Revamp

The article has received a much-needed makeover, with language corrected and sources/review added. The excessive detail on the ride itself had to be removed as this was WP:NOR, and could also be argued to be WP:TRIVIA. Wikipedia is also not WP:NOTMANUAL. Three images was also excessive for an article this size. That said, I will attempt find more valid information that can be added to help pad it out.

Attraction name

Since it appears that Kraken is the latest attraction to get into the virtual-reality craze, park officials decided to plus up the name for this promotion. However, we have no proof to indicate that this change is permanent. In the battle of sources, independent beats WP:PRIMARY, and RCDB retains the Kraken name. If we get information that SeaWorld has no plans of removing VR from the ride, then we can discuss the name change. --McDoob AU93 18:54, 19 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
