SeaWorld is known for making entire experiences out of the attractions, especially as of late.
Nearly a year and a half of construction has taken place in order to make Manta a reality since the coaster was announced in February of 2011.
Eight years have passed since SeaWorld San Diego opened its last (and first) coaster, Journey to Atlantis, but this past weekend saw the official opening of Manta, a family launched Mack coaster.
