Readers' Opinions
just got back from orlando, and this was one of the faveourites from the whole party the guy in the message before this got it right first loop out of this world and then all the near misses are great the pressure on this ride is awsome aswell and everyone knows that it could of been a bit longer but what coaster couldnt be longer - Rob Chandler Best coaster i've ever been on. The loop near the start is like nothing else i've experienced. Consistently good ride, the second half has no loop but the "near misses" with the surroundings are great. Beautiful and thrilling. We went on it over a dozen times (in 2 days) and it never got boring. - grahame gilbert My favorite ride in the entire park. We rode Manta 7 times in a row. The ride was incredibly smooth, with no jerking, and the loop was AMAZING. It was just awesome to the power of 100. No words can describe this ride's epic factor. 9,001/10 - Tommy Rowbal Right now, it's the overall best flying coaster on the planet. Tatsu is a close second, but the themeing and excellent pacing give Manta a distinct edge of SFMM's flier. - Russell Meyer i give it a 10 but couldve been longer - tyler bell Just got back from Orlando, was very dissapointed that after getting to Sea World at 9am the wait time for Manta was 180 mins, this time didn't alter throughout the day. The only way to have got on the ride was to have paid an extra $20 which we refused to do on principle - carol bennett
