Take a look at this awesome Kraken POV narrated by our very own Tim Carrier, Director of Operations at SeaWorld Orlando.

Every day, Manta comes alive more and more at SeaWorld San Diego: Riding testing on this double-launch coaster has begun; 100,000 gallons of water have filled the aquarium that will eventually house dozens of rays and hundreds of fishes; the ray-themed video that will envelope riders as they begin their immersion into the world of rays has been installed in the launch station; and much of the scenic elements are in place, such as the iconic rockwork and Manta sign and some of the landscaping elements.

You’ve heard of the Bat Signal, right? In “Batman” TV shows and movies, the Gotham City Police would shine a bat-shaped light on a building at night, letting Batman know that they needed his help.

Manta is really starting to take shape! Every time I am out there, I notice more and more subtle differences.

After just four months of hard work, a bunch of crane lifting and several hundred nuts and bolts, all 98 sections of track are now in place for our Manta coaster!

Here is a photo of me with the very first piece of track…..It seems like this was installed just yesterday.

It’s amazing how much progress can be made in such a small about of time. Manta made some big moves this week with the placement of some keys pieces of track. Specifically the pieces that make the sweeping 54 ft. drop under the attraction bridge are now in place. Here is a look at the latest progress in the construction of Manta at SeaWorld San Diego.

I had the opportunity to go check out the Manta construction site and see the progress. It’s amazing how much gets done in just a few days. I had a lot of fun hanging out with all the construction workers, I could have watched them work all day long! Here's the latest look at the Manta construction progress at SeaWorld San Diego!

SeaWorld San Diego is making great progress on our Manta attraction set to open on May 26, 2012. Here's a look behind the construction walls on the latest construction happenings at the Manta site.
