I'd be on the 1st car! I always go on the first car even if it means batting children out the way.

Why do you always go on the front chris? i much prefer the back. Ok so the view is not quite so good but look at it this way:

as you go over the top of the hump/first drop etc, if youre in the front, you'll be halfway down before the coaster starts picking up any real speed, as the back is still hanging over the other side. If youre at the back on the other hand, you get full acceleration/speed right from the top, if you see what i mean.

cos I like the view

and speed wise I have never noticed a diff. I do notice being cramped in anything but the front of a car though with my big self.
