Best Seat and why

Which is the best seat on Wicked Twister? And why?

Although I haven't been on it, I've heard the back seats are the best. Something about being screwed in the back or something along those lines....

I believe people like being "screwed in the rear"...don't ask me why! :)

The front is great for the view and the launch. I stretch out my arms and legs and it feels like you're Superman, thus Superman: Ultimate Escape.

The Back is great because it is the only impulse to twist in the back. Before it was toned down, it was so intense and awesome because both shots in the back went the full length of the tower...let's just hope it returns to its original magnificence.

I also prefer the back for the intense twisting up the back spike. I haven't been on it since it was "toned down", but I can't imagine it's that less intense climbing that back spike considering how high it is to begin with.
My favorite seat the second to the last row.

My favorite seat, specifically is the back row, right hand side. I like it because you get the most spin and feel the most initial acceleration. If you want a view and twist, sit in the front left seat (especially at night). I don't even waste my time in the middle.

I never thought I'd say this but this is one coaster that is actually great in any seat. Front is my favorite, I love the visuals and I love being the first person to get that rush of air off the launches. Back was disappointing on the first and last launches cause it barely makes it up to veritcal, but those rear twists are intense (even in toned-down mode). But last time I went, we had a group of 3 and my two friends had never ridden it before, so the two girls rode together and I rode by myself but all in the middle of the train (altho nearer the front ... 3rd car I think) and it was still a great ride. Got twists on every launch that way (as opposed to no back twist in the front unless its going full speed, then the 4th launch you get some twist ... or no twist on 1st and 5th in back) and still got a nice rush of air. But front is still my favorite!!

Back seat definitely is the "money seat". I refuse to ride it though during it's "toned down" stage right now, but from what I hear, we don't have much longer to wait before it returns to its original glory.

I've changed my opinion... it's the second to last seat. Why? The line is shorter and the car in front of you twists out of the way offering a better view.

I agree with the second to last seat for the exact reasons Jeff just stated. Even toned down, I think the back is best. The front is definately a close second.

Just because you can't justify charging $3 for a Pepsi doesn't mean you can't charge $3 for a Pepsi.

I guess I'll actually have to change my answer too. Second to last seat. When I think about it, I try to get 15 instead of 16 for the pure fact of the wait. But basically, if you want any real twist up the back spike, then sit anywhere past 8-2. Sometimes sitting right in the middle is good because you get the action on both towers. Honestly, there isn't a bad seat. What you don't get on one tower, you're going to get on the other.

any seat! Cause the ride just plain kicks butt!

I intend to Live Forever! So far so good.

From the sounds of it, any seat while it's running would be good.

I agree with Jeff and Ralph Wiggum. Second to last row and the farthest seat in on the platform (right side). No wait, same view and twist thrill. :D

Count me in on the second to the last seat crowd. From the first time I rode it, I noticed that there was no kind of rush for anyone to get to that seat so I kept on getting in it. You get just as much of a twist as the back seat. (well maybe just a "slight" bit less but who notices anyhow?)

I would have to say the back seat. Not because the twist is great but because of the way it whips you up the curve of the back spike. I have never felt anything like it.

Aren't the last and second to last rows of seats on the same car? Thus, don't they get the same amount of twist?

Yes, since both seats are on the same car they don't twist independent of each other. Now take row 14 and 15. Since their in different cars, they twist independent of each other and the view is better from the rear of the two, row 15.

I was starting to think I was the only one who thought that way. The second to last seat has been my fav since I first to a ride in it. And, as Jeff stated, the line is way shorter..

But thats our secret.. shhhhhh

I fool so feelish...

Front seat by far. There is nothing like watching the end of the track come so close to u. Sometimes it feel like it could just go off of the end!

Wicked Twister is a great ride! Just because it looks simple soesn't mean it sucks! I wouldn't mind having it in my back yard!
