| | Loved it!!! I only went on once, kids several times - I have a debilitating condition - motion sickness.........!! I LOVE roller coasters, but my stomach doesn't! Whilst I don't get physically sick, I do feel queasy and look green for quite some time. Hubby thinks it's hysterical! He won't go on any rides, as he hates them, but he doesn't feel any form of travel sickness - where's the fairness in that eh? I usually stagger off, the colour of a stagnant pond, saying "Oh, that was great, what a thrill" then "I feel sick, where's the bucket?" then "Oh, I want to go on again, the drops were great" then, "Where's that bucket?" Etc etc....... Still, I'll be on them again this year! | | Report this post to a moderator | goto top of page |

| | Kraken is probably the best ride we went on all holiday, especially when we rode the front row in the dark in a rainstorm, (the rain was particularly painful!) Hulk IOA and Montu at Busch run it pretty close though. |

It is also one of the quietest. I read somewhere that they use some sort of sandy substance to 'lubricate' the rails to achieve a fast, quiet and smooth ride. |

| | This is the ride my 8yr old roller coaster nutter of a son wants to do the minute he walks into seaworld. Mother(me) is not so sure. Do they do bay-swap. ie one parent goes on and then the other goes on the next go as they are looking after the off spring? | | Report this post to a moderator | goto top of page |

They do baby swaps. A couple did this right in front of us.
BTW, let your son first ride in the front row of the Kraken and then the very last row. There are separate queues for both. |

| | Used to love roller coasters when I was younger but they now make me feel really sick so give them a miss. David (my son) however would go on Krakan time & time & time again. Rebecca (my daughter) is coming with us this year, she hasn't been since Kraken opened so they will go on it together. I would stay in Shamu stadium all day and watch every show. |
