Kraken at Seaworld, check out this incredible floorless coaster at SeaWorld Orlando

Kraken is a steel floorless roller coaster that opened at SeaWorld Orlando on May 27th, 2000. Kraken is manufactured by Bolliger & Mabillard (B&M) and can be found in the Sea of Legends area of the SeaWorld park.

The Kraken roller coaster is named after a fictional sea monster of the same name. Kraken has a height of 153 feet, a top speed of 65mph, and a track length of 4,177 feet with 7 inversions, including two vertical loops, a dive loop, a spiraling camelback zero-g roll, a cobra roll and a flat spin corkscrew.

To ride the Kraken coaster, guests need to be a minimum height of 54 inches (around 137cm).

Kraken operates with three floorless trains. Each train seats 32 riders in eight rows of four. This gives the ride a theoretical hourly capacity of 1500 riders per hour. The open-air trains feature seats that leave riders legs dangling above the track. Riders are restrained with over-the-shoulder restraints. As the trains are floorless, the station has a retractable floor for safe boarding.

Kraken is themed after the mythological sea monster of the same name, kept caged by Poseidon. Much of the ride is located above water, with three sections featuring subterranean dives. The ride's station and surrounding area are themed as Kraken's lair. Eels are said to be Kraken's young and therefore feature throughout the ride's queue.

After riders have boarded, the station floor is retracted and the front gates open. Kraken departs with a right U-turn out of the station. This leads directly to the 153-foot-tall (47 m) chain lift hill. At the top, the train crests the lift hill and follows a fairly level turn to the right before dropping 144 feet (44 m) towards the ground. The ride then enters the first 128-foot-tall (39m) vertical loop followed by a diving loop, passing by Mako's lift hill. A spiraling camelback (zero-g roll), where riders experience a feeling of weightlessness, is followed by a cobra roll. A banked turn to the left leads into the mid-course brake run. The exit from the mid-course brake run drops down directly into the second vertical loop. A subterranean dive into Kraken's lair is followed by a corkscrew. The ride concludes with a final brake run and a short path back to the station.

SeaWorld is made up of several areas or seas as they are known. These sea areas are the Port of Entry, Sea of Shallows, Sea of Legends, Sea of Ice, Sea of Delight, Sea of Mystery, Sea of Power, and Sesame Street Land.

SeaWorld Orlando also has a variety of coasters including Mako, Kraken, Manta, Ice Breaker, Super Grover's Box Car Derby, and a brand new coaster Pipeline: The Surf Coaster which is a first-of-its-kind roller coaster opened in 2023.

SeaWorld Orlando is a theme park and marine zoological park, in Orlando, Florida. It is owned and operated by SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment.
