Cmon the back row is the best on nemesis

So is it how the host handles it or if they are allowed to do it?
Fair shout , back for most intense and front for overall experienceAdd me to the Front row crew!
Nemmy has always been best at the front in my eyes purely because the view is incredible with all the near misses and tunnels. I will grant you that the back row is more intense but Nemesis doesn't suffer from a lack of Intensity wherever you sit so I much prefer the front. I actually think the head bashing can be worse the further back you sit on the train too although to be fair I don't usually get any head bashing on any row on Nemmy. Must be my size.
Fair points made here however...
I have never once stated that I thought this request was reasonable or that it is reasonable to accommodate it. So why is that being assumed?
if they act rubbish, we will visit once next year, on the 85% discounted work tickets I can get, with a packed lunch on my back. Then the money that would have gone to Merlin, will go to visits to the European parks. Let the games begin...
Contentious issue though as what about if in the natural order of things your group was about to be batched onto the front row on the next ride but the ride host allows someone in front of you to hold back to wait for the front row on that next ride, then your group ends up on a rubbish row. You'll either be a bit annoyed at having your front row spots taken unfairly, or you'll then ask the host for your party to wait for the front row on the next ride after that. They'll have to then say yes to your party and that issue could potentially spiral a bit out of control. I can see why they are instructed to say no such requests.I think sometimes we forget people are there for enjoyment and escape, theres enough bureaucracy and draconian rules in the real world. If someone politely asks for the front row and its not going to cause issues then I personally think they should accommodate it.
Parks know guests like the front rows so I do think the front row queue should have remained. If people are willing to wait longer for it, let them!
Fair point. Its just bizarre that they had an effective solution for all of this which they removed for a fake rib cage!Contentious issue though as what about if in the natural order of things your group was about to be batched onto the front row on the next ride but the ride host allows someone in front of you to hold back to wait for the front row on that next ride, then your group ends up on a rubbish row.

They should have kept the front row queue if possible.
I think even with the theming they could have a front row queue, if they have it after the batcher and have a small queue in that space where the height checker is where you have to ask for the front row and can be let in the small queue
