The Manta SeaWorld Orlando
Who doesn’t love the sensation of riding big roller coasters? I know I do, that is why I can’t wait to get buckled into SeaWorld’s newest roller coaster addition, The Manta. The Manta will have even the most hardened veteran roller coaster adventure seekers anticipating a one of a kind thrill ride that they can only experience with Manta.
The scheduled opening for Manta is the summer of 2009, just in time for Central Florida’s peak for the tourist season. SeaWorld is hoping that this brand new roller coaster will draw in the numbers they are used to seeing outside of the recession. Although SeaWorld is keeping most of the important details out of the spotlight, SeaWorld is confident that Manta will be a huge hit in the summer.
The Manta is an inverted, or flying, roller coaster, and from what is known of the Manta, thrill seekers strapped in to their seats in an upright position and then the coaster will tilt the riders into the prone position. Just above their backs is a gigantic 12 foot manta, sculpted to look like the giant ocean dwellers. The coaster riders will then be boosted along the tracks, initiating a journey throughout the entire park that includes a trip through an immense aquarium, complete with ocean animals such as manta rays and sea horses. The wings of the Manta structure will skim the top of the water. Whether you are a spectator or the rider, there is a chance that you might get a little soaked from this experience.
The Manta can reach top speeds of up to 56 miles an hour, and when you add this in with the twists and turns that only this roller coaster can bring, you will be in for the ride of your life. Be sure to make your way to SeaWorld Orlando to experience a once in a lifetime opportunity to ride one of the most cutting edge roller coasters in Central Florida.
