Twizzler Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 I have been on so many! It's hard to choose so I have to say Talon at Dorney Park! It's a very nice ride its smoothe at that! It feels like your flying! lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MASH80554077 Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 Well if were are including floorless dive machines I would have Griffon on top. I will not include it though so I favor Medusa (east) and then Hydra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coolcalicoaster Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 ^Apparently they are pretty much the same kind of coaster! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MASH80554077 Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 Twizzler, you have only ridden one floorless coaster, inverts hang below the track. You have ridden many inverts, but only one definition floorless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you explain?  Don't worry Twizzler, you'll get the lingo down soon enough!  It looks like Hydra is the only floorless coaster you've ridden according to your CF counter.  Check out the wikipedia link to understand the difference between floorless and inverted.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floorless_roller_coaster  - Lady Bebe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MASH80554077 Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 Floorless coasters are above the track and the floor drops out from beneath them.  http://z.about.com/d/themeparks/1/0/3/b/SFGAdv52.jpg  See how it's above the track but has no floor?

coasterbear30 Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 If I counted dive machines, I would say Sheikra is definitely number one but since I don't then I have only ridden 2 and I would rate them like this: Â 1. Kraken 2. Medusa (West) Â But that is not saying much because I found both of them very bo-ring! Not really any forces or intense feelings. I did like the floaty feeling of their huge inversions though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy_Behemoth_Lady_Jess Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 Medusa West. Even though it's just a parking lot coaster and not extremely themed (except the station area). I love that unique Sea Serpent roll the best. Still a fun ride and knocked Titan out of my number 1 spot. Twisty floorless B&M goodness! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atem122 Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 ^While some people love the sea serpent roll, I find it as just a cobra roll that was dropped at birth and went the wrong way. Medusa is still my favorite floorless though (looking at you Scream). I also don't think DM's should count as floorless coasters because that's venturing into "any ride that doesnt have a floor" area in which 4th dimension and wing rider coasters should also count.

metrock Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 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.   You know, after reading that list, I just realized that I have also been on every floorless in the country.  I'd place Kraken at #1. Back row right side is my fav seat on the ride.  The rest I don't really rank. But I'll say that I was really disappointed with Superman: Krypton Coaster. Medusa (East) is way better than Scream but not as good as Medusa (West).  Oh, and I look forward to Bay Area Bash and more rides on Medusa.

GriffonFan09 Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Griffon definitely. Even though it's technically considered a DIVE coaster, the word floorless is still in there since it's a Floorless Dive Coaster. And floorless comes first so... It's a lot better then regular floorless coasters but I'll get my chance to try out Bizarro/Medusa in Sept. That coaster any good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro_Gaga Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Sorry I'm new to the forum. I'm trying to fit in. But what do you mean by floorless. Can you explain? Â A Floorless Coaster is a roller coaster in which the seats are above the track, yet the floor retracts in the station leaving the riders feet dangling above the track. Â As can be seen here.

NewEnglandCoasters102.0 Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 I've been on Batman: the Ride (SFNE) & Kraken (SeaWorld Orlando). Out of those two I enjoyed Kraken the best. If you go at night (6-7PM on) its better and there is NO LINE!!!! I just went last year, I got to ride 8+ times in a row with no lines at all!! Best part is the dive loop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormrider Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 I've been on Medusa West 4 times in my life (despite living in Sacramento which is pretty close to Discovery Kingdom). I never thought to try riding it all the way in the back, so I thought B&Ms were wimpy since I only rode in the very front. Then last month I rode in the far back and it was a totally different ride. The dive loop and the zero-g and the sea-serpent were real highlights for the ride finally, and I could feel what the zero-g roll was intended to be felt like. I'm going to start riding more B&Ms in the very back from now on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
