Exclusive SeaWorld Manta Update
- 5 Lashings
- Dropped Mar 29th, 2009 by Ted Murphy in fun
A month or so ago I organized a trip with IZEA and SeaWorld to do a hard hat tour of Manta, the new experience coming to SeaWorld May 22nd. Last weekend they invited Alex and I to come back and check their progress and things have sure come a long way. The trains are now installed, there is water around the base of the building and the aquarium is almost built out. Alex and I were able to see way more on this trip and I am more excited than ever to ride Manta.

OMG - now I have butterflies in my stomach - I can’t wait for October! Have fun at the opening - looking forward to more video
Liked the video, loved the use of the Xshot. Manta looks amazing and I like how the line will have plenty to see as you wait to get on what looks like a fantastic thrill.
Mnata is going to be awesome!
It’s a pretty special thing for Orlando, as it will be one of three flying coasters in the US…and I think one of five in the entire universe!
Thanks for the heads up behind the scenes video!
