After more than 25 years Medusa remains the tallest, longest, and most inverting roller coaster in Northern California.
This floorless, multi-element roller coaster at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom has seven thrilling inversions, including the first-ever "Sea Serpent" double inversion following a 150-foot drop. Adding to the excitement thrill-seekers are seated in "floorless" trains leaving nothing between the rider's feet and the steel track below.
