A photo tribute to the floorless coaster

[Theme_Park_Insider]

By Robert Niles: From time to time I pull out some of the photos shared by Theme Park Insider readers of great attractions around the country and world. Today, it's a tribute to Bolliger & Mabillard's floorless roller coasters.
We start with the world's first floorless coaster, Six Flags Great Adventure's Medusa, tricked out for 2009 and now known as Bizarro (http://www.themeparkinsider.com/reviews/six_flags_great_adventure/bizarro/):

And finally, a POV video from Kings Dominion's Dominator (http://www.themeparkinsider.com/reviews/kings_dominion/dominator/):

(By the way, we could use some decent shots of Scream (http://www.themeparkinsider.com/reviews/six_flags_magic_mountain/scream/) and Medusa (http://www.themeparkinsider.com/reviews/six_flags_discovery_kingdom/medusa/), if you want to help us out. Click the links to their profile pages, then hit the button to upload a photo. To my great regret, there appears to be no way to get the LA Times to either publish or send me the live-narrated POV video of me riding Scream on its media preview day.)
