Manta Roller Coaster Coming to SeaWorld in 2009

SeaWorld Orlando has unveiled renderings of its newest roller coaster, Manta, set to open next summer. The ride will include live rays, flying upside-down and speeds of up to 60 mph.

Manta

It starts with a ray-filled aquarium that also showcases other marine life. Once through the line, you'll be strapped into a 12-person car, face-down. Along the 3,300 feet of track, you'll come so close to the water that your manta ray-shaped carriage will "skim the waves."
