The World's B&M Floorless Coasters - By The Numbers

Let's break down the world's B&M floorless coasters by the numbers - which one can boast the most height, speed, length, the best pacing and the MOST prime ride time?

I wouldn't mind seeing more of these pop up again. B&M don't have the most creative designers but you just can't beat their quality. Europe has drawn the short straw, we have only two and one is teeny tiny.

Can't get enough Superman krypton coaster. I think it's underrated when people talk about fiesta Texas.

I remember when I was the world's biggest B&M fan, especially for Floorlesses. They don't have great pacing but they are paced very well even though that makes no sense. They are not super forceful but they are fun.

When I was a ride operator at krypton coaster, guests would always ask how long the ride is, cool to finally know, even though I don't work there anymore. Funnily enough the SOP lists the ride duration as 3 minutes, which is definitely a stretch, although we probably dispatched slow enough that guests were likely on the track for 4 to 5 minutes including break runs and lift.

Bonus for anyone reading this one, if you are in line for krypton coaster, make sure to ride the train with the black seats, it is much smoother than the blue seat train.

Also, please wear shoes and place loose articles to the side, anything lost on this ride is lost forever. There were times where we spent long times looking for phones only to find none.

I'm glad to see my old girl in the top three. (Kraken) When I went for the soft opening, I remember how buttery smooth she glided. She has shown her age lately. I hope SeaWorld does a rehab on Kraken like they did on kumba.

After riding Kraken and Rougarou the floorless model gimmick has really grown on me!

I’ve ridden Domminator, Scream the parking lot coaster, Rougarou, Kraken, and Bizzaro and I would have to agree with your assessment on all of them. The Rougarou conversion did improve the ride experience but did nothing for its overall roughness. Kraken and Dominator are the best floorless coasters I’ve been on.

I’ve only ridden Scream and Krypton coaster from this list and I think they’re both really fun rides. I love just watching the view while I’m on Krypton coaster. Hopefully i’ll be going back in a couple weeks. I’m from southern california, so I was able to go to SFMM in May and SFFT for spring break in April while i’m in school in Texas. I’m going to miss those short/non-existent lines from earlier this year.

Haven't ridden it, but Hair Raiser at Ocean Park looks to be by far the best floorless based on its incredible location and #1 in pacing. Floorless coasters are always fun if forgettable, so the incredibly unique location and unconventional layout really puts it over the edge.

You already know this is gonna be another banger

I've experienced floorless train on dive coaster, and it gave much more freedom than normal sitdown. I want to see dive coaster's prime ride time to see which has longer ride time.
Just to say my country has just 2 B&Ms, and they are much prime than other coasters in the country.

Superman: Krypton Coaster is amazing. Awesome drop, cool elements. Half way through you are like, "Is this thing still going??"

[t-rosebunnysadventures]

I’m so happy to see that Hydro from Dorney park made it on your list 🥰 i’m a huge fan of this ride I love the inversions and from the beginning they twist your upside down. It is a great B and M coaster

[Topitopi]

Kraken and Superman La atracción de acero are definitely my favs. I take Krakens layout and Superman first drop and two airtime hills (really rare on a B&M).

[CoastersTravels]

Interesting set of stats. Didn't expect Firebird to rank that high in pacing! Can also agree with the rankings on Bizzaro and Kraken since I've been on both.

[ArthurTerry-weuv]

Medusa at great adventure was the first B&M floorless roller-coaster and it's layout is huge

[jwrailve]

Superman at fiesta Texas was my very first inversion coaster I was like 15 before I’d ride anything that flipped. Front row left seat furthest out, I rode every coaster front row that day and fell in love with coasters after that

[willlima]

Kraken's my favorite floorless coaster. It was more smooth this year for me than previous years with no head banging and was hauling. I like bizarro a lot too but some rides were quite rough (not bad but for a b&m bad). Also batman at SFNE seemed to be running smoother this year than from previous years.

[Skipatronic]

Kraken is easily my favorite...as it's the only one I've ridden.

lmao, being an enthusiast from India, I was so stoked to finally see a coaster from my country being featured.
Great work
