robbalvey Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 Let's see.... I would rank the ones I have been on like this.... Dominator (Knight Flight, whatever) - Geauga Lake Daemonen - Tivoli Gardens Superman Krypton Coaster - SFFT Kraken - SWF Medusa - SFGadv Scream! - SFMM Batman: Dark Knight - SFNE Medusa West - SFMW It was a tough call for my #2 between Daemonen and Kypton Coaster, but Daemonen just really packed a punch a lot like Top Gun at PGA does. 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) so my ranking on that ride is based on my '03 experience. --Robb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyingScooter Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 ^ Robb, I rode it this September. It was as smooth as ever. B&M's seem to age well. Given their attendance the past two seasons, I doubt it's been used as much as other floorlesses around the country/world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XANAX: The Ride Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 I have only been on three floorless coasters. Medusa (SFMW), it was my first Scream (SFMM), second Kraken (SWO) last year Scream has that typical dive-into-the-first-drop that gets me no airtime. This is so typical of so many B&M’s no matter their type. It seems to cushion the drop. I always figured they did this for space/footprint constraints. I don’t like it! I want air! But of the other two I mentioned they had actual non banking drops. This is a good thing! So to pick between the two, I would say it was Kraken because it has more themeing than Medusa.

X Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 Its really close between Scream and Medusa West, (the only 2 floorless coasters I've been on) But I'd say Scream wins for its 2nd half. It has an airtime hill in its 2nd half and Medusa doesn't. But I like Medusas 1st drop more than Screams and the Sea Serpent roll isn't speacial at all. But I love both rides.

downunder Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 I have only been on 4 Floorless coasters and I would rate them as follows: 1. Kraken (SWO) 2. Medusa (SFGAdv) 3. Scream (SFMM) 4. Batman: Dark Knight (SFNE) I think Dominator, Superman Krypton Coaster, and Medusa at Six Flags Marine World would probably supplant the ones in my list above if I had ridden them. As far as floorless coasters go I am non-plussed, if not riding in the front they are just glorified loopers. In the front, they are a lot better.

CoasterCrazy Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 These are my top three favorites out of the ones that I have been on. Kraken Medusa Scream Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnome Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 well, I've been on Scream and I've been on Medusa West, and Medusa West is simply amazing, and from what I've heard Kraken is nothing short of brilliance and one of B&M's best rides. Scream is fun, nothing spectacular, but I'm sure Medusa, although its a smaller version of Scream, blows scream away with its setting and everything.

65skylark Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 Of the two I've been on, Medusa (west) and Scream, I would rate Medusa 1st but they're both great IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
What Now Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 1. Medusa (West) 2. Medusa (East) 3. Scream! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tngdiablo Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 Medusa East B:DK Medusa East is just a classic, even after all these years, still only one semi-rough spot, forces galore, great front row ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick-Mac Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 Dominator at GL, just because I have ridden it a billion times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luisuron Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 Although I´ve only riden on superman la atracción de acero, I think it´s the best floorless because: 1. the first drop has more degrees than any other floorless, and is very tall (54.6 m., the park map says 50 m.) 2. It has two hills with good airtime. But it has a small defect (for me), I would like a dive loop instead of an immelman loop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ncf Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 Medusa at SFMW is the best floorless coaster, and the second best B&M coaster I've ridden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidmorton Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 I've been on (in order of going on them - I think that that affects your judgement somewhat - the first one that I go on has that novelty factor which tends to make me like it); Batman Knight Flight @ SFWoA Medusa @ SFGAdv Kraken @ SWO Superman Krypton Coaster @ SFFT Superman Atraccione de Acero @ WBMW and I think that Kraken edges it - its just kinda got it all.... I do like them all tho' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitro X 230 Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 1. B:TDK- short sweet and to the point, like B:Tr 2. Medusa (east)- unless you are in the front row, it's blehhh 3. Scream(!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tongui_spain Posted October 25, 2005 Share Posted October 25, 2005 Hello! I've only ridden a one coaster floorless, in Superman La Atracción de Acero en Movie World Madrid (Now Warner Bros.Park,oldest six flags gestion) it's more beautiful but in the main drop a wild good airtime!! you is a superman ,but the 2 airtime hills it's great ,the past saturday i put stand up in the airtime!! ,and too friends visit more parks in the USA (SF great adventure,Magic Mountain,Great america,Busch's Gardens,Universal Park,Disney parks...)say: the floorless in USA it's better but Superman la atraccion de acero is more better, i recomend visit Warner Bros.

Nrthwnd Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 Hello from Amsterdam - I have never ridden a floorless coaster of any kind in my (current) life, so I am looking forward to what ever the UK Tour offers in such an array as non-floored rides can only give. Un-floored oi! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapseofreason Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 Batman/Dominator at Geauga Lake (SFWOA). I would say Scream but it's gotten so rough in two years... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamsax Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 I've only rode Kraken but it's a fantastically smooth ride with inversions galore. Intense at the front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarryH Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 I've been on the following floorless: Medusa (SFGAdv) Kraken (Sea World Orlando) Scream (SFMM) Batman: Knight Flight (SFWOA) The Best is Batman: KF. If you sit in the back row, you get this whip sensation as you turn around and go down the first drop! I haven't encountered that sensation in any other floorless. It may be called Dominator now, but it will always be Batman: KF to me. The worst: Scream! Can you say, "Boring?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
