The next generation of SeaWorld thrills is coming to SeaWorld Orlando with Manta -- a new mega-attraction which will seamlessly transition guests from the awe of encountering rays in underwater flight...into the sensation of actually being one. Swooping over sea and sky, Manta will inspire riders with amazing underwater animal habitats, then soar them face-down, in a horizontal position, aboard a manta-inspired flying coaster. Manta opens summer 2009.

The Manta flying coaster will create a new level of immersion into the animal world -- in a way only SeaWorld can do -- enveloping riders in a sensation of oneness with the ocean's most powerful and graceful creature as they soar, dive and plummet through the air...and at times within inches of the sea.
