Manta at Sea World
In Orlando, Florida, Sea World recently opened a new roller coaster called Manta. As you walk towards the ride in anticipation, you pass through an aquarium filled with rays. The ride is thrilling with spins and twists and turns that give you the feeling that you are a giant ray, swimming the ocean deep. It’s the only flying roller coaster of its kind in the world. Height requirements: 54 inches. “Dive deep and fly high!”

The kids are getting older and bored with Disney. That Manta roller coaster at Sea World sounds like fun for all of us. Thanks for the tip.
We rented a timeshare in Williamsburg to do all of the historic sites, but found the Sesame Street Forest of Fun at Busch Gardens which was fun, too.
