Ride Improvements

That bunny hop is pretty good, not nearly as good as the hills over the lagoon but any incline at that speed is awesome. I do think it would be cool to add in one or two bunny hops on that final run by the queues to give it the Magnum feel (while I know it is not possible). It does seem like you are going flat and straight for a while before you hit the final turn.

How about dropping the prices on sodas in line? Other than that, I'll take it like it's built.

It really didn't need improvements except getting the dispatch time right and the wheel problem, but those have been mostly fixed

how about having the turns in the tunnels being overbanked also. I think it would be cool if there were speakers on the lift doing a heart beat sound and it faster towards the top

300FTMONSTER said "I think it would be cool if there were speakers on the lift doing a heart beat sound and it faster towards the top". From what I've heard they were actually working on that. Perhaps that's why there are speakers next to the track. I don't think the PA lines through those speakers, but I could be wrong since I never actually tried them lol.

I think it would be so awesome if MF trains could be turned into floorless trains. The front seat would have a different meaning.

Floorless coasters are over rated. MF needs to be inverted. Then we could put the Iron Dragon cars on it.

Just think, on RCT that would have the rate of Super-Ultra-Mega-Extreme. :)

Floorless is WAY overrated. It's like imitation crab meat compared to real crab meat. WHY NOT JUST BUILD AN INVERTED? I call it, kick the track, instead of kick the sky. The one plus of these thing is you can see about 1% more than on a true invert. I don't recall ride ops falling of platforms on inverts also.

Well, until I ride a floorless coaster it sounds like a good idea. hmmppff.

I too actually think the idea is cool. Floorless isn't bad, its just that I feel it give's a similar experience to that of an invert. Not exactly the same, but close.

I think of a Floorless as a non-inverted, invert and the idea ranks up there with something like an inverted standup. Why bother doing something when a similar effect can be established with technology we already have. This of course is my opinion, and Floorless lover will totally disagree.

Big friggin deal, you see the track underneath you...personally, I'd rather see NOTHING under me but ground and people walking up and down the midway. But that's just my opinion

Thing is, when I rode Batman at Six Flags Geauga Lake, since I only had time for one ride, I rode in the last row of the train. What I noticed was that because of the ****ing shoulder bar, my field of vision ended just above the wheel cover for the seat ahead of me. So I couldn't see any track on that ride. The floorless thing did absolutely NOTHING for that ride. They'd have been better to use the Speedcoaster train. No mucking about with the floor comb, your feet still don't reach the floor, and best of all, LAP BARS. :)

I do agree with you Dave about Batman and obstructed views...I experienced that as well, however I did LOVE Medusa at SFMW!! This floorless just seemed an altogether different and much more visually pleasing experience.

mf laps = 100! No More No Less!!

Agreed. I think a lot of it has to do with it's straight first drop and HUGE inversions.
