What is the best floorless?

[braztaz]

Only one I've been on is Dominator, which hurts nowadays.

Medusa (now Bizarro)

[Dietcokevan]

1)Medusa (West) Very smooth, fun, an the zero-g roll is just amazing!

2)Bizarro, WAY better than Scream, it was weird riding it because I've been on Scream so many times that I was expecting it to suck, but very smooth, and just a fun ride!

3)Batman (SFNE) A little rough, but I enjoyed the layout.

4)Scream flat out sucks.

[BaMiTsPaT]

My favorite of the 4 I've been on (Hydra, B:TDK, Scream!, and Bizarro) is Bizarro by a longshot. The scenery was actually pretty cool especially in the corkscrews, and it seemed a lot smoother to me than then other three.

Why does everyone seem to dislike Scream? When I rode it in 2006 (or 2005. Don't remember) it was incredibly fun. It wasn't rough at all.

[BaMiTsPaT]

I rode it back then and loved it, but I rode it last spring (2009) and it really rattled me around a bit, and I grew tired of the parking lot too

[davisal771]

Hmm. I figured it might have gotten rough, as people can't hate a coaster that much just because it completely lacks any sort of theming at all

[BaMiTsPaT]

I don't think many people HATE Scream!, they would just prefer to ride something with less rattle and pavement, but it doesn't deserve to be hated

Kraken at Sea World Orlando. A great ride!

[Hilltopper39]

Kraken is a very underrated coaster IMO. Every time I ride that thing it just seems to get better and better. Has a great first drop, unique layout, good pacing, decent forces (compared to most other floorless B&M's) and always seems to have short lines, thanks Manta. I haven't been on very many floorless's but think Kraken is probably pretty hard to beat.

SheiKra.

 

What?

 

Okay, fine: Kraken.

[DJeXeL]

Superman: Krypton Coaster @ SFFT

[KDCOASTERFAN]

Gotta admit the Dominator did develop somewhat of a rattle about half way through the course mid-season last year but hopefully that'll be taken care of by opening day.

[cedarpointfangirl]

I actually like Scream!! But my fave would have to be S:KC @ SFFT! I just really love how its lift goes to the top of the quarry wall!! Just an overall fun ride and I don't find it rough!

[coasterbear30]

I have ridden Medusa (West), Kraken and Dominator and out of the three, Dominator won hands down. I thought the other two were really boring. But I will ride Hydra and S:KC this year so I will have a more definitive answer after that.

[Noxegon]

I've been on all fourteen operational floorless coasters, and I'd give it to Dominator too.

[R.C.]

I've been on Medusa (SFDK) over a hundred times. I've only been on Scream! 4 or 5 times. This makes it hard to compare the two, especially when they are both "parking lot" coasters. If I had to rank the two, I'd probably put Medusa above Scream!

[WW1 Flying Ace]

I've been on Bizzaro, Kraken Dominator, Sheikra and Griffon. Of the traditional floorless Dominator in a land slide with Bizzaro second and Kraken is just bad (I ranked it below my one SLC!) IMO. Kraken is OK in the front row but, I don't like to wait 20 minutes more for it though. Overall Griffon is the best of the 5 though.

[robbalvey]

I've been on Medusa, Medusa, Superman, Superman, Scream!, Batman, Kraken, Daemonen, Dominator (in both locations), and Hydra, and I think Dominator & Karken nearly tie for my favorite. I absoultely LOVE coasters that have two vertical loops that are located in different parts of the ride, so Kraken automatically gets bonus points for me. The other one that I really like a lot, despite it's size, is Daemonen! It's a great little floorless coaster that should not be overlooked!

^I agree. I don't care for Scream, Hydra, or Great Adventure's Medusa (haven't ridden the Bizarro version), but Kraken, Dominator, and Daemonen are great rides.

[cal1br3tto]

1. Medusa

2. Scream!

 

And yes, I like them both. Hope to add a couple more floorless coasters this year!
