Medusa (Six Flags Canada)

Medusa is a steel floorless coaster at Six Flags Canada

Statistics
The 3985 ft Medusa stands 150 ft tall. With a top speed of 63 mph, the ride features seven inversions including a 128 ft vertical loop, a 96 ft dive loop, a zero-g roll, a 78 ft cobra roll, and two interlocking corkscrews. Although the ride is a mirrored clone of the first Floorless Coaster (Medusa/Bizarro at Six Flags Great Adventure), they feature a slight difference in height of about 8 ft, and a difference in speed of 2 mi/h.

Trains
Medusa operates with three floorless trains. Each train seats 32 riders in eight rows of four. This gives the ride a theoretical capacity of 1,440 riders per hour. The open-air trains feature seats which leave riders' legs dangling above the track. Riders are restrainted with over-the-shoulder restraints. As the trains are floorless, the station has a retractable floor for safe boarding.

Ride experience
Once the train is loaded and secured, the floor is retracted and the train departs the station. A U-turn to the right leads to the 150 ft chain lift hill. Once riders reach the top, they go through a small pre-drop before dropping 141 ft to the right. The train then reaches a top speed of 63 mph and enters the 128 ft vertical loop followed by a turn to the left into the 96 ft dive loop. After the diving loop, the train passes the station and goes through a zero-g roll, where riders experience a feeling of weightlessness. The train then goes through the 78 ft cobra roll, a roller coaster element which inverts riders twice. Riders then enter the mid-course brake run which is located next to the lift hill. The train drops out of the brake run to the right and enters a 270-degree helix followed by the two interlocking corkscrews. Riders to through a small dip then enter the final brake run before returning to the station.
