This isnt the longest, the fastest or the tallest floorless coaster out there, but it is by far the best one. I've been on about six floorless coasters before, but Kraken and its elements seems to stick out more in my mind than any other floorless. That first drop is breathtaking. After ascending the lift, you make a sharp right and plunge to the ground. It isnt like most B&M coasters, where there is a long sweeping turn to the ground. I always preferred this type of drop because of the G's you sustain while doing it. You go in, around, and under water while on this ride. Every turn you never know what is coming up. It leaves you an element of surprise. Sea World may only have one coaster, but this coaster is well worth the trip there just to ride. I recommend it to all enthusiasts.

I am not saything this because Sea World is my home park (I am a platium passport member there) but because it is the truth.

Kraken is the best floorless coaster in the US. I have been on at least 4 other coasters, and the inversions, the way it is designed etc, makes this coaster stand out.
