GAcoaster Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 Recent reports of guest surveys at SeaWorld Orlando included the mention of a flying coaster. Possible ideas included a ray theme, with the trains at some point doing some kind of splash element like the Sheikra and Griffon coasters, creating a splash without getting riders soaked. This sounds like a great idea, and the ultra-competitive Orlando theme park market will require all the parks adding bigger, better new attractions to try to compete with Universal's addition of Harry Potter.

Thrill-Pics Posted November 11, 2007 Report Share Posted November 11, 2007 I know someone in Admin there and they say the park didn't pass that yet, but it would probubly be built. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redsoxfan0810 Posted November 11, 2007 Report Share Posted November 11, 2007 (edited) If this does get built, I'm sure it would be very interactive and well themed. This isn't going to be themed with just the colors, that's for sure! Edited November 11, 2007 by redsoxfan0810 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAcoaster Posted January 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 According to Screamscape there are more and more signs of the coaster coming! I can't wait to see what it is... I L-O-V-E SeaWorld! They do things the right way (like all Busch parks) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

29yrswithaGApass Posted August 2, 2008 Report Share Posted August 2, 2008 Not much going on other than site work for Manta. The construction walls are really high and the site is just within the main entrance way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

29yrswithaGApass Posted August 3, 2008 Report Share Posted August 3, 2008 29yrs are you down here right now? No, I was in Florida and the Caribbean last week on vacation. But if I start driving now I can be there by this time tomorrow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAcoaster Posted September 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 So cool seeing the ride go vertical! LOVE the station switch (and wish SUF had it): By the time I visit in January the track will probably be complete, but frustrating not ready to open yet...

CycloneMan Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 WOW! That's probably one of the best coaster commercials I have ever seen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robb Posted February 6, 2009 Report Share Posted February 6, 2009 That has to be one of the best commercials ive seen...EVER! Personally I love Manta Rays, I have seen them Scuba Diving and they are absolutely beautiful the way they glide in water. Thats besides the point though, if Kraken is a barometer for how good this ride is, this may very well become your #1 flyer and a staple for future expansion of this ride!

DarkKnight Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 I'm speechless. THAT WAS THE BEST COMMERCIAL I EVER SEEN!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobertDavid Posted February 7, 2009 Report Share Posted February 7, 2009 That's how you advertise. Not with creepy old men. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkridedan Posted February 8, 2009 Report Share Posted February 8, 2009 Well, yes. I would like them to show more footage of people having fun on the rides and in shows instead of a montage that is geared towards getting 15 year olds pumped. I know it's a huge demographic for Six Flags, but I just like the commercials from the 80's and 90's better. It reminded me of the good times I could be having if I were at the park rather than remind me that they haven't yet removed Nitro, El Toro and Kingda Ka.

RobertDavid Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 I just care a lot about Great Adventure and want the best for the park. If you just want people to come on here and say that everything Six Flags does is great your expectations are unrealistic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29yrswithaGApass Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 Without a doubt, that is an incredible commerical. I wish we had more attraction specific (or even park specific) televisions ads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Up_Up_and_Away Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 Lighten up, will ya? Luis, he is hardly the only person to find Mr. Six disturbing and irrelevant. We all have very different opinions on here and all members deserve to be heard and treated with respect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoasterPete Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 Thanks to NewsPlusNotes, I noticed that Roller Coaster Pro has a new Manta update. Some of the contruction walls have come down and areas re-opened with full landscaping. Busch does an incredible job with everything they do. The theming and landscaping are always fantastic! Check 'em out! Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAcoaster Posted May 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2009 I just saw that Manta is supposed to be soft opening on May 5th! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
