Hydra the Revenge was my first floorless coaster, and I absolutley loved it. The inital jojo roll provides a great weightless sensation, and it can be a little frightening for first time riders as you literally dangle from your seat. The first drop down the hill is fantastic and is quite and fast. From then on, the ride just throws the elements at you, one after another. The pacing is fantastic, and the ride NEVER lets up. I cant even point out my favorite element, because they were all equally awesome and intense. While riding in the front seat on Hydra is simply the best, the other seats on the ride are great as well, unlike on an inverted coaster. Seating on an end in any row provides for a fantastic ride with the forces and laterals being applied much higher. Hydra may be a smaller looking ride, but its sheer intensity and pacing make it one of the best that Ive been on. It reminded me of another one of my favorites, Raptor at Cedar Point, because of how relentless it is. This is definitely a must-ride!
