It will soar down a tallest drop of 54 feet and travel “only” 43 miles per hour, but don’t let the simple statistics fool you. When Manta opens at SeaWorld San Diego, it will feature a vastly different design. Quite the opposite, this Manta coaster will offer a completely different experience – one that will be thrilling, but also family-friendly (where the 140 foot, four inversion Orlando attraction was not). However, just because you can expect to be thrilled on the wings of a graceful ray after a trip through a world-class interactive aquarium, it doesn’t mean that SeaWorld San Diego is copying Orlando’s flying coaster. With lush vegetation and new landscaping, Manta will also reinvigorate the Forbidden Reef area of the park with new life. Manta was a runaway (or should we say, flyaway) success in Orlando, and come 2012, we can expect that success to be duplicated at SeaWorld San Diego.
SeaWorld Orlando seemed to have found that perfect package in 2009’s Manta, a B&M flying coaster that interacts with water elements and replicates the smooth, gliding underwater flight of the manta ray while also letting guests pass through a massive grotto filled with aquariums, waterfalls, caverns, and facts about the graceful species. What’s the best way to explore the frigid habitats and inhabitants of the arctic? Why, to take a hair-raising polar helicopter ride via Wild Arctic! How can you better understand societies dependence on the sea than by hands-on encounters with the local population? And no one has ever so vibrantly told of the myths and mystery of the ocean than SeaWorld, with Journey to Atlantis, Kraken, and countless other incredible thrill rides.īut it takes a really special attraction to wrap it all together with a bow on top – to combine education, mystery, thrill, and entertainment in one exhilarating package. From state-of-the-art aquariums to adventurous, intelligent dark rides, and unbelievable, unforgettable encounters, the chain has attempted to bring the denizens of two worlds closer together through a whimsical combination of technology and mythology.
SeaWorld has always found a way to introduce innovative and awe-inspiring connections between humans and the sea.
