  • I totally love this ride! I rode it 5 times in a row last time i went to sea world!

  • I just went there, and I rode in the front. SO SWEET

  • oh, so its kinda like the ride "Air" at alton Towers? :D awsome

  • does this ride jerk you alot?

  • lol i remember i saw people up there and little so i hated all rides but i saw a little girl on it and she looked at me and screamed god jesus mary help me

  • @clauchr quierooo!!

  • Is there a place where i can put my stuff when i go on that ride

  • @cen262 Yes, there are lockers outside the ride. They're .50¢ for unlimited time.

  • @AttractionsMagazine have they got kids rides? like NOT scary 1s

  • This is one of the best rides ever!! It"s like the Superman at Six Flags in Jersy! :))

  • im not sure i can do it one more time)))))

  • Ricky, Great job on the background music choice worked great! This ride was testing when i was last at sea world i want to go back!

  • The flying position doesn't make Manta unique... there's loads of other flying coasters..

  • How much rides that dosent include getting wet does seaworld have?

  • I was at Sea world in Nov 2008 when it was being built! I was so annoyed that it wasn't open then because the Flying Coaster is my favourite type of coaster design! Instead I did Kraken 3 times and Journey to Atlantis 4! Please make another flying coaster in the UK, as Air at Alton Towers is the only one in the Country! :-)

  • OH my god I want to go to Orlando

  • Is this scary compared to hulk,rock n rollercoaster,dragon challenge or any other rides at WDW and Universal Orlando?

  • i went in it

  • This ride had no queue when i went in the summer so I rode it loads of times and like 3 times on the front :D Such a sick ride, and you get some serious g force on that first diving loop thing !!

  • Me and my daughter got put at the back .. oh my god!!! its amazing!

  • So majestic!

  • i went on this...all i gotta say is it was my first roller coaster and i think it was the funnest thing i have evr done

  • omg talk about a sweet ride

  • pff.. simplemente impresionante! :O! Necesito montar ahí!:l

  • Eh?The rock work is great,and the rays all look healthy,I don't see a problem.

  • Am I the only one depressed seeing those beautiful rays in that small, unattractive aquarium?

  • im going the end of this month!!!!!!=D

  • Went to this amazing ride !

  • very awesome ride :D

  • what the heck this is exactly like tatsu at six flags!

  • zomg im going in september i cant wait

  • Going in august... first ride im gonna get on!!!!!!!

  • @abbers97 going in 15 days!!! it's the first ride and place im going to!!!!

    SeaWorld 4ever!!!

  • @abbers97 When are you going? I'm going on the 17th

  • @gh3rules1353 im actually not going anymore. my family and i are just going to universal studios and islands of adventures from the 14th to the 20th

  • I was there last week. Great Coaster!

  • It was ok, but not as good as the Kraken

  • Really depends on the coaster "style" but, in my opinion, back seat is the best bet. Typically a coaster wont begin to pick up speed until after the last car tops the rise. On some coasters the front seat can be a ways down the hill before it picks up...the back seat gets the full descent. Front seat is good for rides like Busch Garden's Griffon. I would think this is another "back seat" coaster as being in the front doesn't grant you any special views: everyone is facing down :P

  • its very cool man... everything this man sais about it being like flying, and the awesom-ness of this ride, 100% true and aproved

  • it feels like u r superman!

  • I went on it not that scary at all mostly enjoyable :D

  • i was there last week! It was amazing! a bit scary! but the best ride i ever had!

  • i went on it yesterday and it was my first time it rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I've decided i'm going next year, so i can't wait to try this one out, my dad loves the rides, it will be my first time riding on these sorts of rides, so it should be a lot of fun lol.

  • lol my older sister blackd out on the second loop

  • I love Air! Now i wanna go on this!

  • Can you say superman at six flags great adventure?

  • i got stuck on this ride last week.

  • whats the song

  • back row is very intense! is it just me?

  • @r0adpirate02 It's not just you.

  • @r0adpirate02  i meant to flag up! back is best.

  • @r0adpirate02 Lol ya!

  • @r0adpirate02 the back is the best in this ride...more g's on the pretzel loop

  • @r0adpirate02 Yeah it shoul.d be intense, he said back row gets the most G's

  • @r0adpirate02 u are right! its sea world secret back row is realy fast and wildd

  • My favourite ride apart from Sheikra at Busch Gardens. Going to Alton Towers next weekend to try out Air!!

  • Hahaha, it's definitely called a pretzel loop and not a dive loop at all. A dive loop is a totally different element...

  • 'air' wannabe! but still mint!

  • i love tht ride its so fun

  • They copied the famos ride at Alton towers 'Air' but I still really want to go on that one :)

  • I have loved this ride since the day I rode it!

  • I went it

  • @oggzoni

    really? is it fun?¿?¿

  • @gaston16z

    yes it is very fun

  • dive loop? ha!

  • MY 2 upside down ride EVER!! its amazzzzin

  • went on this today- freaky and awesome!!!!

  • I was there

  • best theme park of the world !

  • im goin friday!!!!!! watch out for a new vid!

  • This is such an awesome coaster! The theming is 100% brilliant.. and the back row has INSANE g-force in the pretzel loop!

  • i cant agree more

  • going for christmas

  • i am going there in december for 4 days on december 5th.You think the weather in orlando is warm enough to actually swim as well?

    I was planning doing the universal studios and island of adventure and probably seaworld...just the weather part questions me about seaworld

  • mabe i went to disney last year. it gets colder at night

  • omg im goin to go on this on my christmas break! hahaha

  • DudeDie222 you stole my words i loved it

  • brilliant ride, g force is great. altho it broke down 5 times in 1 day...and its short

    very dfferent to other rollercoasters, but i am stil not scared!!! will any coaster scare me???

  • i love that ride, i rode it 10 times in one day! woooo

  • I NEED TO GO BACK

  • Going tomorrow!

  • im dieing to ride it!!!!!!!!

  • tht is 1 scary ride

  • tht ride is awesome my cousin and i rode it five times in a row

  • woooooow

    cant wait tp ride this

    but isnt this ride at busch gardens??

  • Omg... :D That amazing!!!!!!!!!! :DDDDDD

  • Love it!

  • i went a few weeks ago didnt get to ride it

  • I`m going to Florida in a week!

    Manta would defiently be worth a stop to Seaworld.

  • jeje yo fui en las vacas en septiembre i me montee.. es exelente...antes de entrar en el camino tiene un acuario con puras mantas xD!..

  • (Spanish) Ya estoy loca que sea Noviembre para ir para Orlando, ya que me quiero montar en Manta!! Puerto Rico es lo q hay!!

  • Been on it, not worth going to Sea World for even if you live in Florida state. Its a good laugh as its a different rollercoaster experience. its slightly better than the other of its kind, Air and Tatsu. It fails in comparison to the giants of the world like the Hulk and Kingda Ka.

  • kingda ka sucks balls compared to this ride just the line and station house alone of manta makes it better than kingda crap

  • Hulk and Kingda Ka are totally different coasters.Just becuse they`re big doesn`t mean they`re better.

  • im going to orlando im 2 weeks baby! wooo cant fucking wait! been there twice but diddent like roller coasters but now im ready too go on sum. do you people think i should go on manta or not! comment back peeps. and what other roller coasters should i go on around orlando! thanks a lot guys :)

  • been there.. done that

  • going here in march :) cant wait , hope its good :)

  • good ride

  • ive been on it its very good but theres a ride called "air" thats older and alot beter at alton towers

  • ahh i am going there in 12 days can i have any advice on wat t do

  • do the coasters first, theyre all close together. you want manta to be the first and last thing you do at the park, go there early to get a good spot in line. first row has the great view, last row has the pressures. Stay for shamu rocks, its awesoem!

  • The back row is the best

  • é muitoo bomm !

  • i've been on this like 6 times in a row its amazin i couldnt wait to come to orlando again especially for this ride i was annoyed hollywood rip ride rockit wasnt open oh well i'll just come next year lol just askin how long was the queue when it opened?

  • i am neva goin on that ride again i went this year 2 florida and we went 2 sea world one day and i wanted 2 take my friend on manta nd me my dad n my cousin and friend went on it and it broke down on us rite at the top of the tilt where you go down lol it was scary!!

  • Did you go there in august?

    Cause we were there and before we went back home we saw one hanging still at the top of the tilt..

    Happy it didn't happen to me when I was in there..

  • can you wear glasses on this? om going tomo and i need to know.

  • .dude i have rode it like five times it is a beast of a coaster get front row

  • this is similar to air at alton towers =)

  • me and my friend we there. MANTA IS AWESOME!!!! so is the Kraken. but im warning u, it makes ur head hurt!!!!

  • oh :P yeaah im tall enough, thanks (: ,,x

  • You must be 54 inches tall.

  • how tall do u have to be to ride this?

    someone please answer, im going there and i dunno if im tall enough and i really want to ride it

    PLEASE ANSWER !! :)

  • 54 inches

  • I went there last weekend but i didnt ride it becouse my friends went to ride it and were as tall as me but they couldnt get on so i couldnt get on it but my mom, my freinds mom, and my sister rode it and told me i wouldnt like it becouse the dive loop has to much g-force and you cant breath. :(

  • ummm..they r just sayin that....... n if they werent just sayin that.....they r either claustrophobic or 2 old....i just went on that ride n it was AWESOME!!!! n my dad n uncle n aunt 2, n we all loved it!!!!!!!!

    p.s. u need 2 b 54 inches tall....

  • so basically air at alton towers?

  • SeaWorld Rules!!!

  • i rode it like lets say a thousand times last friday and it is AMAZING , at the dive loop it feels like im just going to fall out :P

  • ahh! i'm gonna try that next week!

  • i rode 6 times 2 days ago DO NOT go into this park thinking u will ride it waiting in a 1 1/2-3 hour line you either have to come at 8:00 1 hour early or do buy a quik que i rode it 6 times in 20 mins with the quik que!! best ride ever and manta is scarier the worst part tho is the upside down 3G loop it feels SOOOOO weird!!

  • Yeah so I'm a guy that goes to theme parks A LOT. And I've seen pass systems everywhere since around 2000. And I'm morally opposed. I thought that I would say that the only reason you could ride "6 times in 20 mins" is because you were stealing peoples seats that actually waited in line. The next time you go to SeaWorld or any park that has a pass system based on monetary value look at the faces of the people that are in line they will all have a look of seething hatred towards you.

  • dont care!

  • Hey....its just like Superman At Six Flags Great Adventure. It stills looks cool though

  • wats scaryer kraken or manta

  • Manta by a mile in my opinion. The G's on that dive loop are just insane.

  • i´m going next year to dianey,universal studios and sea world is going to be great!!

  • They were like building it while i was there is it any good?

  • lol i wanna rid it how much fun is it ppl

  • its AMAZING! Sheikra in busch gardens is incredible too, better in my opinion, but really like the way this is face down!

  • i wanna ride this when i go to seaworld soon!!!

  • the water looks good

  • The pretzel loop is the best

  • this ride was so scary you drop down head first for like 5 seconds. my throat was hurting for 2 hours after this ride! the way that they make you face down makes it even scarier.

  • i think there no dive loop there but really kool!

  • the video of lebron getting dunked on

    i have it hurry b4 its confiscated

  • Does anyone know if the dive loop is scary?

  • its kool.... i rode it twice last week... sit it the back for the most g's

  • Comment removed

  • omg its not wat u expect u think ur gona do someting but thn its turns in 2 another thng its so weird but fun
