What is the best floorless?

[Tanks4me05]

^Honestly, I thought it was really good. Rough for a B&M, but still good. That being said, I haven't gone since 2007, so my memory's a little fuzzy. Long story short, take all enthusiast's opinions with a grain of salt.

I've liked all the ones I've been on pretty well but my #1 outranks all the rest by a mile. Here's how I'd rank them:

 

1.Superman: Krypton Coaster

2.Kraken

3.Bizarro

4.Scream!

5.Baman: The Dark Knight

1. Griffon at BGW (does that count?)

2. Scream at SFMM

3. Medusa at SFDK

 

I'm weird like that

[ernierocker]

Why is Batman: Dark Knight considered so sub-par? I plan to head up to SFNE next year. Sure it's small, but is it forceless?

 

It's a fun coaster. I wouldn't call it sub-par there are just other coasters that are better than it.

 

My vote is for Dominator. Superman Krypton Coaster is up there on my list as well.

[yankeeman311]

I'm pretty sure I've only been on GAdv Bizarro and Kraken so out of those 2 I would say Kraken is the best. It's very smooth, has surprisingly good airtime and maintains a nice pace through the ride. Not to mention the headchoppers.

The more I ride the coaster, the more I like it. It's definitely not forceless (for a floorless coaster) it has a great zero g roll and the corkscrews at the end are a very good, intense finish. Personally I love this ride, but it's smaller and shorter than the others which is probably why it's ranked behind them. It's a very good ride and I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

Krypton Coaster!

[PalmTree55]

Definitely Kraken! Fun drop, forcefully, and has a heavenly zero-g roll!

[DougMJr]

For me, Superman Krypton Coaster is my favorite out of the three I've been on. Then Dominator, and Hydra takes last place by a mile.

[Moose]

Hair Raiser. It's location puts it a step ahead of Spanish superman.

I agree it's a really fun ride! I actually prefer it to Great Adventure's Bizarro thanks to its intensity. Though my favorite floorless is Hydra. I know the ride isn't the most popular, but I really enjoy its quirky layout. I love the hang-time in both the jojo roll and the zero-G roll and I find the first drop and the drop into the final corkscrew quite intense and heavy on air-time in the back seat.

[CPmillenia94]

^I TOTALLY AGREE. Very forceful in both directions in those back rows. It almost rode like an intamin the way it is so unique and forceful. Can someone explain why they dislike the ride? I did notice the rattle last time I rode, that's all I can think of..

[Double0Kevin]

1. Medusa - SFDK

2. Dominator - KD

3. Kraken - SWO

4. Scream - SFMM

[Angle O. Descent]

I've only been on five, all decent:

 

1. Griffon (if you count it)

2. Dominator

3. Hydra

4. Scream/Bizarro

[markysharky17]

I have been on a few B&M floorless coasters.

1. Kraken at SeaWorld Orlando

2. Dominator at Kings Dominion

3. Hydra The Revenge at Dorney Park

4. Bizzaro at Six Flags Great Adventure

 

They are some of the best B&M coasters.

Probs pushin' it there, buddy.

 

I've ridden Kraken and Sheikra (yeah, I count it), and Sheikra wins. Kraken is great, in my opinion, and looking at other floorless coasters, there aren't many that I think would be much better. I would love to ride Hair Raiser, Superman in Madrid, and Dominator and then give my answer!

PosiNOT.

[GrapesLie]

I haven't ridden it but THIS looks AMAZING!

 

[gerstlaueringvar]

Superman: Krypton Coaster is a good one I think. Haven't been on too many of the floorless coasters.

[VF15]

I've been on two B&M floorless coasters, Kraken and Rougarou, and I think Kraken is the better ride of two. Both coasters are on the same level in terms of intensity and forcefulness, however, Rougarou has a few moments of headbanging here and there, while Kraken is a very smooth ride from start to finish.

[Superbatboy]

My fave is the original, Bizarro/Medusa

[SFOG1991]

Kraken @ SeaWorld Orlando for me. It is big, unique, and intense.

 

Keep in mind I've been on Kraken, Bizarro, Dominator, Hydra the Revenge, Rougarou, and Medusa. I have a handful I still need to try out.

[boldikus]

Haven't ridden too many but:

 

1. Bizarro/Medusa

2. Rougarou

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3. Hydra

[JRice92]

1. Kraken

2. Dominator

3. Rougarou

 

I think Kraken is a superb coaster, the for me what made it stand out the most is the pacing, I love the order of the elements.

[Physical]

I really enjoy Dominator. The entire first half of the ride is positive-g porn. However I've only been on three floorless coasters, Hydra, Medusa/bizarro, and Dominator.
