Up front you get the best feeling of flight but I preferred the very back for the best positive G's in the pretzel loop, which by the way is awesome. The pretzel loop pulls some of the best positive G's I have ever experienced.
The only problem I had with the ride was the loading procedure which is very very slow. They were operating 2 trains with both sides of the station open but both trains were frequently in the station at the same time trying to load. The only good thing is that with 2 stations it does load faster than it would with just one station.
Overall I have to say this is a great ride and I encourage everybody to visit SFOG and ride S:UF.
I found the seats to be very comfortable. I love the restraints B&M designed. They are very effective at holding you in without being too intrusive. Just for reference I am only 5'4" tall and usually don't have a problem with most types of restraints so maybe somebody else had problems I couldn't feel.

What am I talking about? Before the ride was even built many people (not specifically you) were comparing it to the Dutchman and basically saying B&M are perfect. I remember reading "B&M flyers will open ontime and not break down blah blah blah"
Also, all B&M's and all rides have problems once in awhile. They're machines and are prone to breakdown once in awhile.

Well the lifting up and then not working is because of the computer constantly telling the train seats arent locked. On Media Day this was a problem. On opening day though, i dont recall seeing this happen once. Except for a breakdown at the end of the day, S:UF ran almost flawlessly the whole day saturday. I hear Sunday was a different story though.
O, and i dont know about air but at S:UF they easily fix the problem by just rechecking the restraints.
