      Not if you care about optimising your ride experience. Your comment is a better example of useless.

    Imagine he intentionally makes a rollercoaster extremely boring

      August 28, 2024 at 3:14 pm

      A slow straight and narrow ride with a couple turns that bring no joy or air time I’m all for it

    Q: What seat is best?
    A: Try every seat and then you’ll know!

    If you have kidney stones OR you are prone to them, the back cart is the best as they’ve proven the G force distributes best to break up stones OR the formation of stones. 😉

    • @GeekyCondor

      August 29, 2024 at 2:13 pm

      Or just don’t go on at all😅

    But why is he in jail?

    • @ilovedagreenday

      August 30, 2024 at 1:20 pm

      😂 yeah. I wonder if they mentioned this during production or not

  9. @Digitalhunny

    August 28, 2024 at 8:39 pm

    So, did you start off way before your career, playing ‘Rollercoaster Tycoon’, with the ‘Loopy Landscape Added Attraction Packs’, or what? 😂😂😂❤

    The front. C’mon man.

  11. @Sic_Ca_Rax

    September 1, 2024 at 1:16 pm

    It sounds like the question might be asking for the safety aspect as well 😅 Where would you be the safest if it goes off-rail.

    The best seat is on the bench outside the ride so you don’t get motion sickness or lose consciousness.
