Hey SFA, I hadn't thought of that one before, but I have thought of a floorless suspended. Picture a suspended coaster with B&M inverted or Vekoma SLC style trains. I think trains like that could breathe new life into alot of old suspended coasters, but unfortunately in most cases they probably couldn't be modified in that way because most suspended coasters come so close to grazing things beneath the trains. XLR-8 is a perfect example. There's literally dozens of trees that it flies around which you can easily grab with your hands as you go by, and who knows how close some of those treetops are coming to the bottom of the train, but with your legs dangling beneath you, the view below sure would be sweet! Stand-ups are my least favorite type of coaster, but I'd still like to see all of the possibilities and variations on them that could be done getting built anyway, just to prove that it can be done. I've heard so many people balk about how IMPOSSIBLE a stand-up this or a stand-up that would be, and I just laugh about how skeptical they are, and remind them that before the first traditional stand-ups were built, no one beleived there would ever be a stand-up coaster either. I don't know why so many people who call themselves coaster nuts act like it's so difficult for designers to engineer ANYTHING these days, when every single year the industry surprises us with yet another seemingly impossible feat. I guess you just have to be a true coaster NUT to believe!
