Seaworld Orlando Manta Update

A few threads ago we mused over the naming of the new coaster at Seaworld, and guess what... It will be called Manta.

It looks pretty cool, you hang from underneath a giant manta-ray sort of as if in a hang-glider, skimming the water and swooping into the sky.

I actually saw the construction of this - it looks like it's shaping up to be very, very cool.

Any pics cabanaman, or an update on how far they are with it?

Unfortunately I don't have any pics, as there wasn't much but construction when I went - it's still in the early stages. Think they said it should be done by the time the season picks up next year, but I can't be 100% sure about that.
