Kraken Unleashed

This promo pic they're using is ridiculous. :lol: I like it though!
 
Sea world just had a live Facebook broadcast from the maintenance bay on Kracken. Two of the trains already have all the VR, the other two are awaiting conversion, not seen the he headsests, only the bags, but they seem to be Samsung.
 
Quick update from yesterday. Looked like they were working mostly on stuff on the lift hill while I was there, including setting some sensor things up. Not sure if they were temporary or permanent, but I assume it's to help synchronize the VR somehow. More pics here.

Looks like they're setting up some kind of sensors to synchronize VR experience:

I'm gonna miss the eel:

Noticed that too when I was there yesterday, lol, looks really odd.
Guessing it was really built to last so may take some effort to demolish. The eel is going bye bye to make way for a more squid-like Kraken. Which is fine by me cause that's more in line with legend. I'll miss silly eel though.
