Sea World San Diego |"Manta"| Mack Launched

Re: Manta - Mack Launched Coaster for Sea World San Diego

When will enough information about this to make a recreation on RCT3 be available? The video that Seaworld released shows none of the interaction with the theming. Is there like a top view that shows the layout and/or the theming. But I think that this will be sweet. I think this will be everything that Cheetah Hunt was meant to be. The Cheetah Hunt video, for instance, showed rockwork covering the walls of the trenches but they ended up just being concrete holes in the ground. I think that this one will be themed WAY more than Cheetah Hunt.
 
Re: Manta - Mack Launched Coaster for Sea World San Diego

Yea but cheetah hunt has 3 launches at 60 mph and a heart line roll where as this coaster has no inversions and slower launches. The drop on cheetah hunt is 130' while the drop on this coaster is 54'. So really they may sound like there the same at first glance but i think they will right totally differently. The theming is the only thing thats going to make this worth riding.

This is more like Jet Rescue.

(just like I said ¬_¬)

Re: Manta - Mack Launched Coaster for Sea World San Diego

Agreed they almost have the same speed as well. Does this one have multi-launches?
 
Re: Manta - Mack Launched Coaster for Sea World San Diego

Dunno which one you mean, but, they both launch more than once. Jet Rescue launches twice, and Manta three times, apparently.
 
Re: Manta - Mack Launched Coaster for Sea World San Diego

^I wasn't sure since rcdb didn't have any information on the launches. But I looked at the Sea World No Limits pov and apparently Manta launches twice as well. It'll be more forcefull than Jet Rescue (which looks like a fun ride imo!). Jet Rescue is listed as 2.5 g on rcdb and Manta as 4 g.
 
Re: Manta - Mack Launched Coaster for Sea World San Diego

I think Manta will have theming very similar to Jet Rescue (as mentioned). It will be kinda hard to have theming as the ride doesn't really have a backstory, though. Does anyone know if it will have a simulated splashdown like Manta a SeaWorld Orlando?
 
Re: Manta - Mack Launched Coaster for Sea World San Diego

^ I think so if what I remember from concept artwork.

Switching between the hideouts'...
 
Re: Manta - Mack Launched Coaster for Sea World San Diego

This has 2 launches...

SeaWorld is great with theming interaction (or at least this one is) so if the ride itself isn't anything to blab about then the theming should add some zip to it.

Yum... sexy curves. :p
 
Re: Manta - Mack Launched Coaster for Sea World San Diego

These are such Intamin knockoffs <3.
 
Re: Manta - Mack Launched Coaster for Sea World San Diego

Probably because the track looks very similar..
I must say though, those transitions look far better than any Intamin out there!
 
Re: Manta - Mack Launched Coaster for Sea World San Diego

It may be a soft coaster but it still looks hot. I absolutely love the colours.

Yes, but remember that Mack has been using the triangle track since the mid 80's, before Intamin started using it.

As for the coaster itself I also think it looks much better than the family friendly intamin coasters we have seen.

I'm not trying to argue, but, please explain how those transitions look better? To me, they look kinda identical to some found on some Intamin coasters. Especially the higher up one. In which way do you think they look, "Better"?
 
Re: Manta - Mack Launched Coaster for Sea World San Diego

I've always had a secret liking for this coaster, I think it looks great! Yeah, its more similar to that Jet Rescue than Rita etc, but that Jet Rescue looks dull, where as this actually looks fab!

If you look at this closely at Stealth, the flow is very odd. It sort of judders up in kinks, rather than pull up smoothly.

Nice n smooth.

3 stages to Mavericks corkscrew "whips" - Bank, straight, whip, straight, bank.

Blue Fire has a different flow - Long bank, whip, long bank.
