^If you won't drive a measly 90 minutes to ride Kumba, Montu, and Sheikra for free, then you shouldn't be allowed to call yourself an enthusiast. :lmao:

Floorless Sheikra = WORST GIMMICK EVER!!!

Seriously, it makes zero difference on the ride. If they spent more than a dollar changing it, they really wasted their cash.

Awesome photos. Looking forward to more...

I quite liked Floorless Sheikra. Not a new credit by any means, but adds some fun to the ride (I rode in the front row), but that's my very humble opinion.
Scorpion was my first looping coaster, and also for all my brothers (even the youngest, who would ride whatever he was tall enough to get on at the time)

Spaceship Earth had some good and bad changes, though they need to change that "sculpture" back to the way it was before!

I think the floorless gimmick works better on Griffon, especially if you sit on the outside (then again, it was actually designed for it). It's a pretty strange sensation floating over the stairs as you cruise up the lifthill.

Maybe I am in the minority, but I actually do like the floorless concept better than the old trains. I think it makes a bit of a difference....well maybe only in the front row. Maybe it is because heights always make me a little nervous and that you even get a better view as you are hanging for a few seconds before the drop.

I'm a back row guy myself, but I still think it's a slight improvement having the floorless trains on SheiKra.

Oh and I agree that the floorless trains work much better on Griffon, but I still like the back the best on that ride too.
