KI FANATIC 37 Posted April 26, 2014 Posted April 26, 2014 I like row 1 on Diamondback too, but if it's a slow day in the park and I'm marathoning it, I will pick row 16 3x more than row 1. Something about that pull over the first drop gets me in the back. 2 Quote
The Interpreter Posted April 26, 2014 Posted April 26, 2014 Wood coasters, find me in the back (except Beast). Steel, I'm often a front guy, as thedevariouseffect can testify. 1 Quote

Joshua Posted April 27, 2014 Posted April 27, 2014 I imagine I'll be splitting night rides all season. Both have their virtue, and I'll probably throw in a few on Diamondback as well. I agree with you! I feel like I am in the minority in thinking that Diamondback at night is the best ride at night in the park. I rode it at night last Friday and it was just fantastic! Row 16 in the dark is crazy good! I've ridden it at night twice and both times it was an amazing night riding experience. As for the poll, I'm not sure where I stand. I love The Beast. I love Banshee. I love Diamondback. But I hate ranking things. I just love a good night ride in general. 2 Quote
markr Posted April 27, 2014 Posted April 27, 2014 Was waiting for a night ride on Banshee last night at the time of the incident. Anyway decided to go over to The Beast with my friend Jo as did not think it would reopen. The verdict? While I love Banshee at night The Beast still edges it out as my fav night ride. 1 Quote
Banshee Back VII Posted April 27, 2014 Posted April 27, 2014 Was waiting for a night ride on Banshee last night at the time of the incident. Anyway decided to go over to The Beast with my friend Jo as did not think it would reopen. The verdict? While I love Banshee at night The Beast still edges it out as my fav night ride. I also rode both Banshee and The Beast at night last night, and was waiting in line when the incident happened! I prefer the Banshee by day, but The Beast by night. 1 Quote
Banshee Back VII Posted April 27, 2014 Posted April 27, 2014 Wood coasters, find me in the back (except Beast). Steel, I'm often a front guy, as thedevariouseffect can testify. I am opposite. I am in front of all woodies (except The Beast) and back of all steel rides (except MF, Banshee, and Tatsu). 1 Quote
Diamondback FOF Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 The Beast at night all the way. Banshee is definitely better at night than during the day, and the lighting and all is cool, but it's nothing...too spectacular. The Beast at night, however, continues to be amazing. The out of control feeling in the dark is great. 2 Quote
thedevariouseffect Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 Yes, Terp does not like it in the back Totally intentional I like coasters in the front but also the back, it depends honestly. Take Maverick, very back, Millie very front (row 2 bay side), Maggie 15 or 16, Corkscrew 21, Mantis 14, Beast 12, Banshee 84, etc. It just depends, each ride has a different feeling for me. Quote
The Interpreter Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 How odd. I ride Maverick ONLY in the front, Millennium Force in either the very front or the very back (both bayside), Corkscrew, 5-1, Banshee, I vastly prefer the front, same for Diamondback. (and Volcano: The Blast Coaster...). As for Magnum, 1-3 please, or 1-1 or the very back. As for Mantis and Mean Streak, the benches out in front are very nice.... 5 Quote
thedevariouseffect Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 I will only ride Millie in the back every now and then or during Mufflehead season. Favorite is riding very back during two train op. Corkscrew is good in 51, but 21 is a much better ride for the bunny hill, the lift hill is better in 51 I will say that. Corkscrews are fantastic in 21 as 51 lately has been..ok, little too much lateral shakes and bangs, not smooth like 21 Quote
The Interpreter Posted April 28, 2014 Posted April 28, 2014 I also ride Top Thrill in the front. At night. Even during "that" season. Keepa da mouth closed! 4 Quote
Banshee Back VII Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 How odd. I ride Maverick ONLY in the front, Millennium Force in either the very front or the very back (both bayside), Corkscrew, 5-1, Banshee, I vastly prefer the front, same for Diamondback. (and Volcano: The Blast Coaster...). As for Magnum, 1-3 please, or 1-1 or the very back. As for Mantis and Mean Streak, the benches out in front are very nice.... For Diamondback, try 1-2. Very underrated. You still get a front-row view while not having to wait as long. Quote
The Interpreter Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 I much, much prefer the odd numbered rows on Diamondback. I've ridden every seat on the coaster numerous times. Far smoother, less vibrations (some call it rattles) in the odd rows. Thanks, though. 3 Quote
Banshee Back VII Posted April 30, 2014 Posted April 30, 2014 I much, much prefer the odd numbered rows on Diamondback. I've ridden every seat on the coaster numerous times. Far smoother, less vibrations (some call it rattles) in the odd rows. Thanks, though. How odd (no pun intended). I strongly prefer the even-numbered rows (except row 1, obviously) for a more open-air experience. 1 Quote
Oldschool75 Posted May 3, 2014 Posted May 3, 2014 Banshee is my new number one night ride; with The Beast in a close second. Sent from a signal coming out of the Vega system. Quote
