I've ridden it a couple times and I was pretty impressed. My wife and I are big coaster fans and hit up Magic Mountain once a year, and while this doesn't have the height or inversions, it was a very nice surprise, with some compressing turns and nice airtime. The beginning was cool too with the Manta projections. Glad they opened this up and will give us San DIegans a quick fix when we want some roller coaster action and don't want to drive at least an hour and a half to get it.

Looks like it sucks! Journey to Atlantis is great though….

Mmmm… It looks amusing, but not quite thrilling. It doesn't seem to have anything that I haven't ridden before. It looks like it has some nice airtime, and some cool turns, but to me it seems to be the kind of ride that would be one of your first coasters. I haven't ridden it though, so I could definitely be wrong.

I agree. I think with some good theming, espeshally in the open areas at the end, they could have a nice ride on there hands. Deffently a good little brother to Mavrick!

What if the coaster wasn't called Manta. Would you still be comparing it to Manta at SeaWorld Orlando. I really don't think it's fair to compare a coaster made by B&M to a coaster made by Mack. And both are also very different, SeaWorld San Diego's Manta ia a launching one and SeaWorld Orlando's Manta is a flying coaster. Not trying to be mean or anything, just trying to say that these two coasters are VERY different.

I don't know why people insist on comparing this to Orlando's Manta just because of it's name, it's intended to be totally different. It may not be intended to be a white knuckle thrill ride but it does look really fun and I hope to check it out after summer. Congrats Seaworld!

Ths ride seems like it sucks. I've ridden the Manta in Orlando and this is nowhere close to it.

That is one knock that I heard. The second half doesn't have as much or really any theming if that's what you're referring to. They have finished the landscaping since it opened though.
