SeaWorld’s Flying Coaster: Manta
SeaWorld is om of those parks us Disney fans can appreciate so I wasn’t to surprised when I found some concept art related to the new B&M flying roller coaster that will be build there on a Disney website.
The British website “The Disney Information Bulletin Board” has some nice artist impressions of the new Manta coaster that will open in 2009. Click on the picture to see all three artist impressions, including a track lay-out.

I know from the coaster enthusiasts and thrill ride communities, Manta will change the perception of SeaWorld. Most mention that there’s not a whole lot of rides and really only one major roller coaster (Kraken). But with Manta they’ll be more for die hards like you Annie and a better chance enthusiasts like myself will fork over 50 or 60 bucks to go to the park. Now I’m just waiting for the official announcement.

Having visited Seaworld as a family with my wife, our fifteen years old son and our twelve years old daughter, this is a long overdue addition to the park. The Kraken is a great ride but in need of more rides of this ilk to attract new and repeat visitors to the park.
In addition to this Shamu told me that all the parks animals were looking forwards to something new to ride after the park had closed!
