Architecture Roller Coasters

Three similar shots from a couple of years ago. I'm considering one of these printed to hang up on my "photo wall" in work. Looking for thoughts - which one would you pick?

Hope you don't mind. This is the best way for me to explain my preference.

If your subject is roller-coaster architecture, then #1 it is. But a roller-coaster is nothing without people screaming their lungs out so #3 works much better for me. And I do not have an aversion to high contrast in images as do some others on here so the blocked shadows don't bother me.

Agree with this statement, though I would explore other crops of #3 that have less negative space at the bottom of the frame. Using the same aspect ratio, dropping the far right track and most of the bottom might be a more pleasant composition.

edit to add - number three is tilted, basis the coaster structure, a fair bit to the left.
