear patterns caused by insufficient rail lubrication on the turns...

--Dave Althoff, Jr.

Exactly FireDragon. Back right on Raptor. And always ride magnum on the left side, it is such a trip to hang out on the pretzel. oh and especially and i do mean especially always always ride PT on the 6th car first train. HE HE

Welcome back Millennium Force riders...We all want to know how was your RIDE!!!!!

Im sorry I have not heard of that terminology, can someone tell me what the ejector seat is? or what it means?? Are you refering to the best seat to sit in for the best effects?

The more you ride it, the more you want it!

By ejector we mean it "ejects" you out of the seat, kinda like out of a fighter jet. The reason is this: When the train hits the top of a bunny hill, it wants to keep going up in that direction. The track instead requires that the train point back down, while your body continues to move up. This effect seems strongest in seat 1-3 because the train acts as a bit of seesaw, with the high point in the track as the fulcrum. Nose goes down, your end of the car goes up.

That's probably not the prettiest way to put it, but hopefully you get the idea.
