Tomorrow I am making a trip out to Great America. In both times I have been, I have only gotten on twice. Both of which were 4th row (one on each wing). Can somebody who has gone more than me recommend the best seat?

Back row, both wings are great. Never got a chance to ride the middle or the front. I imagine the very front might be fun on the drop, being held upside-down for a second before the train starts diving.

I sat in both the back and front and they were both excellent. The front is especially fun on the first drop and key-hole through the tower. Since you can't see that cars ahead of you go though, it makes it seem that much closer to you as you pass through it.

On swarm back left was the most insane experience for the drop, and seeing as they're similar drops I imagine it's fairly comparable.

I rode X-flight 3 times, once back left, once back right, and once front right. Back right is the way to go!

^ Coincidentally, I sat 2nd row on the Eagle and last row on Batman! XD
