There is not. And there never will be unless some other company develops a Floorless type coaster besides B&M.

Vekoma is working on B&M style trains, I saw a rendering somewhere, but I can't seem to find it. Since they already make launched coasters, I could see a launched floorless coaster happening soon.

An overbanked turn is a Roller Coaster piece that you might remeber this from the Superman: Ride of Steel. Basiclly its when a turn/curve that is 90 degrees. I dont personnally find them that big of a thrill. My real kick from most roller coasters are the chill in your stomach from a drop that makes your heart skip a beat. (But dont pay attetion to what I think)
