Medusa is my favorite floorless ride. I love how the Dive Loop goes right into the Zero-G Roll. I really love how smooth it is.

One of the better sitdown loopers I have been on. I like the drop on it and its helix.

I love this coaster because it's smooth and exciting. I recommend sitting in the front -- you will love it. Even though Nitro is my favorite ride in the park, in a way, Medusa is better than Nitro.

This is a really good ride, I prefer Hydra, Kraken and Dominator over it though.

My Second Favorite Ride! THIS RIDE IS GREAT! It is smooth and despite the not-too-big drop in the beginning The loops and twists whip by with speed that will keep you screaming from beginning to end. Better yet i usually dont see very long lines on this ride! MEDUSA IS AWESOME! X-D AND WAY BETTER THAN HYDRA! Hydra honestly just didnt do it for me. i find hydra boring actually

For an original B&M floorless, this is a very good one. Aged really well and the elements are executed really well.
