Vekoma's rollerskater trains usually have some weird figures on the front cars but this one is the coolest one i've seen so far. http://www.rcdb.com/installationgallery904.htm?Picture=2

Any other themed or just something special front cars worth to mention?

Love this roller skater and it's theming! :)

I also like these wild mouse trains, very nicely themed. Too bad they're not half as comfortable as non-themed trains..

Yep....Tiger Terror...the one at Wild Adventures is the one I've ridden, but here's a better pic of a different install...

Of course, the Wisdom Orient Express rides have cool fronts too:

Lastly, I'll kick in the Dueling Dragons...my ultimate souvenir would be one of the teeth the park removed from Fire and Ice...

That is a pretty interesting design.

KBF's Jaguar has some very nicely Mayan themed cars. The front car especially is great looking.

And of course, who can resist Xcelerator's 57' Chevys? I can't. :)

I especially like the Dodonpa cars. They look so sleek and the paint job is amazing. Same with Xcelerator. Hopefully someday I'll have my own 57 Chevy (my dream car).....

Ugh, Dodopa's cars are repulsive. So are SD2K's.

I love how the Xcelerator train's license plates are 2FAST4U and PDL2MDL. Also how there is a 57 chevy outside the station, and it looks exactly like the train. If only the train had working lights, but I don't think the city would allow that because the lights would really distract the drivers on La Palma.

Knotts has the best airbrush crew. Look at what the did on Ghostrider too.

Warner Bros. Movie World's Scooby-Doo Spooky Coaster has a pretty groovy front. Mack could have made the nose pointier and the back more jagged to make it look more like the ones in the movie, but still very nice.

Have you seen them in person? It made a big difference. The front of Dodonpa's cars tie in to the themeing which is a bit "out there" for us folks, but works nicely for their culture.

Ok, so it's not a zero car...but Dueling Dragons front row cars are aweomse. Big open mouth with pink restraints for a tongue.

Also, Pedro's Wild Mouse cars are cool.
