Best Seat on Magnum

Which seat has been the best for you? This coaster differs dramatically from seat to seat. More so than most other coasters.

So, after riding this in the Ejector Seat on Monday I will have to say the ride was somewhat ....hmmm.....PAINFULL!!!

I am sure it would have been better without the lapbar wrenched down on me ever so tightly.

Ejector has great air, but does give a rough ride too. I like the seat right behind it, or infront of it. Try the first row of the second car, or the second row of the first car. I think they both give awesome air, and a smoother ride.

Also, try the first row on the last car. It gives great floater air and it yanks you down the first two hills.

I would say the first row of the back car is the best, I think its 61. For all the reasons that Eric said plus I think its a lot more smoother than the "ejector seat."

The back of course! Its the only seat that makes you have that fealing in your stomach when you go down the first drop. And the back brings much more air time than any other seat on Magnum.

During my last few trips, I've taken a liking to 62 and 63. 13 is still my favorite seat, but anything toward the back makes the drop much better, its sometimes smoother, and the air is still awesome.

Well when I come up I'm going to have to try to get on good ole Maggy 3 times. 1-3, 6-1, and 6-3 sound good. Do all of the rides have assigned seating or is it just Millie and Twisted Wicker.

Nope, most rides have free-for-all seating. 1-3 usually has the shortest line too! :)

Sorry I didn't mean assigned, but I rather meant seating where they only let one set of riders to get in.

Matt's answer still applies.

Put me down as another ejector seat fan.

Ejector all the way! I agree that it always has the shortest wait. That is because it is usually hidden by the people waiting to ride the front seat.

I agree with that Ralph, erm, Chris. During my Magnum mini-marathon, I probably got in 2 laps in 1-3 in the time it took some people to get the front seat.

1-3 had great airtime but hurt like the dickens! It was very shaky but I guess the airtime made up for it. I'm going to try another ejector seat next time I go.

If you like riding Wicked Twister in the back, does that mean you like to get screwed in the rear?

I think the secret to riding 1-3 is to make sure that the lapbar is not plush against your lap. Leaving a little space tends to make for a less painful ride.

Goldmember lost his manhood in an unfortunate smelting accident. Others can lose their manhood in an unfortunately tight roller coaster lapbar.

Always try to leave some space in the ejector seat.
