Manufactured by Bolliger & Mabillard, the ride features a total of seven inversions including two vertical loops, a dive loop, a zero-g roll, a cobra roll and a corkscrew. ''Kraken'' opened on June 1, 2000.
==History==
In 1999, Six Flags Great Adventure spent $42 million on new attractions including a prototype Floorless Coaster by Bolliger & Mabillard, ''Medusa'' (later ''Bizarro''). The immediate popularity of the ride, led to SeaWorld Orlando and three other amusement parks to announce plans to install Floorless Coasters in 2000;〔 aside from the announcement of ''Kraken'' on May 6, 1999, Six Flags Discovery Kingdom announced ''Medusa'', Geauga Lake announced ''Dominator'', and Six Flags Fiesta Texas announced ''Superman: Krypton Coaster''. ''Kraken'' was announced as costing approximately $18–20 million. ''Kraken''s announcement more than one year out from its opening was an attempt by the park to drive international attendance.〔〔
Construction for the ride was well underway in January 2000. During construction, Superior Rigging & Erection was responsible for erecting the supports and track of the roller coaster.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Services )〕
On June 1, 2000, ''Kraken'' officially opened to the public.〔 At the time of opening ''Kraken'' held the record for the tallest and longest roller coaster in the state of Florida. It held this record until 2006 when Disney's Animal Kingdom opened the Expedition Everest.
