dragsterfan420 Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 Kraken is the best. Runner up, Dominator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bebes Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 1. Batman:KF / Dominator 2. Scream 3. Bizarro 4. Griffon (does it count?) 5. Hydra   Also, I haven't ridden Dominator since 2003 so I have no idea if it's gotten rough or not (I've heard reports that it's not very good now) --Robb  I rode B:KF / Dominator when it opened in 2000 and 2001, again in 2006, and recently here in 2009. It was butter smooth every time.  Batman/Dominator at Geauga Lake (SFWOA). I would say Scream but it's gotten so rough in two years...  Scream is the smoothest running of the bunch I've been on. At Termination Day we rode 5 times in a row without stepping off. FOUR times in the VERY VERY back were butter smooth. ONCE in the next row forward was rattling and rough.  SO.... It would appear that the smoothness of the ride can vary greatly depending on the condition of the specific car you are riding.  -Mr. Bebe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calicoasters Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 Out of the two I've been on Medusa (West) and Scream!, Medusa is the better coaster. Â I've had some bad rides on Scream! I still think it is a great coaster, with solid inversions and a slightly intense turn after the mid-course brake. I've ridden Medusa a lot (I'd say close to 50 times) but I've only experienced on 5 differant days, so I don't know if it has it's "rough days." Â Drop: Medusa > Scream! - Straight drops are more exciting/intense) Â Loop & Dive Loop: Medusa = Scream! Â Zero-G-Roll & Cobra Roll/Rollover: Medusa < Scream! Â Second Half: Medusa > Scream! (Cobra Roll is more intense, and 0-G Roll is surprisingly smoother) Â Theme: Medusa > Scream! - I really like the station and queue, and the parking lot stripes are more visible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jcoaster Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 I have been on 3 different floorless coasters, and I must say, I was impressed with all three. If I had to put them in order it would be: Â 1. Dominator 2. Medusa:East (No I have not ridden Bizzaro yet) 3. Hydra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valleyfair! Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 I've ridden 3 and I would rank them... Â 1- Hydra 2- Medusa (East) (Before Bizarro) 3- Scream! Â Hydra I found the smoothest of the 3 by far and the layout was much more unique then Medusa or Scream. Medusa was great as well, I really didn't enjoy Scream! much.

themeparkman25 Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 I don't know if I can necessarily compare the dive machines floorlessness to the floorlessness of a labeled floorless coaster. I don't know if much can beat sitting out on Griffons 1st or 10th seat in the front row hanging on the first drop, but for some reason I fell in love with Kraken when I rode it. Albeit I have only ridden Griffon, Sheikra, Kraken and Scream!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHILLERLC1 Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 1. Bizarro - Medusa East 2. Medusa West 3. Dominator 4. Superman: Krypton Coaster 5. Kraken 6. Scream! 7 Batman: The Dark Knight 8. Hydra I think I've been on every floorless in the country. Â I've called Hydra a B&M family floorless mine train because it's quiet slow at times. I dislike the slanted stretched out cobra roll.

Sir Clinksalot Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 I'd rank the ones I've ridden like this: Â Superman Krypton Coaster - SFFT Medusa East - SFGAdv Medusa West - SFDK Hydra - Dorney Park Scream - SFMM Â I'm pretty sure those are the only ones I have ridden.

atem122 Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 ^Is Medusa East really that much better than Scream? I guess Scream's rattle from hell and parking lot theme make a pretty big difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bolliger&Mabillard Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 ^I've been on both, and they're both pretty dsapointing. It's just that Scream! doesn't have a two hour wait this season... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franc Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 ^^I have ridden both and in my opinion, yes, Medusa/Bizarro really is better. However, I also agree with Bolliger&Mabillard that both are disappointing, even though I did enjoy Medusa/Bizarro... but I had higher expectations.

redfoot12 Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 I've got Superman: KC coming up later in the week, but for now it's:  1) Kraken 2) Dominator 3) Medusa East 4) Hydra  (I don't count Dive Machines but if I did, Griffon would be #2) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haiderodes Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 To date Ive only been on Kryton, Scream and Medusa West. I'd say Krypton is by far the best I have been on...especially if you can get an early morning ride before the trims kick in. Â Medusa West is also big fun, especially the drop off the midcourse. The rattle on Scream kinda kills it for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snoflake15 Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Of my two floorless its 1) Kraken 2) Scream. Â I rated both 9/10 tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess Scream's rattle from hell and parking lot theme make a pretty big difference  I don't know if it's just the rattle and parking lot. I found Medusa East to be much more intense than Scream when we rode it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cixot Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 Never been on one. I'm hoping to get on a lot of them later this year, or next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolcalicoaster Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 ^^I think its all of the above. It just seemed as if SFMM just threw together a coaster without any thought. Parking lot, cloned coaster, and one more coaster to add to their count. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
almightyfire Posted July 14, 2009 Share Posted July 14, 2009 I dont see the big deal in floorless coasters because I dont think they add an element of thrill at all but I would have to say Scream is my favorite to date. I have been on maybe 7 and Scream stood out and Batman at Gegua Lake that is now The Dominator is 2nd, and Superman Krypton Koaster is third at SFFT.

SFjunkie2010 Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 1) Scream! 2) Batman: The Dark Knight  that's all I have for now I think.... not a great list yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wood Dragon 1988 Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 In 2 weeks I'll have two more floorless credits, but for now: Â 1. Medusa (East) 2. Hydra 3. Batman at SFNE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
