A new rollercoaster has been announced for Seaworld. Rumors have it that it could be called Manta.

Obviously Busch aren't concerned by the slowdown in the US economy as they've just opened Aquatica and announced the expansion into Dubai.

"It's going to have animal components, marine-life components. It will have a very unique, state-of-the-art ride, a roller coaster if you will, that will provide a sensation of gliding," Couceiro said. "The combination of the animals and the ride is what makes it special."

"Not that I'm at liberty to discuss dollars, but this is the largest single investment we've made at any one attraction at any SeaWorld park," Couceiro said. "It's us investing in a destination that we feel very confident about. . . . We want to make sure that we remain as a must-do experience when visitors come to Orlando."
