The last inversion before the final brakes is a 2nd corkscrew.

It is of course, the well known 'wing dip' element. Which uses a series of timed fountains to give the impression the train is touching the surface of the water. Those with long arms and seated on the right can reach out and skim the surface...barely.

It must be a good one, judging by the crowds gathered to watch!

Following the corkscrew the train passes through the mid course brakes, and dives down towards the surface of the water for perhaps the most spectacular element on the ride....

After the barrel roll, the train heads around a helix, and through this corkscrew.

You can see the way the designers added a 9th car the front of the train that exists purely to hold a bunch of fibreglass manta rays.

After the pretzel loop is an elevated U turn.

The element is one of the most intense anywhere. Riders feel weightless at the top, but are pinned to their back by strong G forces as they curl underneath.

The first major element is the pretzel loop (Entered from the right)

But onto the coaster. The ride begins with a lift almost 43m high.

Here is the track switch system. The central piece of track rotates slightly to the left and right to direct the train to the available side of the station.

The large metal bar at the front of the shot pushes down on a levering mechanism, forcing the seats to swing back into the flying position, where they are then locked in place.

Guests board in via a split loading station, which helps boost capacity.

Manta SeaWorld Orlando

The ride is based around the way Manta Rays 'fly' underwater.

Manta SeaWorld Orlando

Manta is a large B&M flying coaster. Guests are strapped in downwards facing seats that give the impression of flight.
