Manta - SeaWorld Orlando - Soft Opening

[musicman1232]

this one was cool. wasnt much of a thriller but it was pretty fun. i mean u gotta ride it its an experience but ya know id rather be doing kraken. its not really scary at all if uve ridden bigger stuff or ur a coaster freak (like me) but its worth waiting for

[BrandonTheDude]

I didnt ride this yet.But i did ride Canada's Wonderland BEHEMOTH.That was an AMAZING coaster.Has anyone ride both of these?

Which is more scary/fun?

Im gonna try this.But just so i would know.This or The Behemoth?

In my recent visit to Orlando (just yesterday) I opted for Seaworld and experienced Manta both in the very front and very back (the back much better) however no matter where you sit that pretzel loop is fucking intense, it's easily the biggest range of G's I've ever felt from intensely negative going down in such a position to intensely positive at the bottom of the inversion on your back.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls, may we have your attention please. Due to inclement weather, Manta is temporarily closed..."

[picbo123]

[jojoroy1993]

nice vid mate got a lot of good shots

[rollercoasterfan97]

what a soft opening?

never heard of it

[iSelbe6126]

a soft opening is where there only run it for the public a little bit at a time during testing. so if u ride it during the sift opening ur basically a test dummy. i went on it during soft opening but it was really fun.

[bryanhayeslive]

Great Ride! Short line, great theming, and one smooth ride. The Pretzel loop is a bit intense though. But besides that, its awesome!

[cashmoneyjung]

at 1:03, as the train passes that water fall it gets everyone wet in line from the wind it creates passing by.

[Chingirl94]

That ride looks so smooth. I'll have to ride it next time I'm in Orlando :)

I love SeaWorld :3

[chick5581]

this was a really kool video i had fun watching it i really have to say you guys did a really good job shooting it .

[ZachDCP09]

I cant wait for this, ill be down in Florida for a year, so now ill actually have the time to ride this.

[1caroline2]

does that goes really fast or slow like it showed on the video im going this thursday with my school n im just soo excited but i want to know the rides i can go on n the ones that i wont throw up lol!!!

[kevi8587]

may 18th i am there Riding manta woot

[XxHxcDancer6xX]

dude u cant ride on 18ty...it opens 22nd of may..so outta luck dude

:/

but ride looks hella fun.

[gjohnsonportfolio]

actually, the ride has been opening for sneak previews - starting today

[XxHxcDancer6xX]

true...but tyhen again wats the point of wasting time doing a grandi opening on the 22nd...if the ride is uhhmm "practically" open??

lol

[f2ast00]

simple, to avoid long lines, like the ones in kings island ( 6hr wait) the offical opining is still may 22, but by then many people will have already rode it thus bringing down the wait time a bit :P

[kevi8587]

i can go 22nd aswell so no problem if its not open on the 18th :P

[Simplayer1]

The ride is open alredy, just in case u didnt know.... O.O

Thats why is called soft opening

Ill be riding this in june XD cant wait!!

[AngeOne23]

Great video, thank you

[Boulderknex]

So pretty I want to ride it so bad. It turned out to look like an amazing and a huge success, even though they opened it 2.5 weeks early!!!!!!

[C1TIZENNEWS]

So awsome. I would like to try!!!

[TATSUFAN]

OMG! WHAT A BEAUTIFUL COASTER

[djdirk123]

Finally I get to see the long awaited splash effect lol. Brilliant video.

[mandog987654]

It was awesome I was there and on the 3rd ever ride open to the public, and let me just say, it was one of the most epic things ever put into a theme park. If anyone watching this is heading to orlando or seaworld, i reccomend it highly

[RingneckDoveFan]

So you went on this ride?! ..

Awesome.

By any chance did you lose your stomach? You know that feeling you get in your belly when you drop? When you go on Journey to Atlantis you get that feeling when you go down the hill. Not so much Kraken though.
