It might be the lack of side walls, but those seats look really high on the train. I think it looks awesome! :D

Faster than a lot of companies. Sure they're no Maurer Sohne or Gerstlauer, but nontheless they're stepping it up.

Well they also have Arctic Express at Ocean Park, The as yet unnamed mega coaster (their words) at Etnaland in Italy and the blue fire style ride at Sochi Park in Russia...
Oh and the spinning coaster at Toverland was announced the other day to be Mack.

Not a massive output but better than just one. :p

Intamin have a few i think too. Depending on how the Mirabilandia ride pans out (coaster or not?) they then have Skyrush at Hershey, The 10 Inversion ride at Hopi Hari, the top side impulse at Triumph Kingdom and apparently they have also sold 2 more of the new 10 inversion rides. (Coastersandmore says one to a new park in Cinecitta Italy and one to China)

I really like the look of it to be honest. It may never set the world alight, but it's pretty sexy looking and I'll bet it's a much better ride than say Rita (the only other coaster I can think of that's of this kind of scale and similar design).

This does look alot better that Rita. I just wish that mack didn't make their track look just like Intamins.

It'll go very nicely with the theming too, It'll be a fun little coaster for sure.

To be fair, Intamin copied off of Schwarzkopf styled track, which means Mack copied off the two companies that sprang from that. Dont believe me, go look at Mindbender in SFoG.

^Im not complaining but the GP may think that manta is made by Intamin and then they will get the credit, not mack.

Surely if they know who Intamin is, they're not really the GP?

As IF any members of the GP are gonna be like "ohhh, that was really good for an Intamin!"

Fool.

Well when I was 10 I knew the difference between Intamin and B&M. Only because of the track though.
