The motion of the ride is very graceful and suitable for a kids ride.
It’s also the first ride you see as you enter the Kidzone.
Right next door is another new ride for the 2015/16 season; the Samba Balloon.
Each gondola can accommodate either four children or one adult and two children.
The themeing is very cute. Perfect for small children and their parents.
The Berry Ferris Wheel is a new kids ride for this season. A Ferris wheel
manufactured by Zamperla.
The Kraken racer is a really fun and surprisingly thrilling slide for all ages. A really great addition to Funfields.
Most of Funfield’s ride signage have been updated this season. All safety guides
follow this new modern layout and style.
Like all good racing slides, the Kraken Racer has a timing system. This one is unique in that it displays both your placement (1st ,2nd, etc.) and time taken to complete the slide.
A red shade canopy covers the switchback queue area.
Looking down towards the queue area from the bottom of the tower.
Obligatory artsy shot.
Riders are brought to a gentle stop underneath the attraction sign.
This last downward hill provides you with even more speed.
The slide ends with a final drop, where riders burst out of the enclosed tubes and
experience a nice pop of airtime.
The ride starts off fast, and just keeps building speed... it doesn’t let up!

The twisted braided tunnel sections provide surprise airtime, even before the final
drop, making it more enjoyable than most racing slides.
The Kraken Racer opened to the public on the 12th of December 2015.
