Manta in SeaWorld San Diego ( San Diego , California , USA ) is a steel roller coaster manufactured by Mack Rides , which opened on May 26, 2012. On the 853 m long route, the trains are accelerated to 69 km / h by LSM . The track reaches a height of 9 m and has a 17 m first drop .

Due to limited building permits as to the height of the roller coaster, the roller coaster was not allowed to exceed 30  ft . The roller coaster type corresponds to that of the German "brother" Blue Fire Megacoaster in Europa-Park Rust.

The launch segment, which is located in a 270 ° cinema at the beginning, is a world first. You can see mantas swimming overhead. During the video, the train slowly moves back and forth until it is catapulted out of the tunnel.
