SeaWorld ® in Orlando plans to open Manta Ray ® in Summer 2009
The next big attraction ride coming to Orlando Florida sounds amazing. SeaWorld ® plans to open a combination roller coaster and 3,000 sea animal aquarium. For those who love roller coasters, this appears to have the markings of a sophisticated yet thrilling ride boasting heights of 140 ft and speeds of up to 56 MPH +/- with 4 inversions and 3,359 ft. of track.
For those who are a little shy of rollercoasters, the attraction will also offer a wall of windows to view the over 300 Manta Rays in the huge aquarium. If you drive past the NE section of the park, you can see the ride under construction.
It is believed the ride will give a sensation of floating like a manta ray. The SeaWorld Manta ride is being designed by the same company that designed their hugely popular Kraken ® ride.
For our vacation homers, the closest vacation home community to SeaWorld ® is Vista Cay which can be viewed in our directory adjacent to this post.
