![]() ![]() The Ride is quite long, around two minutes and over 2,800 ft in length giving really good value for money. ![]() The cars are styled moderately to look like a manta ray, but it’s a pretty abstract form! There are 5 cars per train, so 20 riders in total. Seating is 2 across with 2 rows per car, with the rear seats elevated so help see over the riders in front. The Train layout is fairly standard, it’s a seated coaster with secure lap bars. IT uses LSM Technology to launch the coaster out of the station for the first track run, before utilizing a second LSM Launch halfway round for a second kick, doubling the ride length and giving an almost 2 for one experience. The Manta is a Twin Lunached Steel Rollercoaster. It still offers some real thrills though, and probably ranks a 3 out of 5 on the scare rating! What is Manta Younger kids and less brave adults can still jump on and ride as the focus is on fun rather than white knuckles. It is far from the scariest ride but its long length, smooth ride, and fun ride elements make it are a really fun experience. After the ride begins to run out of steam you reach the second Launch that again thrusts the train off over another section of banks and hills. As you accelerate into the bright California Sunshine the rides banks hard then over a series of Air time Hills, head slicers, and other tight banks. The Ride Starts off indoors with a short Preride Show before firing you out of the underwater cave Shotgun style (very reminiscent of a Dive Site we frequent in Maui, Hawaii). There are strict restrictions on building heights in the San Diego Bay Area and the ride was designed to overcome these while still being exciting and thrilling. The Manta is still a really good coaster, the launches feel a lot faster than the measly 42mph advertised and the track layout is really fun with plenty of steep banks and good airtime. Whereas the Electric Eels intimidating appearance and boisterous display of might as it thunders through the loading station, has more timid guests tuning and running ( literally ) The Manta has a much more inclusive feel. ![]()
