i305

Last year (October), I ran across an invite on FB for a video/photo shoot so I decided to go. The "prize", riding i305 multiple times straight. It ended up being 10 times in a row. I wasn't that impressed and this was sitting all over. It doesn't go anywhere near 90 MPH for one thing. The drop, sure it's high and all, but I didn't grey out at all and my head wasn't banging all over the place.
Volcano and Dominator are better than this (I know, both are floorless coasters and shouldn't compare).

I agree that Volcano is better. However, I completely disagree with saying Dominator is better than Intimidator. I.can only understand if you Think Dominator is the best ride in the park, which I can't say it is. Dominator<I305. Don't get me wrong, I like Dominator, but I305 beats it In speed, height, and intensity, integral parts of a good ride, or at least for me. 
Other than blacking out for 60% of the ride my first time on Intimidator (I rode it twice to make sure I got the whole layout), I definitely enjoyed it a lot more than the other steels in the park (sans the bobsled, I love bobsleds ). I seriously give i305 the nod over Millennium Force because IT HAS FORCE; it may not be the best layout or have a lot of airtime hills but it definitely packs more force than MF.
I didn't like Dominator at all after the Cobra Roll, because I swear B&M misunderstood Six Flags when they said "We want fancy and unique." The layout certainly is unique, but the transitions don't fit even for a B&M :\. I've only ridden 2 other floorless coasters so far but from my experience Medusa is much, much smoother and overall more fun (because you're not supposed to be rattling your head in an inversion like an Arrow-coaster) and although Hydra has some rough spots none of them are in an inversion; usually I just get a slight kick to right or left, nothing jarring.

Floorless coasters, generally speaking, are the best ones out there. It feels more "loose" in my opinion.
