We do have articles on our own site..
And yes.. as Hydey said.. if they went that all out on DD, this should blow it away.
[I feel so appreciated with how much people read my News Updates :razz: - Hyde244]

I assume also, since it's shown in the concept art, that it will have an area where the edge of the train skims the water, or is that added just for effect? That's going to be amazing if it does though, being that close to the water...

Manta has started construction. I would have took a photo but never had a camera on me at the time (darn!). there is a huge area, and it will be no more than 150 metres away from JTA and Kraken. All rides will be in the same area. There was a sign on the construction walls reading something similar to "Manta, coming in 2009". So yes construction began a few weeks back.

I was at SeaWorld last Monday and visited the B&M fabrication factory on Friday morning. There's absolutely no steel on site at the Manta parcel, but I do believe that they have begun fabricating the first pieces after what I saw on Friday. The pieces I saw were pure white, but I believe that's the primer and not the actual coat that guests will see. (Dive Machine tracks were still on site, and Kings Island's tracks were in bundles ready to be shipped to the park).
There's still a bit of uncertainty on the color of the coaster, and I certainly hope these things get cleared up eventually by the park; but from what I've seen, the attraction is not only going to be bigger than I originally expected, but it's progressed so much in the last 3 months.

From concept art and different articles this seems like it will be a really neat coaster.

That is a VERY sexy colour, I do hope it stays that way and isn't an undercoat or anything like that. I've got my fingers crossed for this one.

Frustrating that it's plans are posted, but that we can't see them...

Well, that blue looks great as a standalone colour, and with a bit of themeing, the result should be absolutely beautiful. And with a height of about 50 meters, it will be a quite big coaster.
And Snoo, Speed Monster and Kanonen both have the same colour scheme as Millennium Force.
