No. Apollo's Chariot is widely regarded as one of the smoothest B&M hypercoasters ever built. Despite opening in 1999, it has aged exceptionally well. The ride delivers sustained floater airtime across 9 hills without the roughness found on many coasters of similar age.
The back row is the enthusiast pick. On a hypercoaster with 9 hills, the back row gives you the strongest floater and ejector airtime moments as you crest each hill. The front row offers great views and wind-in-your-face thrills, but back row maximizes the airtime experience.
