I remember years ago when this coaster originally opened. I was a kid on vacation visiting my grandpa. He decided to ride it with me. A man in his late 70’s that barely ever took risks riding his first modern coaster. He passed a few years ago but that’s One of the coolest coaster memories I have👍🏻👍🏻
That drop is surprisingly great in the back row! Just rode it the other day after not having ridden for years, and I was shocked how great that weightlessness was! Kraken still kills it!
Went on this in 2003 and it was one of the smoothest thrills I've ever had. Me & my brother went on it about 15-20 times in a row, most of the time by ourselves because there was no queues at all, though we didn't really understand why. Everything else for the whole holiday felt tame in comparison.
I did 4 times in one day (well 3 in a row and 1 at night!) it was my first major coaster before the others were built around there - tallest at the time, gf had to convince me because of my fear of heights lol 😅 it was amazing!
@@Fn.rope68as a first roller coaster for me (except for that cowboy railroad mountain one in Disney prior) this was amazing, I'll never forget it, 4 times in one day and once at night - was a bit sore the next morning 😅
Love the new paint! The other three floorless coasters built in 2000 are Medusa at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom, Superman Krypton Coaster at Six Flags Fiesta Texas, and Batman Knight Flight at Geauga Lake, now Dominator at Kings Dominion.
Finally got to ride this yesterday, I rode it twice actually, amazing ride the feet up in the air oh that’s what I was doing the entire time I was in the back.
Ok guys I was one of the girls that was screaming😂 I personally think it’s fun to scream in a roller coaster for absolute no reason but keep in mind I DIDNT KNOW I WAS BEING RECORDED so pls if u want to watch the video without the yelling MUTE IT and if u can’t that sounds like a personal problem😂😂 bye now🤭
I rode that ride yesterday for the first time and that ride was so scary I hold on the whole time. I even had to close my eyes when it was turning and going upside down.
@@JoseVelasquez-sm9ue is this good for a person who is kinda scared of coasters but went on expedition everest in disney… because i’m going next month and i’m scared of being upside down
@@tey_. going upside down is amazing and not as bad as you think. It’s basically how you view the world but everything else is upside down you don’t really notice when you are upside down it’s hard to explain but if anything coasters that drop you are more scarier than going upside down
It's interesting comparing this to Kumba. Lots of the same elements, but Kraken's are bigger and it makes them take longer to complete which makes it feel more... I don't know if "relaxed" is the word. Kumba feels more wild and relentless, where Kraken feels more epic.
I find the twist at around 1:40/1:41 to be the best part of the ride. You can't really see it here, but if you're riding on the right side it lurches and it's the best.
Thanks for the breakdown! 🤔 Need some advice: 🙏 I have these words 🤨. (behave today finger ski upon boy assault summer exhaust beauty stereo over). Can someone explain what this is? 😅
I’ve always loved this coaster and remember riding it as a kid and teen. The floorless design and long layout is incredible! Not as big a fan of the green colors, though. I know it seriously needed refurbishing, but the color scheme doesn’t seem to fit the theme of the ride.
They had VR on this back in 2016 but removed it after that year. Thank goodness they did so too, it was such a hassle to get on the ride when they had it
Stfu its probably their first roller coaster and besides a car that fast is unsafe cause you can injure yourself and others. Stop trying to be different and "unfazed" You don't sound cool, you just sound like a brat.
Why not? I am afraid of heights but my GF convinced me and I did it 4 times that day and once at night, it was awesome but I don't like the climb up, the rest I loved 😅
going on this today!! its gna be my first coaster with loops in like 7 years lol, besides manta. im not a huge coaster person so i hopebi like it. edit: BRO. LITERALLY IF YOURE SCARED RIDE RN, THERES NO STOMACH FEEL RLY?? LIKE ITS JUST PRETTY FAST- my vision got blurry on the first loop but thats abt it, i was smiling the whole time its sososo good
Same except 4x in one day (never been on a serious coaster previously or since) but would go back on again when in Orlando - hence watching these videos 😅
I’m at Seaworld rn charging my phone and waiting to ride penguin trek and after I’m probably gonna ride this after. I’m scared😭 Edit: I rode it and it’s so fun it wasn’t as bad as I thought the 3rd inversion was kinda rough but other than that it’s super fun
Shame, you missed out - it's a classic one of a kind in a way, but I've yet to ride Mako and Manta but one of those I saw on YT only had a lap bar and there's no way I'm going on that one lol, Kraken has over shoulder down to the seat. You're basically sitting on a stool on top of rails with nothing below your feet. If you get the chance definitely try it out in case they dismantle it for something different, it's really amazing and no video can show you how it feels (3.9G's and a Zero G section) astronauts experience 3G's taking off in a rocket 😅
@@vapemcvaperson i don’t remember clearly but I think the mako is the highest roller coaster in Florida. I remember being at the top then dropping, it felt like my organs were about to fall out my body, I think it’s like 75 mph going down
@@jakethesniper1 Yeah when I was on Kraken it was the tallest and longest in Florida at over 4000' long, with a 155' height and 65mph - the others in the background weren't built yet. I know one of those is taller and faster for sure but Kraken has 7 inverted loops in quick succession and some corkscrews and camel backs but still feels like it's over too soon - even though I was scared initially to get on it, I'll try Manta next time I'm there, sounds terrifying that drop, but the flying horizontally would be awesome!

They would be great Howl-O-Scream actors

My grandmother did the same thing when wildfire in silverdollar city first opened
My family took my great aunt on Goliath at Six Flags and she had everyone riding with us laughing, such good memories 😂
@@sierrathebarbie It’s always the little things that make the biggest impact. Great times
@@sierrathebarbie which goliath? or which six flags?
I’m sorry for your loss
Those track colors are *gorgeous*.
Boss “mix whatever we have left in the tins”
It’s go away green so your not looking at it
It use to be light teal track with yellow supports
Absolutely. The previous colors did not look good.
I hate it now bring back the old ones
The first time I went to Florida, this was the first big coaster to really wow me! Absolutely loved it and it’s been a favourite since then
I will ride it.
It looks so good. I have a lot of affection for this coaster. Great to see it looking fresh again!
I’m guessing this was their first big roller coaster.
Yes and their first b&m
@@cameryn4705 They uhhh... they meant the person screaming lol.
@@jasonhook3884 thanks didn’t know what they meant
@@johngriswold4303 was referring to the screaming riders.
@@johngriswold4303 I knew that I meant the Orlando park
The Spanish swearing is the icing on the cake for this video...
Very nice.
lmao for real
Having Spanish as my first language really made me enjoy this video
Me too XDDDD
Same
That drop is surprisingly great in the back row! Just rode it the other day after not having ridden for years, and I was shocked how great that weightlessness was! Kraken still kills it!
my first big roller coaster 8 years ago...recently visited orlando, first stop was to sea world to relive this ride, amazing!
💯 I went on it a few times when it was first built before Manta and Mako were made and I look forward to revisiting it again 😂
Sounds like a horror movie, who is riding this thing?
You should see the pov from 2010, there was a fucking pig raptor on the ride lmao
THE REPAINT OMG??? IT LOOKS SO PRETTY,,

I agree this is still one the most fun coasters lots loops, lots twist, lots of speed.
I did 4 times in one day (well 3 in a row and 1 at night!) it was my first major coaster before the others were built around there - tallest at the time, gf had to convince me because of my fear of heights lol 😅 it was amazing!
I believe that this is the first video in which I heard riders cursing in spanish. I never heard the word "marico" so many times.
Marico means queer tho
What the fuck does kraken have to do with gay people :/
LOL who tf screams “queer” on a roller coaster
coasterforce while everybody is just screaming bloody murder: this is fine
I’m just leaving Seaworld and the kraken is the best ride it’s so much fun best ride in my opinion I love it 😍
It is, but what scares me about SeaWorld people overreact on the roller coasters but some of them ain’t even even scary😭
@@Fn.rope68as a first roller coaster for me (except for that cowboy railroad mountain one in Disney prior) this was amazing, I'll never forget it, 4 times in one day and once at night - was a bit sore the next morning 😅

"Maricooooo". Yes, they are from Venezuela.
I get it.
I'm from Venezuela
This is one of my favorite coasters of all time, one of the first I ever went on glad to see it's till there
Most underrated ride at Seaworld. I could marathon this one for hours!
I did 4 in a row - the last being in the dark. Awesome experience 😊
Fr I did it twice in a row one being my first time and at night also
I like how Seaworld has turned into an from an aquarium to an amusement park
Dude that was me and my sister screaming😭😭
NO WAYYY
Wait what 😆
This was probably the best roller coaster 🎢 I’ve ever been on, riding it at night time was thrilling.
For real! Same here 4 times in the one day and once at night, amazing and I'll never forget it 😅
Fr I rode it at night for my first time and I loved it
I fricking love this ride
The best 😅
Omg same
those dip areas they should add something with the theme considering giant squid type of creature add at least some decor
It sounded like someone was about to stroke out.
ESAS MUJERES ERAN VENEZOLANAS DONDE VAYAN 😅🤣🤣🤣🤣
Finally got to ride this yesterday, I rode it twice actually, amazing ride the feet up in the air oh that’s what I was doing the entire time I was in the back.
This was my first looping coaster and I loved it
I love these B&M floorless coasters
beautiful footage!!

THE GREEN TRACKS ARE SO COOL!
I rode that ride yesterday for the first time and that ride was so scary I hold on the whole time. I even had to close my eyes when it was turning and going upside down.
I went a couple days ago and rode this. I was terrified of loops until I went on this and now I love loops!
soooo fun

The Venezuelan girls screaming “MARICAAA” tho 💀💀💀💀
B&M has a thing with Vertical Loops, Dive Loops, Zero-g Rolls, Cobra Rolls, and Corkscrews! Its amazing!
It is not that bad.. just little hills up and down and sharp turns!
And a couple inversions
What row did you ride? I haven't rode a big coaster like this yet. Biggest I rode was pipeline which was already a lot of intensity?
This was my first floorless B&M, it was great and I did not regret it
This coaster does not disappoint
Is it just me but those windows look like shrek 0:21
I find the twist at around 1:40/1:41 to be the best part of the ride. You can't really see it here, but if you're riding on the right side it lurches and it's the best.
Its called a cobra roll and its the worst part in the ride imo
Thanks for the breakdown! 🤔 Need some advice: 🙏 I have these words 🤨. (behave today finger ski upon boy assault summer exhaust beauty stereo over). Can someone explain what this is? 😅
still one of my favorites of all time
I like that.
Me too 😅
Used to think this ride was a hyper, it just felt huge riding it 10 years ago. Awesome floorless B&M
Fr and my first floorless
At 0:03 play Overture from Witches of Eastwick musical and have a magical experience
When did it get a paint job?! I remember it being more a bluey green
For those who don't know, the people who ride this coaster are from Venezuela, country of I am.
Didn’t sound like they were speaking Spanish though
No they're not
My cousin was jealous that I was tall enough to ride this and she wasn't 🤣🤣🤣🤣 best ride I've been on in MY LIFE!!!!!!!!!
I’ve always loved this coaster and remember riding it as a kid and teen. The floorless design and long layout is incredible!
Not as big a fan of the green colors, though. I know it seriously needed refurbishing, but the color scheme doesn’t seem to fit the theme of the ride.
A great B&M layout/design and roar.
Which are the other three floorless coaster opened by B&M in 2000?
2:05 manicaaa 😂
Hahaha those girls screaming are 100% Venezuelan 🇻🇪
This would be so fun if i wasn't terrified of roller coasters😅
So was I but you should try it, you'll never feel more adrenaline and excitement
It’s not as bad as u think tbh
I really enjoyed this ride. I liked it more than Manta. Being upside down is not for me lol
What does it feel like when you go upside down? i’ve never gone on any looping roller coaster and I’m a little afraid to try it.
@@BardTheDragonProductions nauseating and I felt light headed
Oh. I heard it barely felt like anything.
@@BardTheDragonProductions It depends on the inversion type
"Moneeeeeeca!"
These girls are cracking me up!!
@P. B. Foote Go to your room. Go to Punny Jail.

Bro the people in the back😂they be like ftdxfbugrtvfydxtyvvtdtrtytdrdrvgvyAHHHHHHHH😅
The Venezuelan girls screaming on the background were the best part.
Did they not put VR on this? Also lol at the comments - people screaming on a rollercoaster, imagine.
They had VR on this back in 2016 but removed it after that year. Thank goodness they did so too, it was such a hassle to get on the ride when they had it
That project failed many years ago
New colors ? Nice!!!
I love this ride its definitely my fav at sea world I love it
One of the better floorless coasters but damn it's a head banger lol
My god the unnecessary screaming. She’ll probably have a heart attack if she’s in a car going over 100.

At 1:41 That lady just turned into a absolute demon/ sounds like shes being Possessed Possessed
Even with the new colors, it’s still as a little rattle-y as it was before. I don’t mind it. 😌
Me either
I rode this and it was insane
no pictures of a Kraken so why the name?
Omg turn the quality all the way up 😍
The screaming was way too unnecessary 😂
I screamed the whole ride and this little girl made fun of me . Saying “it’s not that scary “ . I’m 28 years old lol
Is there a way to mute this thing
I rode this twice and it was awesome
those 2 girls were cursing their hearts out in perfect Venezuelan Spanish.
Love to hear it and see it
I’m going to this ride in april 25, anything that I should be worried about?
edit: I went on it 6 times, a little bit forceful
3.9 G's apparently astronauts experience 3G on take off so pretty good, but I did it 4 times in one day, felt a bit sore the next morning 😅
I passed out on that ride😂
What are they screaming they said it like 10 times?
Just got on this heat better than I expected but never again
Why not? I am afraid of heights but my GF convinced me and I did it 4 times that day and once at night, it was awesome but I don't like the climb up, the rest I loved 😅
She sounds like she's being possessed
De 1:25 a 1:35, de Venezuela pal mundo 🤣🤣🤣

Aww man, stomach feeling is the best
@@greatdanny2005naah there's stomach feeling in the drop and 3.9g's plus a zero g section it's one of a kind
Venezuelans screaming really provide the best commentary throughout the ride 😂😂😂
The underground parts are crazy
If you ever want a list of every curse word from Colombia...watch this video
It’s crazy to think I went on that
Same except 4x in one day (never been on a serious coaster previously or since) but would go back on again when in Orlando - hence watching these videos 😅

Looks pretty good
I miss the old vr on this ride☹️😥
It was horrible
I went last month I rode the mako and manta but this ride was closed

It’s giving montu floorless version
Can't believe the new paint has chipped that fast.
It’s because of the wheels
The exact reason why you shouldn’t start by riding the biggest coaster in the park.
I went on this 14 times in a row cuz i had fadt pass and no one was in line there
