Manta RollerCoaster at SeaWorld Orlando

Manta at SeaWorld Orlando Soft Opening

SeaWorld Orlando hopes that the first of its kind in Florida roller coaster will lure more visitors than ever to the park.

Beginning Tuesday, park visitors can get a sneak peek and ride Manta before its official opening scheduled for May 22.

The new ride will open even as speculation continues the park could be sold soon. Move over Shamu, SeaWorld Orlando is offering a new attraction much larger than an orca whale. It is called Manta, a roller coaster park officials say will seamlessly take guests from the awe of encountering manta rays in underwater flight into the sensation of actually being one.

First, guests get to see some of the 3,000 rays the park has in aquariums. Next, they get to ride the coaster. Reaching up to 60mph, Manta flies through the sky and over a lagoon. Riders will travel face-down, horizontally, underneath the belly of a coaster train shaped as a giant manta with a wing span of 12-feet.

SeaWorld Orlando hopes this new ride will boost attendance at the park. It is still not clear what the future holds for SeaWorld. It is currently owned by Belgian-based beverage company Inbev which could be trying to sell SeaWorld and the rest of the parks formerly owned by Busch Entertainment Corporation.

Manta at SeaWorld Orlando Opening in May

Manta Still on Track for May Opening

SeaWorld Orlando guests might catch their first glimpses of the new Manta roller coaster in action next week when its three trains are tested on the rails already snaking through the theme park.

By midweek, the safety tests would get under way after 3 p.m. The trains, which seat 32 passengers apiece and are fronted by a 12-foot manta design overhead, are tucked away in a maintenance building on the site. Construction of Manta, an inverted flying roller coaster that incorporates an enormous aquarium in its queue at SeaWorld Orlando, is on track for its official opening May 22.

"It's like the homestretch for us; we're about 2½ months away from wrapping it up," said Brian Morrow, director of design and engineering, during a walk-through of the area Wednesday. The sea life — including 3,000 animals — will be moved into the aquarium in about three weeks, Morrow said. "We're putting in landscaping, so that's an indication that we're very far along in our attraction," he said.

Manta, very visible from the park entrance, will be a major addition just before a peak tourism season threatened by difficult economic times. The ride has been planned for years. "We just keep trucking ahead because we're really looking for this ride to be an important asset to SeaWorld Orlando," Morrow said.
