Kraken 2022 Refurbished Full Ride Experience. | Queue + POVs!

Kraken is a steel roller coaster located at SeaWorld Orlando in the United States. Manufactured by Bolliger & Mabillard, the ride opened as the second longest floorless coaster in the world on June 1, 2000, with a track length measuring 4,177 feet (1,273 m). It features a total of seven inversions and reaches a maximum speed of 65 mph (105 km/h). The coaster was named after a fictional sea monster of the same name. In late 2016, Kraken underwent a refurbishment and reopened as Kraken Unleashed in June 2017. A virtual reality experience was added to the ride, but due to technical difficulties and extensive wait times, the feature was permanently removed the following year.

Okay, but can we talk about the camera? Looks amazing.

[@orlandocoasters9762]

Thanks!

[@rrcreationsscripts]

That view from the chain lift is amazing ngl. And ride too and dope af

[@orlandocoasters9762]

The view really is good! Its my favorite floorless coaster and probably my 3rd favorite B&M out of all the B&M's that I've ridden, but that might change because I am going to Busch Gardens Williamsburg very soon! 👍🎢

[@TheDevilHydraProdsXXII]

Man, the pre-vr queue was so much better, it had much more theming, and a cooler statue outside.

[@orlandocoasters9762]

Yes! But the queue now is good too (in my opinion) Thanks for the comment!

[@kurtbest6504]

Not a bad coaster, just a little rough

[@orlandocoasters9762]

I agree.

[@Jaysen6740]

Second POV was awesome.

[@orlandocoasters9762]

Thanks for the kind comment! (sorry for replying so late) 👍🎢

[@PGK69420]

Thumbnail makes it look like an invert😂

[@orlandocoasters9762]

Sorry about that 🤣🤣I just wanted to make one that would stand out!

[@soapycleaningproduct]

Fun fact: Kraken actually used to have VR on the ride

[@orlandocoasters9762]

Yes it did! Sadly I was too scared of roller coasters when it was available. 😭😭

[@evay3610]

Now the first green ride is called hulk

[@orlandocoasters9762]

Yes!

[@davidmones1557]

still miss the VR experience

[@orlandocoasters9762]

It looked really cool but sadly I never got the chance to ride it with the vr. 😭😭

[@cgthugahh8730]

geforce on this thing is crazy

[@orlandocoasters9762]

I agree. The positives that you get on it are really strong!

[@someoneout-there2165]

What is the VR experience you mentioned?

[@orlandocoasters9762]

A few years ago they had a version of the ride where you could put on a VR (Virtual Reality) Headset that would connect to the ride computer so that all of the elements that you went through on the ride would match up on the headset. If you want to see what the experience was like then I highly recommend this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y6XbfaiGZql2mZY Thanks For Watching! 👍🎢

[@timothyryan9441]

Great camera work.

[@orlandocoasters9762]

Thank You!

[@sanchezsanchezcarla043]

interesting stays on sea world?

[@orlandocoasters9762]

I'm sorry, but I don't understand what you mean.

[@JAKAGAMES]

Is it just me or is it slower?

[@orlandocoasters9762]

I didn't notice a difference but maybe. 🤷‍♂

[@Amare_Simmons299]

Was that a bird or am I trippin 7:10

[@orlandocoasters9762]

I can't see anything on my screen and I don't remember seeing anything at the top of the lift that day either. Maybe its the sun reflecting to the video?

[@orlandocoasters9762]

@Chubby Chicken Nugget Sorry but I made a mistake. The bird is a real model of a bird and I think it is there to help scare away other birds. You can see the bird in the same spot before the new paint in my original POV here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eYbMmH1_a7CtfJI ( The time stamp is 1:11 btw )

[@Amare_Simmons299]

Yea I seen it in the same exact spot too

[@positivityforever]

It might be a camera? However, yes, it looks like a Bird, lol's!

[@onetreefird]

I loved how the camera would turn upright in the loops

[@TheUnforgotten_Animal_Soul2.0]

What is the open horizon

[@orlandocoasters9762]

"Horizon Lock" is the lock of the horizon. Basically it means that the footage is always right side up instead of upside down like on the loops. Thanks for the comment! 👍🎢

[@kierancurtis3757]

wish i could walk onto rides in that time

[@orlandocoasters9762]

Do you mean before the repaint or right now?

[@kierancurtis3757]

@@orlandocoasters9762 i mean walk onto any roller coaster almost instantly and not have to wait in 2 hour long lines

[@orlandocoasters9762]

​@@kierancurtis3757 I understand what you mean now. I recorded this video when the coaster had just reopened to the public and that was last September I think so the crowd levels were very low.
