Raptor survey

My three favorites have already been mentioned but hey who cares. My first favorite is Row 8 far right. Now it give a great kickout at the top of the lift when the rest of the train is down the hill (go over to my webpage and I have a shot that is perfect example) Then with the heartline the effects in that back right are just awesome. My second favorite is Row 8 far left. The main reason I like this seat is the hint of airtime you get through the heartline line coming down into the straight away before the Cobra Roll. My third favorite seat is the Row 1 far right.

Front right hands down or up or something like that

Out of all the seats, I admire the middle far right. You may see the back of people's heads, but it seems smoothest and all you can see is the ground. It is soooo cool.

I love the front seat on almost any ride. I think it's mroe of a thrill being ABLE to see the support posts about to hit you. The sensation of being able to see the ground closing in faster an faster (on Maggy, especially) is really thrilling. Maybe after that gets dull, I'll move to the airtime seat which is normally the back.

My favorite seat on any steelie (except Magnum) is the front, but on woodies I love the back!!! The front right seat is best on Raptor, IMO.

AS an operator of raptor I have the lowdown. I hate the front seat for several reasons. First we get all these people who block our Q line to ride the front which makes the wait longer for everyone. Second the ride is way less intense in the front all you have is a view. And somthing that has nothing to so with the front seat there are certian conditions that make the ride better. Ride at night after a long hot day. The grease in the bering is still hot and the track gets cold that makes the train go faster. Why I dont know but you can see it every time it goes in the heartline spin. Oh yea, never ride in the morning!

Hey all,

My vote goes for Front Right. Ride it in October at about 50 deg. F so you get your eyes full of tears and that cold wind full in your face. YEAH!!! What a way to clear the sinuses!

Front seat right

7 years later....

Front seat right on Raptor. Depends on the person really. I like to watch the track as I ride. But the back seat right is great for the feel, especially when you get pulled down the first hill. But I hate the breaks right after the helix. I wonder how many G's the helix pulls anyway.

Very Front, Far right seat. Nothing beats that spot in my opinion

Back row is where its at, that last helix feels like your legs are going to get ripped off back there.

Riding Raptor (not to mention every other early/smaller B&M invert) in the front=being attached to a hanglider.

Riding Raptor in the back=being attached to a rocket.

Also, at least for me More G Forces are much more important then visuals (although I do like them, so I try to sit on an end.)

Ya know, Josh, it is Halloween and all.

The rising of the dead is befitting of this time of year.

For many years the back row was the best, then I moved up a few rows, I found that the third row gives me the most air time, which is awesome.

But I have to agree, I am a person who absolutely hates the front seat of a rollercoaster, except now, the front right seat of Raptor.

It messes with my head every ride. Love it.

Well I prefer the.... Oh wait I started the topic way back when. Whoops.

I like riding the front seat, cuz you get a good view of the Maxair midway from above :) :)

Raptor is one of the rides that I really appreciate the front seat. I'm a die hard back seat fan (especially on MF... back seat on the lake side is the best ride on the planet), but Raptor is too fun having nothing in front of you. Front seat rocks.

front row left outside seat.... that's how I roll...
