Death Seat on Raptor - CoasterBuzz

Okay, I've had a CP season pass forever, and I must have riddden the Raptor over 50 times, but I just heard of the "Death Seat". I know its the seat on the far right of the third row. My question is this: why is it called the death seat? How is the ride different than anywhere else in the train?

All I know is that the last row is far more intense than the front. The front is pretty cool.

DOWN WITH TRIM BRAKES!

last row, right i am pretty sure. also the "death", but called ejector on magnum is 1-3. the "death" seat on the force, or called itamin giga car or something is 5-1.

Oh I knew that!

I would think that any seat on the left is bad because of the really bad kink before the brakes. It was so bad it felt like the train was gonna fall off the track. I never heard anyone complain about that before. I am the only one who see's that?

Yeah, why doesnt Cedar Point fix that horrible piece of the track right before the station? It's throw you from one side of the car to the next and kinda of hurts.

You get whipped around more in the 'death seat'. That's where I've always rode. It's great for the loop and inline twist. It just makes the ride all the better for me.
As far as the quick turn into the station, I really don't mind it at all. If it hurts you, then my advice is to just hold on tight to the harness as you go through it.

Raptor does certainly rule the sky.

I'm pretty sure that the death seat is just a certain spot on any ride that the designers pick for fun

I think any seat on Raptor is good! lol Anyways GRL when it comes to the brake run at the station, just lean forward in your seat. I do that for Raptor and Mantis [stopped hard on last brake run] and it works
