Theme Parks Theme Parks Find Theme Parks Water Parks Roller Coasters From Arthur Levine, your Guide to Theme Parks SeaWorld San Diego unveils Manta, a coaster that will be winging its way to the California park in 2012. Also this week, I continue my coverage of the Readers" Choice Awards, which are really starting to heat up. A Ray of Flight Manta, the flying coaster that debuted at SeaWorld Orlando in 2009 has been a big hit. The lushly landscaped and whimsically themed ride is the best flying coaster I've ridden. SeaWorld San Diego just announced that it too will be featuring a Manta coaster. Set to open in 2012, it will feature lush landscaping and whimsical themeing (including cars in the shape of manta rays), but instead of a flying coaster, it will be a magnetically launched coaster.
