“The Kraken” Thrill Ride Makes U.S. Debut at Fiesta Carnival
San Antonio, on a bright and sunny weekend in late April, a monstrous sight overshadowed the Fiesta Carnival. The sight was not from another world but from The Netherlands, and it goes by the name, “The Kraken.”
The Giant Kraken Emerges
The Kraken, a ginormous pendulum ride, has taken the center stage at the annual Fiesta Carnival. Towering over the carnival at an astonishing 80 feet tall and reaching a spine-chilling height of 147 feet mid-swing, it’s a sight that promises to delicately blur the line between excitement and fear.
“The Kraken” brought over by Marina and John Small of Iconic Midway Rides, is no less than a mesmerizing spectacle. After extensive research aiming to bring a unique thrill experience to U.S. soil, the Smalls settled on this titanic ride.

Marina Zaitshik-Small, a member of the Iconic Midway Rides team, said, We wanted to bring a ride to the U.S. that was going to be a true head-turner

The ride is a gargantuan pendulum-style attraction, more than double the size of any similar ride present in the U.S. With the intent to challenge thrill-seekers, and provide a heart-pounding experience to the brave-hearted, The Kraken certainly stands out in the crowd.
