Bizarro

Roller coaster
Minimum height to ride: 54 inches

About Bizarro

Originally known as Medusa and now rethemed as Bizarro, this is not just any floorless coaster, but the world's first floorless coaster. This coaster will throw you through seven inversions, including a vertical loop, dive loop, Zero-G roll, cobra roll and interlocking corkscrews. Its makeover for 2009 includes all new smoke, fog, and illusion effects and an on ride sound system, not to mention a new purple paint job.

As of memorial day weekend, 2009, this attraction is now open to the public -- Last edited by D-Man O'Connell

Some of the updates to make this "Bizarro" are visually appealing but all were unnecessary. This is just a fun smooth ride. The sound effects were almost distracting. - Jean Seo-Park

Before Bizarro, I had ridden two B&M sit down looping coasters, Kraken and Wildfire. I was not expecting a lot of this ride, but was very surprised. I thoroughly enjoyed the theme on Bizarro, the sound could have been improved, but I think it enhanced the ride. The flame throwers were cool, as were the shields, mist and the buildings. The ride itself ran well, with the Zero-G roll being the best part. The only real negative was that there was a little shaky section was on the Cobra Roll (not so bad). I think the non-curving drops on B&M loopers are more intense, but the drop was still very fun. I would not classify the ride as that intense, which in some ways is a good thing, as it caters to a lot of people. My dad really enjoyed the ride. 9/10 - Jake Jones

This was a fun ride (not as good as Hydra), but I made sure to get to the front, because floorless coasters are usually "boring" unless you're in the front. The one time I rode it, it was in the rain. It kinda hurt, but not too bad, and the fire warmed me up. :D still, the special effects were a cool addition to the layout, but the music/sound effects were pretty odd, and kinda drowned out the awesome noise of a B&M floorless. Still, great and cool ride, but not amazing. - Eli Katzman

The new themeing definitely improves the ride, but the very segmented soundtrack was not as polished as I had expected. SFGAdv has definitely made a pretty good ride a little bit better, but it's not going to blow anyone away. - Russell Meyer

A good solid ride. - D-Man O'Connell

My favorite coaster in the park!!! I don'y know what the recreation will be when they do construction on it, but i will try it! Love this coaster!!! Although i do agree with the mining company theme thing, very random. - katie c

Absolutely average. Not very exciting, and I agree with David- the Medusa mining company was a confusing theme. I didn't get that one. - K P

Good ride, not anything spectacular. A bit rough going thru the corkscrews, it has some ear whacking going on. Dominator blows it away. - Christy Shuman

Good but not great. And as of 2008, it's starting to show its age a bit (the ride is getting a little rough, and it badly needs a paint job). I think these B&M floorless coasters often just throw you through loop after loop after loop without giving you anything different or unique (almost like the old arrow loopers). It's still a fun ride, but not even in the same league as some of the other rides in the park. - Matt Harris
