Not true. The reason behind this is is that the there is grease in the bearings that are part of the wheel. That grease is at it's thinest at night due to all the usage. It's heated up and therefore easier to move. The trains are slower in the morning on all roller coasters because the grease has cooled down and is not so fluid.
As for a favorite place on a ride to sit? Most roller coasters it is in the back seat.
