I don't think it serves any real purpose, but it seems like a kind of cool and unique effect.

Re: SeaWorld San Diego (SWSD) Discussion ThreadThis seems like the perfect family coaster. It looks amazing. I'd like to see more of these popping up around the country, especially over here on the east coast. These even seem like they would be good family coasters for companies like Cedar Fair... even if they didn't have all the theming and tunnel that Manta has.
Congrats to SWSD on such a fantastic (and much needed) coaster! Re: SeaWorld San Diego (SWSD) Discussion ThreadThis ride look really great! There seems to even be a few, yet brief, moments of airtime! So excited to ride this opening day Saturday!

- the Manta area isn't finished yet. There is a lot of landscaping, decorating, lighting, and work on the queue to be done before everything comes together. - the rocking back and forth of the car at the launch is pretty neat! It gives you a better view of the screen, and gives you a feeling of anticipation, like "ready.......set.........go!" - there is a negative G hill halfway through that is wicked. all the launches and banks feel much faster due to the close quarters. Manta really is an exciting ride I'm going to leave a lot of stuff out, else it wouldn't be fair to the TPR guys who are fortunate enough to go this week. But in short, come out to San Diego and Ride the Ray, Feel the Rush!. I look forward to the week's updates!
Next time, wear blindfolds...okay?
Re: SeaWorld San Diego (SWSD) Discussion ThreadIt's great to hear that Manta is enjoyable.

Re: SeaWorld San Diego (SWSD) Discussion ThreadJust wondering, are the wheels still making that squeeky noise?

Re: SeaWorld San Diego (SWSD) Discussion ThreadIt's interesting that the ride is open with so much left to do. I have no idea when I'll make it down to San Diego, but when I do I'd love to ride this!

-Well, everyone has the right to be an attorney, if they want to. I make music: https://tigercastle.bandcamp.com Re: SeaWorld San Diego (SWSD) Discussion Thread^I'm assuming that has to do with the timing of Memorial Day weekend. Need your new ride open for the big crowds!

Hopefully I can manage to get down to ride Manta in the next few weeks, as it really looks like a solid fun ride. Return to Theme Parks, Roller Coasters, & Donkeys!
