Tmcdllr Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 I would have to say Medusa at SFMW and Scream! at SFMM (tie). Although they are almost a mirror image of each other there are some things that are unique. I like Scream! because of it's fast pace through the entire ride. I like Medusa because of it's rare almost straight first drop, I love that feeling you get going down the hill. Both rides are extremely fun.

Eagle Rider Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 I've ridden only one floorless: Kraken, and it was pure bliss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterzak Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 I just rode Kraken for the first time a couple weeks ago and I would say that because of that perfectly engineered zero-g roll, that it is now one of my favorite floorless coasters. Medusa East and Dominator are still up there, but Kraken is very different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterguy618 Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 I've been on two. Hydra and Medusa at SFGADv. I'd prefer hydra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasters 4 me Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 I have only ridden 1 Floorless. Kraken. But I thought it was crazy and brilliant. And especially when there is only 1min queue and you can get like 3 rides in 10 mins. Ah, good times, good times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooey Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 Only ever rode Kraken, and absolutely loved it. Â That should all change this year with my impending US trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ncf Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 Medusa west is the best one that I have ridden, but Superman Krypton Coaster or Attracción de Acero looks the best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik Johnson Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 I have only ever been on Kraken, and i thoroughly enjoyed it. However, when we went on it later on in our trip it was rattled rather a lot. No matter, still a great ride. Will ride Scream next year at MM, you would think they would put some pebbledash down to cover the parking lot, but hey ho  I just rode the Kraken last weekend, its seemed to be very smooth on our 4 rides. Though all but one were in the last row. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Immel Man Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 1. Kraken 2. Superman Krypton Coaster 3. Scream 4. Dominator  Kraken is like a textbook example of how to properly execute each B&M element. From pictures it looks long and drawn out, but on the ride every part has just the right amount of intensity or weightlessness. It's just a completely seamless ride from start to finish. My only complaint is that I wish there was some sort of spiral or helix along the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFMMFRE4K Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 I have ridden BKF (Batman Knight Flight, now known as Dominator) and Scream at SFMM. I prefer the first one. Â Â I have ridden Scream at SFMM and i love it so much... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socalMAN123 Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 I've also only been on Scream @ SFMM and boy, is it fun. The front row is probably the best. ---Brent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParkTrips Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 Finally got to ride it today, and by a sizeable margin: Kraken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WW Goliath Posted January 14, 2006 Share Posted January 14, 2006 I have only ridden two florless coasters, Daemonen at Tivoli and Scream at Magic Mountain and loved both of them. Hope to ride some more in the near future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coaster mad Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 I've been on Kraken scream and medusa(SFGAdv) and the best out of those IMO is Kraken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
methylene Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 It's a tie between Superman: KC and Kraken. Â S:KC's three twisting drops on or near the quarry are awesome. Â If it had a krakenesque tunnel it would easily be #1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xxhershey818xX Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 Medusa (SFGAdv) takes it all then I say Kraken(SWF) then Hydra(DP) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbilly Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 this should have been made a poll i'm curious to see who's winning! Have to go with the original and my home park queen Medusa (my fav overall coaster in the park), here's my whole list: Â 1. Medusa East 2. Kraken 3. Dominator (Batman Knight Flight when i rode it) 4. Batman- The Dark Knight 5. Hydra: The Revenge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesdillaman Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 The only imaginable reason Superman Krypton Coaster isn't mentioned by everybody is that not many people have ridden it, because it is, IMO, a standout coaster in the sea of floorless coasters. The location at Six Flags Fiesta Texas, combined with the HUGE vertical loop after the drop... It's a great coaster. -James Dillaman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy T. Koepp Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 I gotta chime in with... I have never ridden any floorless design that has just blown me away. I find the idea rather gimicky. All the ones that I have ridden are at best OK. It seems to me, rather than make a floorless that has all the inversions and similar layouts, why not try this concept as a Hyper coaster. It would be ultimately cool to have no OTSRs and only a lap bar to hold you in as you traversed the course of an airtime monster. I think the freedom of the open air seating would only intensify a 200ft+ drop. Â Don't be surprised to see this concept head this direction. Rumor has it that we might see it as early as on the Vdrop coaster at BGE. Â But that's just my two cents. WTF do I know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FeelTheFORCE Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 I have to say Dominator at GL. Thats the only one ive ever been on but im going to ride SCREAM! this summer and then ill see which one is better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Sabo Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 ^^Assuming the rumor is so (and it's becoming a strong rumor on the BGE '07 ride) I doubt they would classify it as a floorless coaster. It would still be a Dive Machine with the train/coaches having a floorless format. I'm hoping this rumor is true, because can you imagine a 200+ft drop and hanging in a floorless coach-just sitting in the holding-brake before the drop? Pheww (my "brownie" palet is salivating)..lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
