Manta

Since quite a while the responsible park designers of Sea World Orlando/Florida were thinking about how to link the two major themes of the park, rides and the ocean fauna. Their intention was to create a new attraction that everyone would have the possibility to experience, no matter if they cannot ride because of age, height or other restrictions - an experience for the whole family. The result of this thinking is now standing clearly visible in the park: A Flying Coaster of the well renowned ride manufacturer Bolliger & Mabillard, based in Monthey/Switzerland.


The theme "flying" is relatively uncommon in a theme park related to sea animals, but the final product couldn't be much more logical. The Manta ray was chosen as an eponym for the new crowd puller. Those elegant animals are "flying" through (and sometimes even over) the ocean with their wings, like in zero gravity. This given, Sea World visitors can take a flight together with the majestic Manta ray - even without getting wet. » read review
