Front Seat!

[flightoffear1996]

Do you take the extra time to ride in the front seat?  If so what is the maximum extra wait time will you wait?

[BlondyRidesOn]

I will sometimes. If I had to estimate, I'd say wait time is usually five to ten extra minutes in line.

[Atheris]

I don't usually wait for the front seats. I'll wait if there's a 5-10 minute wait.

The only ride I would wait for front seat is The Beast or The Racer.

the most i would wait is 5-10 mins, i would wait longer if it was for Top Thrill Dragster or any of Cedar Point's amazing Intamin coaster, though i wouldn't was THAT long for any of them knowing how lucky i am when I'm next up and Top Thrill Dragster goes down for mechanical 

[flightoffear1996]

I my-self usually will spend the extra few minutes.  Up to and extra 5 or 6 trains for the front seat on most out door coasters.

Depends on the coaster and/or time of day., and other scenarios.  About every other Beast night ride I try and go for the front despite waiting 6+ cycles for the front.  Some others I try and go for the front are Invertigo, Bat, and Racer.  I like doing Vortex in the front early in the morning or at dusk for the awesome breeze.  I'm not a fan of Flight of Fear in the front with the way the MCBR brings the train to a stop with the front car hanging off the curved drop and you're laying to the side.  Obviously, Backlot and Firehawk are entirely based on luck, which, I enjoy both.  Banshee and Diamondback I'll often try for a front seat ride.  On Adventure Express, I actually prefer the back.  It kind of adds to the runaway mine train aspect of it.  On SOB, I only rode in the front 2 seats as those were the only comfortable seats.  I was lucky enough to snag a front seat ride on King Cobra before it bit the dust and that was really fun. 

 

One thing I like to do when I ride a coaster for the first time is to ride all over the train to kind of get the full experience.

So, there's really only one coaster I almost always wait for the front for if it has a reasonable wait, and that is The Bat. Though the front is cool on FoF, Beast and Adventure Express, I usually have other go-to seats I more prefer/more frequent (FoF and Beast, I tend to like to sit near the front, AE I tend to almost always sit in the 2nd to last seat).

[Creed Bratton]

Depends on the coaster, what's going on after that ride and how many people are in front of me for the front line. If I can get right on in another row, I'll do that, but if it's a 2 train wait for the rest of the train and a few extra for the front row I'll wait for the front row.

Depends on the coaster.. but for most rides.. I will only wait an extra 3 or less runs.. so I don't get front very often.

If it's a MUST EXPERIENCE kind of thing though... maybe I'll do wait longer. Though, that was the case for TTD but, last time I tried.. it kept breaking down so when we finally were able to ride, we needed to just get on it before it broke AGAIN.

Only a handful of coasters I have been on that I prefer front seat.  The only one at KI is the Stunt Coaster.  Unless it is a walk on, I do not wait for front.

[Tr0y]

I'm the complete opposite I prefer and wait for the very backseat on coasters. Typically the lines are not as long and I feel like the very backseat gives a more out of control, forceful ride. Unlike the front seat we're it tends to be more scenic. Occasionally I'll wait for the front seat depending on my mood and what the line is looking like, but 9 out of 10 I'm getting in line for the very backseat.

[kingsislandfan1972]

I love sitting in the front seat of most coasters, but if there is other seats open, I usually take what I can.

[Logan Goddard]

The only coasters I would wait for a front seat on are Banshee(any time) and Beast at night. I personally am always looking to get in the very back of DB for that sweet airtime and it is usually a shorter wait. 

[silver2005]

For Diamondback, I'm okay with waiting for the 2nd row as its still kind of the front seat of the train (at least with the unimpeded views).

[AnsoniA]

I usually enjoy waiting extra time to ride front seat (especially on Diamondback and Beast) but one of he only rides at KI I don't enjoy riding in the front seat are BLSC and Vortex. I'm a tall person so I usually tolerate Vortex's murderous restraints only if I sit on the left side of the train.

[NoChickens]

 A front seat ride on Banshee, if not more than 3-4  trains is acceptable.

 

You would have to pay me to ride Vortex in the front. I'll ride it all day in 7-1.

 

 Diamondback is a joy in the front, I'd wait 3-4 trains there as well. Same for Beast, or Racer.

 

  BLSC, front 2 rows, or I'll wait..... wait.....wait... 

[SNAPADDICT]

Depends on the coaster. If it was Phoenix then yes I would wait for the front. It also depends on operations at a park.

Front seat is sometimes worth it.

[PKI96]

The Bat is, to me, a considerably better ride in the front seat.  And usually not a huge wait.  Other that than, doesn't matter to me. 

[IndyGuy4KI]

I am fine with row 2 on most rides which usually has a much shorter line. I tend to be a back of the train rider.

[King Ding Dong]

Sometimes it is much better not to be in the front row as my boys learned on their first night time front row ride on Millenium Force. Let someone else act as a bug shield.

[Rivertown Rider]

I don't generally wait for the front seat as I like to get on the ride quicker than waiting for the front seat.

[Hoeter]

I'll ride row 1 on Diamondback if the line is short enough. There's nothing in front of you either so I sit in row 2 moreso than row 1.

 

I'll do Banshee in the front if there's only a line big enough for a couple of trains.

 

Beast, Racer I will do on occasion but middle row of last car is where you'll find me most of the time.

 

Front row on Maverick at Cedar Point is my all-time favorite- it's my go-to.
