Advantages: Thrilling beyond compare!

Disadvantages: Really long queues

Manta - Wow what can I say!!!

From the outset this is an impressive roller coaster. Even standing watching it makes you feel alive!!

Manta is the singular most impressive roller coaster in the whole Sea World park. It is based around the swooping and diving of a manta ray hence the position you adopt to ride. Swooping and diving hanging from the underneath of a giant set of manta wings is an unforgettable experience.

This ride has only very recently opened and is therefore incredibly popular. The downside to this is that the queues are extermely long. There is an option to ride as a single rider and even in this queue we waited for over 45 minutes. This was in July in the middle of the day, however I do not imagine it would be that much different any time of the year.

If you are not riding then try and stand at the side where the ride shoots over the water. This is only about 1 foot above the water itself and if you are quick then you can get a fantastic photo as it passes by.

Summary: The best ride in the park but be prepared to wait!
