#Manta seaworld seats plus#

Before Manta was built, I considered Sea World San Diego to be more of a kickass aquarium than a theme park due to its lack of any really good rides. This ride was a big game changer for Sea World San Diego. It doesn't affect the San Diego skyline much, its not too intense to scare everyone away, but at the same time, it gives a wild ride and despite its cutesy and innocent look, really manages to pack a POWERFUL punch!!! I mean this thing is just AWESOME!!! Its without a doubt one of the best coasters in California.

I mean, it is just PERFECT for Sea World San Diego. Really, we just head up one last hill, get one last whip in some laterals, and then we hit the brake run. =) We head into another hill, but there aren't really any laterals or airtime here. We then just shred through this low to the ground turn, really feeling the speed at this point.

Manta is getting pretty damn agressive at this point. After that insane hill, we get another mini twisty hill that just SNAPS us with more insane laterals. So we get this really tasty combination of airtime and laterals right here that just always brings a smile to my face, regardless of how many times I've ridden it while marathoning this thing. You just SLAM to the side, while STILL in the air experiencing airtime. And once we're up, we not only get a nice pop of airtime, but perhaps the best lateral movement in the entire ride. This hill actually is like a mini launch in its own way. And now we come to my favorite part of the ride. You just plow through this turn and head straight up into an airtime hill. And if you thought the laterals in the first half were good, just wait until you experience the 2nd half of Manta. This 2nd launch feels a bit like Speed's 2nd launch did. The stop doesn't interrupt the flow of the ride at all. And Manta doesn't waste anytime getting to it. But before we can applaud, we head STRAIGHT into a 2nd launch. YAY!!!! That may have been a short ride, but man was it a great ride. We head through another turn and then come to a stop. WEE!!! AIRTIME!!! We exit out the hill, go through another turn, and more excitement ensues with some fun little twisty bits. =) We then drop down and turn, getting some more laterals before heading straight for another airtime hill. This doesn't look like anything special here, but WHALA!!! Airtime! And good airtime at that!!! I'd dare say this being some of the best airtime avalible in California. We then exit, get some more laterals before rising up into a small airtime hill. Its not only very pretty to watch from the line, but it rides beautifully, giving us lots of laterals. More tasty laterals are coming right our way as we head straight into a heavily banked turn.

Plus a decent pop of airtime coming on down. I love this element for many different reasons. And we then get WHIPPED to the right as we head straight into a turn before dropping down under the bridge. But at this point, the aquatic life disappears, the doors open, fog rolls in, and we're off!!! The launch isn't TOO powerful, but I will admit that it was MUCH stronger than I was expecting when I first rode it. At this point, music starts playing and we're surrounded by a screen showing all this aquatic life.

And we're off!! We first roll around a turn in the dark and then we stop. If you're small, it almost seems like a floorless coaster due to the seats being elevated, which also improves your view in the back rows. Now as you notice, these trains are EXTREMELY comfortable. We hop up and get into the seats and pull down the lap bars. But there's FAR more to Manta than just its unique traits. Today, we'll be reviewing Manta Sea World San Diego.
