[empiresCan I park my donkey here?]

Its funny a lot of people who don't know anything about coasters on Facebook are talking crap on Manta over this video, saying its small and has no loops. This just makes me angry, loops are overrated (pretzel loop excluded). I'll take 2 launches any day over a bunch of loops, they actually give you a good feeling

[ernierockerWhy do I still have a donkey title???]

^Don't take comments you read on Facebook too seriously. There is a reason there is a thread on here dedicated to stupid sh*t that people post on Facebook.

And yes I agree with you. Loops do not make a roller coaster, but that's what a lot of non-enthusiasts want.

so true

but hey, if they don't like Manta, they don't have to ride Manta! Makes the queue shorter for us

I don't know why I love the way this coaster looks so much... Maybe it's because it looks like a mini Cheetah Hunt! This looks like an awesome attraction for SWSD and I can't wait to see a POV or hear about the "tunnel" part.

Manta reminds me a lot of an extended Senzafiato. I really like the ground hugging design of the coaster.

I find it funny that Sea Busch World Entertainment Parks with Gardens (or whatever they call themselves this week) has installed 3 multi-launched coasters over the last 2 years and none of them are the same manufacturer... It's like they couldn't decide which one to go with so they picked em all.

[DBruI will provide you with maximum pleasure.]

...which I personally view as an amazing strategy. Their other parks can only benefit from it in the future! (Plus, I'm sure they'll all be great rides...though I did find Cheetah Hunt to be a bit underwhelming compared to its statistics.)

I'm liking the sign.

[SoCalCoastersYoung and Stupid! I blame my parents.]

I've been talking with many GP people who seem to dislike Manta simply because of it's size. I've had to explain all the hoops they jumped through to build it this high...

[cal1br3ttoWhy do I still have a donkey title???]

^^Yeah, awesome colors and design on that sign!
