What is *so* special about 5-1 or 5-2 ????
When MF first opened, the "word" was that Intamin designed the ride around car 5, and therefore it was the "secret car" - giving great amounts of airtime, and being the most intense.
I definitely think 5-1 is the second or third best on the train, but I find the back to be a little more intense. The reason I like car 5 is because it has a great mix of intensity and airtime.

Steuks!!
It's also where the catchwagon connects to the train.

Personally I love the view on Millennium Force and for that reason I'd take the front over any other seat. Not just the view the surrounding park, and lake, but the track. Seeing it curve down on the first drop, not knowing where the bottom is untill you get there. What a rush!

Here are what I have found the better seats to be.
1-1 and 1-2.12 being the ejector seat. Nice view and everything, but ejector air is not the Force's forte and feels slow and week up there.
9-2. The first drop is indescribable, it feel like your falling forever and so fast. Nice pop out of the seat too. Good air over the cammelbacks and this year you can rely feel the air over the bunny hop. Most Intense seat
5-1,5-2- In theory this car will reach the fastest speed of any of the cars. Intense and the best pop out of the first I feel. The floater air is the best here and I don't touch my seat for 5 or 6 seconds.
The biggest thing I have noticed this year as opposed to last is the air on the bunny hop. 92 is really making a challenge this year for my address, 51R Millennium Force, Sandusky Ohio.

The back on MF is very intense. This past Sunday, i sat in the last seat. At the bottom of the first hill, i almost blacked out totaly. I could barely see it was so bad. I never get that in the front, sometimes it gets a little red/fuzzy in the front though.
My vision got fuzzy for a split second on the turn towards the first tunnel. I forget which seat though. I thought, "Wow, that was cool!" :) and enjoyed the rest of the ride.
