On one hand I kinda wish this ride had that one magic seat where it just totally kicked. Top Gun / Afterburn has this for me, and probably most others: right seat, back row, Shark train. Pure unadulterated bliss, and for me every part of the ride is better back here ride-wise. Of course the view is better up front.
On the other hand, every ride seems to deliver something different. I might get off one ride thinking the 2nd hill didn't do much for me, then get assigned a seat on the next ride where that hill really shines. I suppose with the assigned seating it's probably good to have several different experiences throughout the train.
If they assigned seats on Afterburn, for example, I'd be a bit bummed anytime I didn't get row 1 or row 8. I've never really noticed any of the middle rows on that ride delivering anything unique. Not that they're bad, mind you, just there's no compelling reason to ride row 3 over Row 1 (view) or row 8 (best forces).
