I'm all for the beginning of roller coasters (first drop or LIM launch in Rock 'n' Roller Coaster's Case). For any other thrill ride, it's usually the end--like Splash or Tower of Terror or Dinosaur...although on Splash, I specifically love the "double drop" into the lower half of the Laughing Place...about as much as the big drop...although I like the ride in its entirety...EXTREMELY well-done...
