Another cool shot of the pretzel loop.

It's like looking at the Los Angeles freeway system!

Here again is a good look at the station. It's going to be massive!

When you're at the top you'll be looking 14 stories straight down!

Hey sexy rebar rock...wanna spend the night in a cheap motel?

Let's have another look at this wing dip area. The train is going to fly through this part and it will look like the Manta Ray is scooping up water towards the crowd.

EXTREME BANKING!!!

Here you can see some of the infastructure. Soon this will all be hidden away!

Another look at the reach envelope testing for the wing dip.

These guys are laying the pipes for what I am assuming will pump water into this area and create the huge splash!

Just in case you needed another view of the pretzel loop...

This S-curve/zero g combo should be fantastic!

Seriously, can you ever have too many pretzel loop photos?

Here you can see the entrance into the mid-course brake.

"Original Pig Sock"....I just thought this thing was awesome!

There should be NO QUESTION as to what kind of food you'll get here! =)

From the Sky Tower, you can see the entire layout of Manta!

Birds eye view of the pretzel loop.

Overview of the wing dip.

"...yes we wore our hard hats on the Sky Tower to be extra safe!"

Thank you to Sea World for allowing us to get backstage and share these photos with the world! See you in May 2009 for Manta's opening!
