An outstanding B&M floorless coaster, and the first on the west coast. This Medusa outshines its eastern counterpart as well as Scream down south at Magic Mountain by having a straight drop as opposed to a twisting, curved drop. I much prefer that. Other than that, they are all pretty similar, except that this one has a roll over rather than a cobra roll (you enter and exit the inversion in opposite directions here). My favorite inversion on this coaster and all B&M floorlesses is the zero-g roll, which flips you pretty forcefully and then yanks you out of it. This ride is constructed out over some old parking lot, so there is not much theming, but it makes for a great-looking welcome to Marine World.
