Manta coaster takes shape

1067.photo.2 SeaWorld Orlando reaches new heights

Construction crews at SeaWorld Orlando recently secured into place the highest track portion of Manta, the park’s new flying coaster from B&M.

Upon fitting the piece into place 140ft above ground, a ceremonial evergreen, a symbol of good luck in the high-steel trade, was placed atop the track segment. SeaWorld will unleash Manta in summer 2009.
