Manta is an incredibly intense ride that has a beautiful setting and great landscaping allowing for some amazing moments. You go through one last inline twist and then bank right way too close to the ground on then left and way too close to the tree branches on the right. You climb to the right where you fly past some rock work that feels way too close. You drop and bank right over the water which sprays as the train passes. There are 5 cars per train, so 20 riders in total. You hop into the mid-course and then begin the second half which is full of near misses. Seating is 2 across with 2 rows per car, with the rear seats elevated so help see over the riders in front. Im not a big SeaWorld fan so this ride alone is not enough to draw me there.

You then go through an inline twist which is a unique and fun feeling while flying and then traverse a tight turn that also has plenty of positives, You go through a zero-g roll which is similar to the inline twist in how it's just a really weird feeling while flying. 35 reviews of Manta This is a good coaster with one seriously good drop in it. You dive into a pretzel loop that crushes you with positive G's. The first drop is fun and then comes the most intense part of the ride. Two stations, three trains, 140ft high, 3359ft long.

Intense roller coaster where the rider is face down simulating flying through the ocean like a manta. The ride itself looks beautiful, especially the second half. The location and setting create so many great interactions. I think it has a compact, action-packed, and intense layout that features several fantastic near misses that make the ride. Wednesday morning, SeaWorld San Diego invited Theme Park Insider to take a 'sneak peek'.It’s then inspected and reassembled using fresh nuts and bolts, he said.Manta is my current favorite flying coaster.

For example, the maximum chest dimension that Kraken and Manta can accommodate is 52. “Once a year, the train is totally disassembled,” said Mark Hatton, a leader with SeaWorld’s rides maintenance team. Some seats (at some rides) have harnesses that can accommodate guests of larger upper body dimensions. We also saw a segment of lift chain, which looks filthy but is, in reality, just well-lubricated to prevent rust. On the ground floor is a big room with loads of parts, everything from Manta’s familiar blue seating to motors, wheels (nylon and urethane), gear boxes, brake cylinders, chassis and the couplings that connect the rows of cars of the trains.
