Coaser-Joe Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Bizzaro at SFGAdv! Bizzaro #1 (Once you ride it, you'll know what this means) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maximo37 Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 I've been on 2 so far:  1. Kraken  2. SheiKra... (but even though that is floorless, it is truly labeled as a "Dive Machine"... is it considered a "true" floorless?!... no need to answer really, I'm just over tired and overthinking... time for bed...)  Doesn't matter though, because I prefer Kraken to SheiKra anyhow...

MattMattMatt Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Those "Dive Coasters" are, indeed floorless in the sense that they have no floor but anytime someone regularly refers to a floorless they mean the standard, 4-across B&M sit-down looper model unless they say otherwise.

Capitalize Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Out of Medusa/Bizarro East, Dominator, and Kraken (not including Dive Machines since I don't think that is what we're talking about)... Â I probably like Dominator the best. The layout is highly original (for a B&M at least) with the high speed turns in the first half. I feel like its one of the more forceful B&M's made since the late 90's, lots of positive g's and some floater air as well. Â 1. Dominator 2. Kraken 3.

MattMattMatt Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Of the ones I've ridden - Â SFGAdv's Bizzaro really kicked my butt in the back of the train this Spring. I've never been bonkers for the ride but to me it felt like it was running better than ever and the first half especially was really rambunctious and powerful and fun. Probably still my favorite, although I remember when it first opened one of the biggest things was comparing it to the similar but far superior Kumba. Shame none of the ones I've ridden still haven't approached that level of greatness. Â SFNE's I think is quite good and bit underrated but there's that unfortunate rattle through much of the train. Great first drop, great camelback inversion. Â Dominator never did it for me for two reasons - no camelback inversion, and a second half that always seemed a little sluggish and boring to me. That's too bad because the first drop, loop, and low turn around the cobra roll is probably way better than anything else on any floorless. The rest just doesn't add up to me. I haven't ridden it at KD but I'd probably be sad about losing the lakeside setting too which I always thought was way cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alilstronger Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Medusa is the only one I have ever been on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorkscrewFoley Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 I've only ridden Dominator when it was at Geauga Lake. Still, I thought it was pretty intense, and I do have to say those giant loops on a Beemer are just wonderful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redfoot12 Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 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)  After riding Krypton Coaster on the Texas trip:  1) Kraken 2) Dominator 3) Superman Krypton Coaster (I really enjoyed this ride but it wasn't as forceful as the top two. I got an excellent front seat ride at night during the ERT session. One of my favorite rides of the trip.) 4) Medusa East 5) Hydra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorkscrewFoley Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Yeah, you don't really hear much of Hydra. I know it's not as forcefull, but surely it's a bit more unique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReelBigFish419 Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 I haven't been on too many Floorlesses but I would have to say Bizarro would be my favorite. It was always great as Medusa and the recent additions only make it better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cavs Fan Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 I have only been on three but this is how they rank. Â 1. Hydra 2. Medusa 3. Scream! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RollingRunner Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 So far, the best floorless i've gone on is Dominator at KD. The forceful inversions, tight turns, and sustained floater off the MCBR make it one of my favorites. Hydra would probably be my #1 if it were just a bit less rattle-y, but the creative elements including the Jo-Jo roll make it an interesting ride.

davisal771 Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 I've only been on Scream! At SFMM and it was awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomanHORSEman Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 I've ridden Superman KC and Dominator. I prefer Dominator. SKC had a sick layout but it was so unusually tame for me I don't know why but it let me down. I'm riding Hydra monday I'm curious if it can give these a run for their money but i doubt it.

FeelTheFORCE Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 The ones I have ridden are Hydra, Dominator, Scream, Medusa (SFGAdv), and Shiekra (but that obviously doesn't count). I'd say my favorite is still Dominator, and I can't wait to ride it again after 3 years when I go to KD in about a week and a half! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagiMountainMan Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 (edited) I vote for Kraken first and Hydra second. Both are fun and unique, not a cookie cutter copycats like Scream, the parking lot coaster. Boooooring! If I want to ride Scream I'll go ride the original and better one at SFGADV.

Sir Clinksalot Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 Out of the ones I have ridden: Â Superman Krypton Coaster: SFFT Medusa East/Bizarro: SFGAdv Medusa West: SFMW Hydra: Dorney Scream: SFMM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kraken & Manta Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 Of the two I've been on, Kraken and Medusa (before Bizzaro), Kraken is by far the best. But I guess you could have figured that out by my username. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canobie Coaster Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 I've only been on two B&M floorless coasters to this point and unfortunately they weren't two of the more popular ones. However, despite this, I found Hydra and SFNE's Batman really fun. Of the two though, I liked Hydra better by a good deal. Â In fact, Hydra is my fifth favorite B&M after Behemoth, Apollo's Chariot, Dueling Dragons- Fire, and Dueling Dragons- Ice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomanHORSEman Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 Now that I've ridden Hydra I have to say I really enjoyed it. It's a great coaster. I actually enjoyed it more than S:KC but I still did not like it as much as Dominator at KD. The jojo roll was really cool and I liked the layout of Hydra for being a little bit different from the other two it definitely passed my expectations. Now I can't decide if it or Talon are the best coasters at Dorney neither of them really blew me away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cinciDAWGS12 Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 Top 3: 1. Dominator when it was at Geauga Lake. 2. Medusa when it was still Medusa at Great Adventure. 3. Scream at Magic Moutain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
