I told him the line was too long and we wouldnt be back, so he took us backstage to get right back on again and requested front for myself and my friend it was awesome.

I kept on emphasizing how my favorite part was the Aerosmith music blaring all around you throughout the ride…big mistake. Luck would have it that once we took off, everything was nearly silent, except for the screams of most of the passengers. I of course, having been on the ride loads of times was intrigued, but terribly disappointed as that was their first time on it. So when we got to the unloading station I marched up the CM and asked, “What had happened to the music?!?†She then gave me a funny look and pointed to the handicap entrance behind her, so I could lead my family in to ride it again, this time with the music and no wait. Sad part was, all of the other people who had been on the ride at the time didn’t know any better, so they had just walked off

Originally Posted By Labuda I'm a creature of habit, too - I like to see what's coming up so I enjoy being in front. What I think is REALLY cool, though, are a couple of Six Flags coasters that I've been on - Boomerang @ Fiesta Texas and one called Mr. Freeze @ SFOT. On both of these, you get to be at the back of the train going backwards for part of the ride whereas the first part of it, you're forward-facing, going forward.

Originally Posted By TMICHAEL >>>But I am a bit of a creature of habit as I like the back on ALL coasters.<<< Totally in agreement with you here Dave with the exception of RnRC, I like the front instead of the back on this ride only. Launch into double inversions is really cool from the front. I think its because I like big drops more than inversions. On a drop in the back you are being pulled over and down for the entire drop. Where as the front has a bit of delay as the rest of the train crests the hill. And can I have an AMEN for AIR TIME!!!!

Originally Posted By TMICHAEL Hey TDLFAN, how big is that drop? Doesn't look like too much to me, like only about 30 feet. But I've only seen it on video. And yeah, TestTrack bores me. I drive faster on the freeway.(when there's no traffic)
Originally Posted By barboy My guess is that 30 ft is about right. That drop out of the mountain is the best momemt in theme park history--end of story.(well for me anyway) Escaping out of the volcano's pressure hole left me in tears because I was so overwhelmed with excitement and disbelief at the sheer thrill of the attraction---talk about a climax, damn!!!! That drop is clearly worth the price of admission to Disney Sea alone.
Originally Posted By FerretAfros I would also guess about 30 feet, but the air time on that is something else. Practically from the time you see the light from outside until you are in the dark caves again, you are not just floating, but being pulled down by the lap bar. I was not expecting it at all, and it really made the ride totally awsome.

Originally Posted By barboy Thanks Mike, The video that I find most ridiculous of all of the ones cycled in the hotels(which is hard to pinpoint) is the one showing Tower of Terror guests STANDING while the service elevator is dropping out of control. The Space Mountain video might be a close 2nd.
