Manta At Sea world

 

Taking two year's to construct, Manta at Sea world in Orlando opened to the public for the first time in 2009.

The feeling of flying has never been so close, as this new ride will having you soaring like a bird (sorry a flying Manta).

Manta is a two part attraction with guest's walking through a number of impressive aquarium's containing 184 000 gallon's of water and over 60 specie's of sea life. The atmosphere as you walk toward's the Manta ride itself's feel's like an underwater paradise as over 3000 animal's from the deep gracefully glide past you. What other queue in Orlando is this enjoyable? You'll even find part's of the aquarium's where you can poke your head up into a concaved tunnel area where you feel like your actually in the water with the sea life.

All this beauty and tranquility soon start's to fade away, as the feeling of what's ahead hit's home. You'll begin to hear the roar of the Manta and the scream's of the rider's as you fast approach this totally new concept in roller coaster's -The Manta.

Some roller coaster's have your leg's dangling down to give a sense of freedom. Manta does that, but it go's one step further by turning the coaster seat's face down. Once you've taken your seat and are strapped in your seat suddenly take's a nose dive and your hanging there as if lying on your stomach. You then leave the platform at a nice gentle pace. This is great as you get to experience an amazing sensation and view straight down as your coaster head's uphill to around 43 meter's. It's all downhill from here as you experience four inversion's and reach speed's of around 56 mph - head first.

The coaster swoop's and dive's just like it's animal counterpart in the ocean. You'll almost hit the water only to be sprayed by jet's of water while shooting back up before diving once more toward's a waterfall.

After you leave this ride and are positioned vertical again you'll be tempted to head straight back on to it, as Manta is truly one of the most exciting and different roller coaster's in Florida.

Combining an Aquarium and a thrill ride in one attraction make's the visitor's to this attraction experience two very different emotion's in a very short space of time - and it work's great.
