Medusa • Six Flags Great Adventure

Inversions

Rode this as Bizarro and I enjoyed it! It's not one of the most intense old-school B&Ms but it's still a great ride and layout! Not much else to say.

Theming Inversions Intensity

Medusa is a great floorless coaster. It still has great theming as a holdover from its Bizarro days. I'd rate it about the same as Scream, just slightly better due to better theming and setting.

Inversions Pace Hangtime Rattle

Has a little rattle but it powers through its layout unlike any other floorless coaster I've been on.

Medusa is also one of the better looking ever built with its cool layout, some snappy inversions, really intense moments, really good pacing, and some great add-on effects. While it could add some airtime hills, I still enjoyed Medusa, nonetheless. My favorite part of this ride is probably the zero-G roll since it delivers some great hangtime and pulls great whip! On the descent, the hangtime transforms into weak, but sustained floater airtime. I also really like the cobra roll because it actually feels pretty snappy as well. Overall, Medusa is a really good floorless coaster and it is one of the best coasters at Great Adventure.

Inversions Fun

Fun inversions, fun layout. The ride isn't special in my opinion, but it's good for what it is.

This was the first B&M floorless in the world. I first did this that magical day I conquered all the coasters at GAdv (except for Nitro and The Chiller.) I remember screaming "WHOO HOO!!" as I felt like I was fucking flying. The intense inversions had me all fired up! I remember when it became Bizarro, I kept joking about Bizarro Santa from Space Ghost, even though I knew who the Bizarro clones were from the comics, Superman TAS, and Super Friends. I think the new Medusa theme's colours are way too Nickelodeon, like Tatsu. Six Flags is Cartoon Network, dolts!

I first heard of this ride in 2009, when it recently had been renamed Bizarro. This was my first time hearing about the character in general. I thought all the quotes in the audio were interesting back then. But I didn't get to ride it until 9 years later. It was great. The intense inversions, especially that sea serpent in the middle, made me consider this ride a favourite. I didn't ride it again until October 2021, since it was closed on Autism Day 2019. After that, the next time I rode it was in June 2022, as Medusa. Better theming than Bizarro, TBH. This is coming from a DC nerd. It could have got rethemed to Medusa from Birdman, however. Haha.

Theming Inversions Smoothness Disappointing!

This is a pretty average floorless but not a bad one either. Not super intense or whippy but it’s got a really nice drop and hangtime filled loop as well as a long and smooth layout that flips you upside down plenty of times and the theming of it when it was bizarro made for some cool visuals and great effects for night rides.

Fun Layout

Solid layout, I really enjoyed the zero-g roll, and the cobra roll is pretty tolerable. I’m not really sure that the current theme is an improvement over Bizarro, though.

Fun Smoothness

This is my favorite B&M floorless. I generally don’t like this model, but there was surprisingly little, if any, head banging and they did a great job adding some fun theming elements into the ride.

Inversions Fun Duration

This is a very good B&M floorless coaster. It has several great fun inversions and a long layout

Was my favorite floorless for the longest time until a certain beast at Cedar Point made that no more. I'll say this once and say it again; people need to stop hating on this model. So underrated and one of the best B&M's in the world.

Inversions Intensity Smoothness Dead spots

Solid floorless. Lots of decently forceful inversions and the zero g roll is very snappy.

Theming Inversions

I’m not sure whether I like this or Superman at Fiesta Texas more, but it’s one of my favorite floorless coasters overall. The fire and water effects are a nice touch, as are the facade cutouts and forested setting.

Theming Inversions Layout Disappointing!

Loved this my first ride, from then on it just gets more and more boring.

Pretty dope ass ride but it’s gotten a bit rough

Theming Inversions Intensity

A good surprise of a ride. I was impressed by the near misses. The fire was cool and I thought the ending with the corkscrews was one of the best near misses ever. The ride was super smooth and intense as expected but the extra added theming, near misses, and effects really made me like this more then some other great floorless coasters like Kraken.

Theming Inversions Layout Rattle

A solid B&M floorless coaster. The inversions are fun, it has a good layout, and when the effects are working it adds to the experience. Some of the transitions are a little rough but nothing too bad.

Theming Inversions Location

Amazing B&M floor less. It starts off with an amazing chain lift as you get a great view of the Safari. Then I love the first drop through the logo's straight into a loop. Then a dive with fire when its not winter and effects are on. Then the next highlight is the great banana roll that goes right over the entrance. After the banana roll you go into the mid break run then into the part that's sort of like free roam. There's building cutouts you go around as well as 2 corkscrews that go over this spike/saw thing. This ride has amazing theming and you will never get bored at the stuff to look at. Even though Bizzaro is a little off to the side of the park it is most definitely a must do coaster at SixFlags Great Adventure.

Medusa was nothing new to me as I had already ridden Scream many times before this, but I appreciated the extra theming on this version. The operations were absolutely fantastic when I was there, running three trains and keeping the stacking to a minimum. I also loved how everyone was spamming the seat belt buckle clicking (seemed almost like a tradition at this park). Solid ride overall.

Inversions Comfort Fun Rattle

While not the most intense from this manufacturer, this is a really enjoyable floorless coaster. The vertical loop gives you decent hangtime. The dive loop and zero-g-roll are pretty forceless but are fun. The cobra roll is pretty smooth but into the mid-course break run is probably the roughest part of the ride. The helix and corkscrews are probably the best part of the ride. Other than the transition to the mid-course brake run, the ride is really smooth and is really fun. The effects... while cool but in my opinion, it doesn't add anything to the ride, one time when I went through the spraying auger thing, my eye got hit with water... that was uncomfortable but I close my eyes from now on. It doesn't have a long line either and is the only big coaster in the park (other than Kingda Ka) that can accommodate plus size individuals.

Amazong floorless coaster. Everything about it works for me. Love that a coaster rethemed to Bizarro is in a random spot in the park away from the other DC stuff. Brilliant. Got a few rides on it back to back. I was surprised to get a solid pop of airtime on a floorless. The effects worked! The layout is great and has good length. The cobra roll felt very different from others too. Old B&Ms are great rides. Probably my new favorite floorless taking over from the great Rougarou.

Inversions Fun Intensity Headbanging Theming

My dumb ass decided it would be a good idea to ride this coaster for the first time with an ear infection. Somewhere before the cobra roll I whacked my bad ear against the restraint and spent the rest of the ride sticking my head way out and wincing from pain. It also didnt help that a train full of Jerseys finest GP were incessantly clicking the metallic seat belt latches to the point of pissing off the ride ops. Also I personally hate the theme and wish it was still Medusa. Despite all of that its still the best floorless b&m ive ridden.

Pace Fun Smoothness

A tiny bit of headbanging, but it's intense, fun, and smooth.

ここにいると虚無枠になってしまうので、西武園に移設するべきです。

Theming Inversions Intensity

Your typical B&M Floorless coaster but with some dope theming on top. The course has you navigate the layout while being sprayed by mist and encountering some pyrotechnics along the way. You can also visit Scream! at Magic Mountain for the same exact layout albeit mirrored, a bizzaro Bizzaro of sorts.

Inversions Pace Layout

Moving efficiently from element to element, this ride turns you upside down smoothly early and often. The theming is well-placed, and the mist dispensers are welcome on a hot day. But the shining star of this ride was the zero G roll - the smooth rotation taken at the perfect speed to spin you without exerting any forces; this was the best-executed zero G roll I've ever experienced.
