What ride is Kracken? I'm not even sure if i'm spelling it right.. I saw it advertised for Sea World I think. What type of ride is it? Floorless? Where is it? If it is Sea World, damn then I was just down by there! :mad: can someone fill me in?

Is is a florless rollercoaster at seaworld Florida

Yes, Kraken is a floorless coaster (B&M) at Seaworld, Florida, in Orlando. It's the only coaster at Seaworld, but apparently it's a great one! (Hopefully this fall I'll find out myself!)

I was down their a year ago and that is on wicked coaster. It looks better than BKF, but BKF is a lot better paced and compacted. I'm surprised that Kraken has yet to post anything about the coaster.

Yea, it's a floorless Multielement. it has 2 loops, a Dive Loop, Camel back roll, Cobra Roll, and Corkscrew. It dives underground too! It's well themed to "Kraken", a mythological sea monster. The Kraken has supposedly surfased at Sea World, along with Atalantis I suppose. It's smooth and the track doesn't make a "B&M roar" because the Spine is filled with Sand.

Below is an extremly accurate drawing I did of the Kraken beast. I made it in Paint, I think. I really don't remember. I might have been drunk.

im visiting SW i think the 23rd........ i cant wait i wanna ride it!!!!!!

Nice pic of the Kraken, Kraken. It looks like a mix between a stuffed animal, a rabid beast, and a soccer ball. Sigh, some people's artistic sides are only manifested when they're drunk (as so you've quotted Kraken). Anyway, Kraken is one hell of a floorless coaster! It's one of the best floorless coasters out there. I'm having a hard time deciding whether it's the best floorless or Medusa (Six Flags Marine World) is. Theming wise, Kraken takes the cake. The entrance of the ride looks cool with the sculpture of the sea creature. The pavillion (loading station) kinda needs a bit more color. Well, it does remind me of the buildings in a beach resort. Kraken's trains look really awesome! I love the color simulating the skin of the sea monster. The coaster is very noticeable throughout Sea World Orlando (DUH?!!! it's the only coaster there - Journey to Atlantis is more of a water ride than a coaster). I like how Kraken looms over and under waterfalls and tunnels. The corkscrew at the end really took me by surprise because it was after you popped out from underground. Anyway, the ride is truly amazing! I love it! I wanna go back to Sea World Orlando and ride it again.

It is a B&M Floorless coaster with 7 inversions

I have to ride that soon.

It is a great ride. Great theming the only thing is that when they first announced the ride they said it would dive underwater but because of fire hazards they couldn't do it. so it only dives underground.

It's a great ride, but a sucky layout as an "out and back" coaster. That layout doesn't work with a floorless. It has a schweet 155ft 1st drop. The only floorless coaster w/ 2 loops!!! It's VERY underrated. It goes underground twice.

I'd have to disagree with whoever said that Kraken was not as good as BKF, its better and may be the best, but i think its equal to Medusa

And the dive underwater was abondened not because of fire hazard, but because the firemen wouldnt be able to perform a rescue so they got rid of this element, but Kraken is still awesome
