SeaWorld’s Kraken FAST Facts
What: Kraken, the tallest, fastest, longest and only floorless roller coaster in Orlando. A massive, mythological underwater beast is unleashed from the depths of the sea to take SeaWorld guests on the ride of their lives – lifting them higher, dropping them longer and spiraling them faster than any other coaster in Orlando. Kraken is the dominant coaster in the vacation capital of the world, smashing all Orlando records. Although Kraken’s track looks like a traditional mega-coaster, a floorless car design sets it apart. Riders’ feet dangle as they sit on open-air, pedestal-like seats with nothing around them except shoulder restraints. There’s no one to hold on to, nothing in front of them and nothing below them – and only sky above. As Kraken hurls riders through seven high-speed loops, the only thing above is the ground. Paul Ruben, a noted
roller coaster historian has said this about Kraken’s extreme design:
"Imagine sitting in your favorite chair. Going 65 mph. With rails
racing between your toes. Turning head over heels." Guests can wander
Kraken’s lair on foot, coming face-to-face with live eels –
representing the fearsome serpent’s young – encased in transparent
"eggs." |
