Speaking of snakes Six Flags Discovery Kingdom has Medusa.

Medusa; named after the snake haired Gorgon of Greek Mythology, was also added to Six Flags Discovery Kingdom in 2000.

Floorless coasters brought a breath of fresh air to what was getting to be the tired genre of looping coaster in the early 2000's.

Arrow Dynamics and Schwarzkopf brought the looping coaster to the world in the 1970's and 80's. Bolliger & Mabillard created a few looping coasters in the 1990's but nearing the end of the century it seemed like the style was going away. Then in 1999 B&M created the floorless coaster and suddenly looping coasters were a thing again.
