Floorless Coasters are a particular form of B&M multi-looping coasters. The circuit of the coaster is heavily based on inversions, but the gimmick here is that the coaster train “loses” its floor before it leaves the station. Once passengers are securely seated, the floor folds away underneath the station, and the legs of the riders are left dangling over the top of the track. Floorless coasters have virtually replaced the traditional B&M sit-down coasters with a floored train, much to the dismay of many enthusiasts. Floorless coasters are commonly regarded as not being as forceful and exciting as the older B&M multi-loopers, where the trains have a floor.

B&M also offers a floorless version of their Dive Coasters. Following the success of Griffon at Busch Gardens Williamsburg in Virginia, SheiKra at Busch Gardens Tampa in Florida was retrofitted to have new trains without the floor. After all these years, the jury is still out on whether this really improves things or not, but all Dive Coasters built since have floorless trains.
