Well, this was the first floorless that I
rode in 2001, and what an experience it was. The idea with the
floorless however, isn't much of a magnet to me because it just
feels the same as an inverted coaster, nothing that special.
If you ride the front row, the floorless experince is a lot
more extreme. The ride in itself though is great, something
that you have to ride when you're at the park. The height is
very descent, and then you hit the large loop and large "mickey
ears", what a great ride. It is a very smooth ride with
a great amount of unique inversions high in the air, then at
the end, you stay ground level going through dual corkscrews,
opposing the rest of the ride. Very cool! Themeing is also great,
fora Six Flags park. Overall, one great coaster that shows how
new coaster concepts are being created!
