This stunning introduction to the world of the rays also will visually enhance the physical acceleration as the ride launches down the track. Manta also will feature a unique “launch station” where the passengers will start the ride enclosed in a launch tunnel with larger-than-life images of rays projected on a 270-degree enveloping screen. Gliding, flying and diving through more than a dozen twists and turns, riders will feel as if they are a ray, taking flight from sky to sea - so close at times that the Manta’s wings skim the waves. “We are delighted to bring energizing new attractions to our guests year after year,” said SeaWorld park president, John Reilly, “and Manta does just that, combining the thrill and excitement of a coaster, with the educational and entertaining value of an incredible marine-life exhibit.” Swooping over sea and sky, Manta will not only inspire riders with amazing underwater animal habitats, but take them on an exhilarating ride on a coaster shaped like a giant manta ray. SeaWorld is scheduled to break ground for Manta within a month and the ride is slated to open to the public in 2012. SAN DIEGO, USA - SeaWorld San Diego announced that in 2012, the park will unveil its new launch coaster, Manta - a new mega-attraction that will seamlessly transition guests from the awe of watching rays in underwater flight … into the sensation of actually being one.
