What line do you choose?

When the line splits into 2, which way do you normally choose? Do you think one way is faster than the other? On the left, the line for the front always looks extremely longer than on the right. Just wondering.

The left, every time. If the ride is going to break down, it reduces the wait by one launch.

I find the front seat wait is usually shorter (or at least feels shorter) if you go to the right. If I'm not sitting in front, I'll usually go left.

And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun

Left of course.
I always go right if I am going to ride in the front seat because it is always neat seeing the train in front of you launch when you are right behind it.

The only downside to this is that what I've seen happen a lot is that the left-hand side launches, and then the right train moves up and just sits there, and then breaks down. I've seen that happen about 10 times. Buttt it hasnt happened to me.

I also like to go right because you get to sit there longer and see the train infront of you go. Also, I noticed that the left side doesn't sit at the lights as long as the right does. There's more of a pause for the right side.
Left always, but no particular reason. However, the last 4 or 5 times I rode it I got FreeWay and I just merged into the left lane.

I like the right but like JRics82 said. When you merge with a FreeWay stamp the people who have waited 1 1/2 hours have a little attitude when you are trying to merge to the right side, so I settle for the left side. But hey I don't blame them.

It seems like on any ride you get a FreeWay stamp on, the people who dont have one sneer at you anyway when you merge... *** Edited 7/31/2004 9:23:57 PM UTC by JRics82***
If I'm going to sit in the front, I go to the right mainly because it's pretty sweet to see the train lauch in front of you. If I am going to sit anywhere else, I go to the left.
I love going to the right. You get to sit out on the launch much longer ;)

I Always go Right. I do hate the dirty looks that you get from people when you merge. If anyone says anything (which some have before) I just tell them that everyone had an equal oppertunity to get one.
