This Bolliger & Mabillard Floorless model features a 144-foot drop, as well as two loops, a dive loop, a zero-G roll, a cobra roll and a corkscrew. Keeping with the SeaWorld placement, the coaster is themed to a legendary sea serpent kept by ocean god Poseidon. Kraken the coaster got a bit of an unlikely publicity boost from a theme park rival when Disney's "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest" featured the legendary Kraken the sea beast throughout.

The smoothest and funnest rollercoaster I've ever been on. It's also nice to feel the breeze on your feet after walking around the park all day long! 10/10 - D H

B&M did again with this monster of a ride. It's basically identical to another coaster here in California called Medusa but I love the theming here with the eels and the Kraken myth! - Terry R

This is a great, thrilling coaster. Nothing beats a B&M masterpiece like this one. But it could use some added theming. - David Garey

this may be my 2nd favorite coaster [behind manta], and it's DEFINITELY in my top 5. i won't lie and say it isn't scary; it is one of the most intense coasters i've ever been on. i went on 3 times in a row [i don't recommend doing that] because it was so amazing. it looks daunting, but just get your courage and do it! - Rebecca V.
