Awesome ride. jojo is really awesome. First drop has insane airtime (especially in the front seat). It is intense. Of the 2 floorlesses I have rode (this and medusa) hydra takes the cake.

Hydra has opened, I've been on it. It's pretty good, but Medusa at Great Adventure is better. The loop before the chain lift on Hydra is really odd. It's too slow and you feel like you'll fall out of the seat (is that the purpose?).

Hydra is a pretty fun ride as floorless coasters go. I thought my first ride was top ten worthy. Each element seemed to be prefectly placed for a well-timed ride. The jojo roll and the first drop are my favorite parts. However my second ride was the usual bang-your-head experience that all floorless coasters give me.

This ride was pretty fun, but not as fun as I expected, probably because this was one of B&M's more G force deprived coasters. The Jojo roll was the best part of the ride, and I unexpectedly got some freefall on the drop after the lift.

IT'S SO TAME! It's like a kiddie looper. The Jojo Roll isn't even that good and the ride is overall not that fun. It does run better in the backseat and is a bit better during the night. The ride grows on you over time, but it's still not that great.

Well I hate to be critical of this coaster, but I wasn't too impressed with it. The Jojo Roll is pretty cool, because you feel like you're going to fall out of your seat. The first drop is awesome because I always love B&M drops that have zero G's on them. But the rest of the ride is rather tame. There is only one floorless coaster in this country that I haven't ridden yet (Medusa West), but so far Hydra is my least favorite. The rear seat on this ride is rather rough for a B&M. The front seat is cool and the middle seat is fun, but it's still nothing impessive. Medusa East, is much more intense, although it's definitely showing its age.

It's just an "okay" ride, nothing amazing. For the small amount of space it takes up, it's quite fun. The Jo-Jo roll is the best part. As everyone has said, you get a lot of hangtime through it. The first drop is good. The rest of the ride is just so-so.

We lost Hercules for this? Yay for boring, tame kiddie loopers. I'll stick with Medusa at Great Adventure.

This is a good coaster. It has some nice unique inversions, and it is a fun ride. Kraken and Dominator are better, but this is better than Medusa.

When I went to Dorney park a few weeks ago, their were no lines anywhere in the park. I got 12 rides on Hydra. Th Jojo Roll has to be one of the best sensations ever. You get a good spot of air on the drop. The layout is unique, and it's a good ride, but Medusa at GADV is still better. Surprisingly I had some headbanging, even though the coaster is only in it's 2nd season.

I like Hydra because of two things. The JoJo Roll and the unique layout it has. Great Ride. 7/10

I would like to take back my last statement - if you ride in the back, it's pretty forceful! So what if it's a little rough back there? It's no where near the roughness of SFDL's Mind Eraser. It's really a great ride.

This ride never really seemed to break in. It vibrates alot. Best part of the ride is the quick airtime filled first drop and the jojo is nice. It has an interesting layout but I miss Hercules.
