Best Seats on FOF and The Beast

Featured Replies

I love both of these rides so much, and next time I go I want to get the best experience possible! Most of the times I've ridden them in the middle. So tell me what you think!

On The Beast, I usually sit in the next-to-last row, in the center of the last car. On FOF, I sit wherever the line is short. :)

1st row on beast is a great view and ride.You have to try it.

As for fof, I dont think it really matters since its all kind of dark in there. I prefer either the back or the front on Fof, but I usually just take the middle when the lines are long.

On Flight of Fear I like to sit in the back, you get more whiplash going through the second half of the ride with what little speed you have.

On Beast? Normally I like to sit in the second to back. It's a coaster standard: Back of the train = more forces.

But on special occasions (First / last ride of the season, at night, etc...) I like to ride in the front. It's a longer wait, but boy is it worth it. What a wonderful journey in the front, it's like the ride is all to yourself.

The Beast is a toss up for me. I love the very front seat, the views, going through the tunnels, everything about it. But also I love the second to back seat, car 6 seat 2. It like was mentioned, has the amazing pull over the lifts and speed and with not being on the wheels is a much smoother ride then the very back.

On FoF after riding it many many times from the back, I use to always ride it back there before I really knew the route because I could see ahead to the front of the train the elements that the ride was going through. Now I have to say, when the lights are off, in the front seat it feels real out of control with no sense of direction.

for the first time, i got in fof front row, and OMG best experience ever

, especially the first tunnel!!!!!!!!!!1

Yes, darkness looks better from the front row..... just kidding you!

Both of them in the front for me it's just so cool being in the front getting launched off and The Beast is just all around amazing in the front.

I strongly advise you to ride in the very front on FOF, I have taken many friends and not and the front, then once in the front and it blew their minds. As for The Beast I have no strong oppinion,although I sit in the front if it has a abysmal wait.

On The Beast, I prefer the front. While I am normally a back of the train fan, I have never gotten air time on The Beast. What I have found is that when I am sitting in the front, going up the lift hills is quicker as the front of the train is almost 1/4 of the way up before the chain engages. I also don't feel the trims biting as hard in the front as I do in the back.
