My Opinion Is

Air= Doesn't make a difference if you look at the floor
Rita= Doesn't Improve the ride (Unless you ride at night)
Oblivion= Makes No Difference if you're tall
Nemesis= Cliffs and turns make this one best






What are your views? :twisted:

I find riding Air sooo much better at the front, and really Nemesis as well but Air a lot more as when not on the front seat all i see is socks and feet!
The thing that scares me the most about nemesis is.............One day it will close.

Oblivion and Air, as you say makes no diffrence to me

I am sure there was a day not to recently when I saw you wait for the front a number of times in one day alone.

I vote Nemesis.

I went for the bitch. A different creature all together at the front. :twisted:

Oblivion - a little better but only for the hold.
Rita - No difference for me, I preffer the back tbh.
Air - Again only slightly better at the front.

Rita for me! Oblivion makes little difference, and Air is quite cool at the front. Nemesis is fantastic, but it's fantastic anywhere, and I think what's really important with Nemesis is that feeling of disorientation, which is heightened when you can't see what's immediately coming.

Nothing beats staring down Rita's launch. :D

Rita for me I think. For me, can't beat the view as you hurtle down the launch and in to the sharp right bend, appears as if the track just disappears. Makes what I feel an average ride so much better.

Nemesis is great wherever you sit, prefer back row on nemmy for intensity, especially in the rain.

Nemesis and Rita most deffinatly.

Oblivion, a little different, nothing much more spectacular than the back row.

Air, slightly more thrilling at the front, but you only notice after going on it loads.

Nemesis I think is the overal winner. Visability is so much better at the front, for one thing. You feel really unsuported and, as has been said, the bends againts the rock are fantastic.

i picked air smiply because the view on the front is great :D i think it really does feel like your flying.

i could have picked rita or nemesis as well though. i think rita is good on the front on the launch but for me it just isn't the same as front row air.

and again with nemesis the front is great but the back for me is almost, if not equally as good.

oblivion doesn't make a massive difference so probably not that one so much

Rita for Me.

Absolutely Fantastic, different ride I think, so more intense at the front in my opinion 8)

Nemster and Rita are best at the front.

Nemmies good at the back but it's far much better at the front! I like the back on nemmy because I like the way you can see the front section of the train twisting and turning through the track and inversions before the back end does! And it's more intense! But you can't see naff all, thats why I like the front!

Rita's good at the front for similar reasons and seeing the launch track in front of you is really good. Stealth is far much better though...

Air is better at the back, and I'm not too fussed about Oblivion. Usually I'd go for the front, but I'm easy... :roll:

I would be pretty sure that it's Rita but i suppose its a personal thing.

I think that Rita is so much better at the front and sitting waiting to be launched is so much more intense while staring down the launch track. The front row also gives much more intensity on the launch its self and a better effect of air in your face and a rushing sensation.

Nemesis.

It's an awesome experience when not at the front, but when your at the front without a restricted view, the ride experience gets even better for me, and cant be beaten by any other ride.
