Soar Into Savings This Summer With SeaWorld
There isn’t any other theme park in the state of Florida that has a roller coaster as exciting as the theme park itself.
SeaWorld is in the theme park capital of the world, Orlando, Florida. This summer they opened their newest roller coaster, Manta! You become a manta and literally fly laying face down over SeaWorld. I got the chance to ride Manta and let me tell you — you MUST go to SeaWorld and ride this ride, NOW! Plus, they have many other rides, including Kraken, another exciting coaster. And LOTS of animals. Not to mention.. SHAMU! Oh and my personal favorite, Clyde and Seymour.
SeaWorld is such a short drive from anywhere in Florida (and also Georgia and Alabama), you can drive to Orlando for the weekend, enjoy a lovely day at SeaWorld doing Manta over and over again and then the very next day go right across the street to Aquatica or to Tampa to visit Busch Gardens — for free! Yep, SeaWorld has such a great deal right now – you buy one day at SeaWorld and you get another day at Aquatica or Busch Gardens, on them! I’ve NEVER seen another theme park have this great of an offer. And I bet, no other park ever will.
Manta – A Ride Like No Other
On Monday, May 4, 2009 (one day before Manta was opening for the public preview!) the Manta Fever VIP Preview happened.
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, everyone that has a strong urge to fly like a manta and a strong stomach, you MUST get yourself to SeaWorld as fast as your wings can fly and get on Manta! It is an amazing ride like no other.
Now that I’m a pro at it, having done the ride 4 times that night, I can officially say — Manta is the BEST! I love all roller coasters in the Central Florida area, but NOTHING compares to the feeling of laying down and flying over SeaWorld!
Here is my video of that night which includes the SeaWorld President talking about Manta and the whole attraction and also video of the ride! Yes, the WHOLE ride! Here’s ALL you have to do to watch this video:
1. Put your computer on the ground (or somewhere where you will be able to see it from the ground.
2. Lay on the ground, on your stomach, and make sure to lock your feet into the leg harness.
ENJOY!
