The first time I visited Great Adventure, Medusa was the newest coaster in the park. It also had the distinction of being the very first floorless coaster. Suffice it to say, the line was enormous, and the wait took a long time. Still, the ride was worth it. On my return trip to Great Adventure this past summer, four new coasters had been added, and while they all had quite lengthy lines, Medusas was now nonexistent. It almost felt like the ride was hidden away from everything else in a corner of the park. However, Im glad to say that the ride was still as good as it was back then, and Im glad reviews on this site are still very positive. B&Ms floorless design is a winner, both the trains and the track layout. Medusa is all about fast and powerful inversions, each executed in a smooth and unrestricting floorless seat. It may not be the king (or, I guess, queen) of Great Adventures coaster arsenal anymore, but youve got to give credit to the ride that started a great coaster trend, especially one that still holds up so well itself.
