Fuck the view. I hate seeing whats ahead of me. That takes away the suprise factor. I sit in the back of the rides. That way, by the time the front has reached 1/4 the way down, your just going over the top, and your going at the same speed as them. YOu actually go at a higher average speed down the drops and thats what i look for. I know whats in front of me. Track, and the ground. I sat in the back for Top thrill as well. This is probably the only ride i know where sitting in front or back wont really make a difference on your average drop speed. I just sat in back because thats what i was used to. And it was still extremely fun.
