This week’s rollercoaster introduction is for the the world’s first floorless rollercoaster, the twisting steel rollercoaster called Medusa, which was built in 1999 an has a total of seven inversions! At least three of them are visible in the picture below. The picture is dominated by a cobra roll, which means two half loops combined by two half corkscrews, thus making the track do a 180 degree turn back to the way it came.
A similar cobra element can be found on the Tornado rollercoaster in Särkänniemi amusement park in Finland, but as the Finnish saying goes: “Everything is bigger in America”, that cobra roll is probably at least half the size of the one on Medusa! The queue line for the Medusa begins under the cobra roll, and the on-ride camera is attached to the Medusa sign, so in order to get a goofy on-ride photo, we have to remember to make funny faces at that spot :D! The Medusa is most definitely going to be an aweosme and wild ride, since it sores to a height of 142 feet and has a top speed of 61 miles per hour. It’s length is close to 4000 feet and the ride time is more than two minutes, which is quite a lot compared to many rollercoasters in Finland, FUCK YEAH =)!
