Going to PKD - Please vote with my new system

I have convinced my dad to take me to PKD this upcoming weekend(Nov. 5th). The park is relatively close to me but I have never been there before. We will be using the "Final Fling" tickets and exit passes. I would like some tips for the park. What to ride. What not to ride. Where to ride everything. And so on.

How to vote:
You can click more than one thing.

First vote for your favorite ride.(1)
Then vote for the best place to sit on each ride.(any amount)

If you pick "other" and want to be more precise, just post which row.

If you want to explain, that would be all the better. Thanks alot for all of the help.

That's too confusing. When it didnt matter, I just picked the ride itself, and only specified when I felt it mattered where one sat. Otherwise, this was way to confusing since I voted prior to reading the first post for detailed voting instructions.

I'm all about the back on nearly every ride at PKD except Volcano, Hypersonic, Ricochet and Rebel Yell forwards. The back is the way to go on everything else imo.

Thanks to those of you who are voting. I know it may seem confusing but it makes sense for me.

Volcano in the front row is the best ride there. You should make it your last ride so you can ride by yourself in the front row with only your front row partner. It feels so much faster and better then.

Hypersonic is great and is worth the hour wait if there is that long of a wait. Flight of Fear is amazing in the back, and you can re-ride if you go in the first hour of the park's opening. Rebel Yell backwards in the back is definatley something to do, and it is relitivley smooth and has pretty good airtime.

PANTSFREE- I dunno about you, but I wouldn't want to do Anaconda in the back. One word, ouch.

Yea, I was able to convince my dad to take me. The tickets had to be purchased by the 2nd so I am afraid it is a bit too late for you to come. Sorry.

I'll keep an eye out for you, Clint. Will you be there Saturday? Will you be hosting the show there?

Also, what kind of crowds can I expect? Thanks.

Well not the very very back, but rather more towards the middleish of the train, the hang time in the corkscrews is amazing towards the middle of the train.

So is there anyone else from the site that is going to go to the Final Fling? I am really looking forward to visiting this park.

Again, thanks to those who voted.
