Yes, I did race to Bull on the November 2nd. I still got the first back row ride of the day :)

I was in front...kicking myself for choosing that seat on Bull. Bull is sooo boring in front.
Go Bulls!

in my opinion after riding back so much it's a nice change in front.

Yeah riding in different rows on coasters can be a nice change sometimes. On most coasters each row gives a different ride its very fun.

Yeah it is a nice change. I usually ride RB and BTR in the back all the time, and once or twice I rode the front at one point. It felt weird, but it was a nice change. Front row is always fun, just not as fun as the back. :)

It always depends if I'm willing to wait however long the front row would be extra. Sometimes after waiting a good hour I just wanna ride!

I think I've only rode RB front row twice. the first time was when it first opened and I don't really remember it that much. the second time was last season and I tell ya, it gives you a lot of appreciation for the back row air.
I don't have a detonator; its on a timer.
A countdown timer?
No, a count-up timer. It goes from one to explode.

Me and my friend went on RB 9 times (once in each row) on Closing Day last year. :)

Meetings and Gatherings forum?


Anyways, back on topic, I've finalized my plans. I just got my season pass and I'm all ready to go. I'm going the 1st and the 2nd (to make up for not going the whole rest of may).

I've only ridden front row on IW, Whizzer, and Viper b/c there was no line. There's like no air, but the view, esp. from Viper, is pretty cool. I've heard Batman is the same for each row, but the view from Raging Bull makes it worth it. I don't see the point on Superman, since you're looking down anyways.

in my opinion Batman is best enjoyed in the front because of the view. Raging Bull has a cool first drop in the front but the rest of pretty boring. I think Viper kind of sucks in the front because of no air time. IW in my opinion is best in front because it's smoother. I don't really feel like posting my opinion on the rest of the rides.

Comon guys, this is the Meetings and Gatherings forum. Lets try to keep this on topic. No more discussion on what row a ride is better in. There are many topics like that in the Great America forum.

My mom's gonna drive me up there. So unlike last year's opening day, I'll probably get there before the park opens. I'll be wearing my Raging Bull t-shirt and jeans. Might possibly be wearing a leather jacket, depending on my mood and how warm/cold it is. :) If ya see me feel free to say hi.

Well, in about 6 days I'll be at the gates getting my pass (well, the yellow card to be exact) swiped and walking through security. I was thinking how I'll react when I first enter after being out since November. I'm afraid I might hug a tree and say "I love you Six Flags Great America!" Kinda embarrassing.

I'll be there pretty early with some people. I'll be wearing khakis and either a black hoodie or a grey one. Just look for the fat guy with bright red highlights :wink:

yeah, my plans for opening day have just been cancled. my friends all have to work and you people are just too scary for me to hang out with you all day. :P

no big deal for me. I've been really bored since coming home from school and opening day was supposed to entertain me, but considering I'll probably be prectically living at SFGA the rest of the summer, its not bothering me too mcuh. have fun on the midways everyone!

If that is the list for people going opening day, you can add me to it.


I think I'll either be racing for a top 10 spot for Raging Bull, or if I run out of breath, I'll just go first to Viper :lol:
