Question about floorless rollercoasters

I know this is a stupid question, but I was just reading about a floorless rollercoaster and was wondering how you get on and off the ride without stepping on the track if there is no floor?

It's a really complicated (and ingenious) system. Basically the floor is split in half (right down the middle of the train). Using a bunch of hydraulic systems and such, the floor lowers a little bit (once everything is clear) and then folds out and under itself. I'm not sure where you could find one, but if you did a search for Medusa, I'm sure you could find some good pics of it in action.
