Having ridden every floorless in the US, I can say that Medusa at Gadv is my fave. I used to like Batman Knight Flight / Dominator the best, but anymore I crave that zero G roll.

If only Kumba was a floorless.

I have to agree (for once lol) with matt here.  Aside from the better theming I actually prefer medusa over kraken.  I also miss the b&m roar lol  kraken is still freakin awesome.

When I drove by Sea World I saw a train going up the lift on Kraken... we honked and waved to you :)

Did you see Manta's largest lift support was put up today? I'll try to get a picture tomorrow.


Yeah, that sucks about Chiller...I hate to see it like that. Hey, so we should get a group picture or something ok. I'll call you later!

yup.  walked under it actually.  the transfers are all in place as well so it looks like the station will start going up soon.  my friend ray was heading home monday morning after hhn and saw truckloads of mantis track heading down the turnpike.

now if only universal was this on schedule.

^You mean the electric go-karts that go 30 mph? There is one in North Jersey called V-17.
