Ok. On my latest visit to Cedar Point, I went on MF, and when I went for the front seat queue, the attendant closed it off, and the back seat was the only one avaliable. And I rode MF in the back seat, and for me, the back seat on MF was a frightening experience. It was so frightening that at the end, I had to take a 35 minute break just to relax and get rid of the chest pain. The front seat on Superman Ride Of Steel at Darien Lake wasn't so frightening, but fun. I wonder what Cedar Point was thinking about this seating policy: If the front queue is full, choose another seat. Someone will probably die if this continues.
It's not uncommon for them to close off the line for the front (or the back for that matter) early. This allows all the people in line for the front or the back to cycle through as they cycle through the remaining guests in line. It also keeps them from having to send trains with only people in the front/back because people feel they deserve to ride there because they have waited the extra time. After the front seat line has diminished, if there still is a line to ride, the first seat is usually available on a first-come, first-serve basis. The first-come, first-serve seat rule (there is already someone waiting here, choose another seat rule) has been in place on MF since the ride opened. To my surprise, they haven't been enforcing the "early front seat line closing" rule nearly as much as I remember in past years. *** Edited 9/19/2005 2:39:33 AM UTC by DBCP***

If MF frightened you to the point of chest pain then you need to not get back on any coaster untill you see your family physician. Chest pain after a ride of any type is indicative of trouble and needs to be dealt with accordingly. Please don't delay something like this as I'm sure you and your family (along with your coaster riding family here at PB) want you to be around to enjoy the thrills for a long time to come! :)

Is that a question? Because I don't see a question mark. I see random capitalization and general disregard for punctuation. Communicate like a human or go elsewhere. Have a nice day.
