KI Kevin Posted June 30, 2009 Posted June 30, 2009 Many people have said that 5-1 was the best seat, so I rode there last Wednesday. I honestly didn't see it as anything special. I still prefer 1-1. What about you guys? Quote
markhudson17 Posted June 30, 2009 Posted June 30, 2009 After discovering 5:1, I refuse to ride in any other row. Quote
KI Kevin Posted June 30, 2009 Author Posted June 30, 2009 After discovering 5:1, I refuse to ride in any other row. What's so great about it? I feel the same headbanging as I do in any other seat. Quote
Oldiesmann Posted June 30, 2009 Posted June 30, 2009 I agree with mark on this one. I find 5-1 to be much smoother (and therefore more enjoyable) than other seats on Vortex, though the only other seat I've ridden frequently was 1-1. Quote
Dvo Posted June 30, 2009 Posted June 30, 2009 7-1! I'll never ride another seat. So much airtime on the first drop, and it doesn't bang your head at all. Quote
Justin_M17 Posted June 30, 2009 Posted June 30, 2009 Either 1-1 or 7-1 for me. I rode 5-1 and didn't notice anything special. Quote
Beast79 Posted June 30, 2009 Posted June 30, 2009 I just avoid riding it anymore but if I do seat 7-1. Quote
TOPGUN1993 Posted June 30, 2009 Posted June 30, 2009 You guys are crazy when you say (5-1) is different/better, esp. you Terpy. And don't even say "Well they built the ride around that seat" 7-1 FTW Quote
Tomkatt7 Posted June 30, 2009 Posted June 30, 2009 7-1. Is that the first row of the last car in the train? Quote
Tom76257 Posted June 30, 2009 Posted June 30, 2009 I rode in row 4-1 and enjoyed it more than 5-1. I have yet to try 7-1 though. Quote
The Interpreter Posted June 30, 2009 Posted June 30, 2009 7-1. Is that the first row of the last car in the train? Yes, it is. And for many years, I rode there, having been dragged there by many well-meaning friends. I think. Quote
Dan Posted June 30, 2009 Posted June 30, 2009 Just sit somewhere in the last car of the train. You'll have a blast no matter what! Quote
StalkerChick Posted June 30, 2009 Posted June 30, 2009 Either 1-1 or 7-1 for me. I rode 5-1 and didn't notice anything special. DITTO!!! You have to know how to ride through the pulls in the loops, but 7-1 is a great airtime seat to me 5-1 seemed rougher to me..... i didn't get it... Quote
specialk141 Posted June 30, 2009 Posted June 30, 2009 i was in 5-1 yesterday... didnt even think about reading here that it was the best seat.... after riding however, i even looked at my friend and said that "that was the best ride ever on Vortex". (maybe excluding my first ever when i was 9). seriously, i dont think i have ever gotten the feeling i got in my stomach going down the first hill.... it was awesome! Quote
KDCOASTERFAN Posted July 1, 2009 Posted July 1, 2009 Many people have said that 5-1 was the best seat, so I rode there last Wednesday. I honestly didn't see it as anything special. I still prefer 1-1. What about you guys? When I rode in 5-1 on anaconda last month it snapped my spine pretty hard coming off the MCBR,then again anaconda's layout is more severe than Vortex's. Quote
flightoffear1996 Posted July 1, 2009 Posted July 1, 2009 I like riding the back. Nothing like that 1st drop. Quote
dragsterfan420 Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 Any seat in the last car of the train is definitely the best. Just wait 'til you go down the first drop and you'll know why. Quote
HTCO Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 The only reason I ride that ride is for the drop and the two corkscrews! Quote
PKIVortex Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 7-1 for me. But I should try 5-1 just to see the difference. But I've been riding in 7-1 for years on end. Quote
thebeastisawsume Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 when you guys say 7-1 you mean car 7 in the frount of the car right? Quote
DropZone99 Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 7-1 Is the absolute best seat on the ride, I've sat in probably every single seat and nothing beats 7-1. You get airtime on the Second and Third Drops (1st. Drop Is the one out of the station, 2nd. is the one out of the lift, 3rd. is the big one.) And you even get some weird airtime out of the MCBR and during the corkscrews you get thrown around in a good way and get great hangtime. Also if you have your OTSR 3 Clicks down you get an amazing ride! Quote
brick52 Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 Last Seat no Doubt the first drop is amazing and there is very little head bang Quote
Diamondback FOF Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 when you guys say 7-1 you mean car 7 in the frount of the car right? Yes. Quote
PKIDelirium Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 Last Seat no Doubt the first drop is amazing and there is very little head bang 7.2? Ouch... Quote
Touchdown Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 Personally my favorite car is 8-2.... on Diamondback. I will never understand peoples fascination with this Arrow headbanger, but that's just me . Quote
House Posted July 9, 2009 Posted July 9, 2009 I seem to never get head banged on Vortex. My shoulders fit perfectly in the harness and it holds me firmly in place. Also I like the First and the Last seat. Quote
