ORLANDO, FL.  May 03, 2009 –  SeaWorld Orlando plans to allow park guests to get a sneak preview of their newest coaster this Tuesday at Noon.  Manta, a Bolliger & Mabillard “Flying Coaster”, officially opens on May 22nd.  The heavily-themed coaster dramatically changes the entrance to the park.  As guests stroll through the turnstiles, they will be greeted by a 12-foot manta ray with 32 screaming riders in tow.  The attraction also includes several immersive animal exhibits,  including over 300 different rays.  A video of the ride is posted after the break.
