A floorless roller coaster is a variation of a sit-down roller coaster. Unlike most sit-down roller coasters, floorless roller coasters do not feature a floor. The trains are designed so that riders' feet will safely hang above the track. Currently, only the world-famous coaster manufacturer Bolliger & Mabillard designs floorless roller coasters. Another roller coaster manufacturer, known as Maurer Söhne, has designed a similar ride, however it has not yet been sold to any parks.
