Manta at SeaWorld Rocks
- 7 Lashings
- Dropped May 21st, 2009 by Ted Murphy in fun
For the past few months I have been collaborating with SeaWorld on their social media outreach program. A large amount of our efforts have been focused on Manta, a new mega attraction that officially opens tomorrow. Today I rode it for the first time and I have to say I was really impressed. The coaster is unlike anything I have ever been on… it had me screaming like a little school girl (see video evidence).
I brought Janice Croze, Gwen Bell, Arianne Segerman, Tara Kuczykowski, Lori Falcon, Katja Presnal, Steve Spalding, Audrey McClellan, Alex Schek and Julia Allison along for the experience. They are a great group of bloggers and we had an absolute blast together. SeaWorld had Manta specially rigged with video and still cameras for our ride. All of us got to walk away from Manta with flash cards containing high res photos and video of our rides. Sorry I didn’t stick my tongue out in the picture below, I obviously wasn’t thinking straight.
If you want to ride Manta FOR FREE all you have to do is register for IZEAFEST. Every person that registers gets a free ticket to SeaWorld for the blogger takeover on Sunday.
Man, that looks like an awesome ride. I have yet to go to SeaWorld, and I’ve been in Orlando for 5 years now. Thanks for letting us hear how much you scream like a girl.
Rock out, Ted!
Wish I could make it down to FL to bloggerize Seaworld - I’m betting you guys have loads of fun!
Hey Ted
That looks like a great ride I can’t wait for the Izeafest.
