The difference between the front of the train and the back of the train is the instantaneous speed of the train at the point where the vertical component of the ride's motion changes direction...that is, when your seat goes over the crest of the hill.
For the first three hills, the train loses speed as it goes up, and gains it back as it goes down, and the back of the train will be moving fastest over the hill peak. The return hills, though, are so short, and the train is so long, that the *lead car* is actually going faster at the hill peak. At least that's the theory. :)

You boys want some real ejector, hop on El Toro.. the whole TRAIN is ejector, with much better restraints.
But, as it goes for Maggy.. I'ma fan of the middle seat, last car.. smooth on top of tons of airtime.. delicious.

We're talking ejected...talk some extra calcium and vitamin D because your bones might break in half kind of ejected.
Third row on magnum seriously hurts my girlfriend.
I frankly think the very last car very last seat on Mavie is the greatest ejector seat to date!
ask me for my facebook.
I'd say Magnum's 1-3 is pretty close to that.
Quote from a Corkscrew ride op, "And Dragster is down again"
I rode in the back and the ejector seat on Magnum yesterday. I would say that the back (2nd to last car; back row) is by far better. Its smooth and still gives off air. The 1st drop is incredible!
The ES was rough and painfull and not fun at all.
