It's actually pretty massive in terms of sheer girth more than anything. When you first drive into the parking lot it looks like it completely dominates the left half of the park. But when you get a bit closer to it - like all things in life - it gets brought down to size. I think there's a bit of height deception because of how big the radius of the apex curve is. The ride isn't SheiKra or anything, but it definitely holds its own.
One thing that I like about the ride is that its not visible from every waking corner of the park - and for being as centric as it is - that makes for a pleasant surprise. I'm really becoming a big fan of how this coaster looks aesthetically, and to be honest, at first i wasn't really feeling it. Although both major rides at the park have blue on them, they totally stand out from one another.

Just found out it wont be open when i go in april.I wonder howw construction will look then and what inversions will this ride have?
^The B&M Pretzel Loops are just one inversion...
So I think it will have two of the same element somewhere.

I started a topic on that once. An outwards loop on a Flyer would be impossible, as there would be too much strain on the trains, not to mention the riders. Too much force, in other words.CMonster said:

Urrm... where does it say it has been postponed to Summer '09. I presume it'll open in May as that's when most coasters in that region open.
Those new pictures look great! It looks bloody high from those pictures and it must be even better when you're face down on that hill. I'm looking forward to seeing more track go up!

I love Manta's colour scheme, Gives such a good feel to the ride. From the pics it looks like the first drop will be immense.
Its a shame its not opening untill next summer but i suppose its because they are spending alot of time on it which is great so im willing to wait for it :--D
