1st time.... sat in the VERY FIRST CAR!!!!
(VERY FUN, COULD SEE ALL OF THE TRACKS, AND GOT VERY SCARED WHEN THE TRACK WENT OUT....)
didn't see the Yeti much in the front (we zoomed by him so fast)
2nd and 3rd time...... set in the last car.
We could see the Yeti ahead of time and it looked like the Yeti was going to reach out and grab us.....
so.... If you want more time to meet the Yeti, I suggest sitting in the back.
