Opening in 2012, Manta will be a Mack Launch Coaster that will take riders over and around the Forbidden Reef section of the park. The ride's highlight will be its initial launch through a tunnel, upon which larger-than-life images of rays will be projected upon a 270-degree curved screen.

Manta will cover its 2,835 feet of track in 1 minute and 56 seconds. The ride won't be intense - the speed tops out at 43 mph and the largest drop is just 54 feet.
