raptor6 Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 I rode Kraken for the first time in December and it was fantastic! Very fast and old-school B&M forcefulness! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyrbuzz Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Sea World Orlando does have a nice balanced coaster selection. I agree Kraken is a very good floorless coaster that is smooth as glass yet forceful enough to be really fun. I only wish the under ground parts had more themeing instead of the steel walls but hey no biggie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike541x Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Kraken is a great ride, it's my second favorite floorless, even though I've only been on three. Still won't forget my first couple rides in the rain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kraken & Manta Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 I quite enjoy the ride. But I think that goes without saying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodie Warrior Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 I don't exactly "love" Kraken. I mean, it is good, but it has developed a bit of a rattle. However, I do like how it passes through tunnels. It is #10 on my list. I put all the other B&M's in Orlando above it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djcoastermark Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Much as I really like Kraken, and lord knows I've ridden it plenty of times, (marathon riding at opening with flcc etc ) I think I still prefer Dominator at KD. However Dominator in its almost parking lot location doesn't match its original location in the swamp at Geauga Lake, Natural fog at night in the swamp cant be beat imo. But still, I really do like the layout , some pops of air and the forces of Krakan. It's good ole B&M ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaithPlus1 Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 I like Kraken, but it's too smooth, IMO. I like Hulk nearby much better I couldn't disagree more. Ive been on both and Kraken, IMHO, is far better. Hulk is neat to look at, the station and Cue are cool, but it's rough as hell and the layout is kinda boring. Kraken is kicka$$ all the way through. The layout is awesome and I Love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Yeti Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Kraken has some great moments which are what make the ride stand out to me. While the drop and first loop both are disappointing, the rest of the ride is pretty great. The second half has a good loop and great trenches, but would of course be better at a higher speed. Dive loops are always awesome, and the zero-g roll and cobra roll are easily among my top 5 in their respective elements. I would say it has gotten a little bumpy over the years, though not nearly as bad when the train is full. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midgetman82 Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 A thread on one coaster?! Hmm. Well, I gotta throw my love out there for Kraken as well. Hard to not want to enjoy this B&M classic whenever I'm at the park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xmeister Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 Kraken's drop off the MCBR is oddly one of my favorite moments on a coaster! It ranks up there with that speed bump right before the cobra roll on Kumba. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajfelice Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 For me, Kraken was a huge surprise. I expected a very good ride, but not a ride that would outdo Manta (still an amazing ride in its own regard) a few steps away. Each element featured great forces and taken at the perfect pacing. Even better, after a small break in the action on the MCBR Kraken continued on like it never missed a beat. Easily my favorite floorless, and probably in the top five coasters I have ridden with inversions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jynx242 Posted February 12, 2014 Share Posted February 12, 2014 The thing that strikes me about Kraken is how very re-rideable it is. It is a lot of fun and a coaster that I could easily marithon. Kumba is my favorite B&M in Florida, but Kraken is easly my 2nd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
