I think I enjoyed the ray tanks almost as much as the coaster itself. I'm kind of a sucker for animals. I still can't get over how cool this ride is!

Was the non-rider portion of the aquarium open today? I hear it is supposed to be open now. Did you see the octopus? We need to get some pics of it!

the aquarium looks great i really would like to see that octopus squeeze threw that little tube
It actually is at your house. The flash drive wasn't working on my computer and would not let me download the video off of it. Jason was gonna try to see if he can get it off. 
But yea, that's why it hasn't been put up.

Nice Media Day update.
The new aquarium looks amazing. I love that little spot where you can go up into the water. Such an awesome idea. It's going to lead to alot of cool pictures and alot of stupid poses by people in there, haha.

For the record, we only got one microphone. Personally, I think we should have sang a song during the ride. :shrug:

It's worth mentioning, if someone is newer and just getting into coasters, www.rcdb.com is a fantastic resource for all of that type of information. You can pretty much find accurate stats on any coaster currently in operation, as well as past rides and even future coasters under construction. I find it to be one of the most useful websites out there, period. GREAT resource to aid in trip planning as well.
thx for the info! i just recently found out im going to seaworld soon and im pretty excited :happy:
Ok, so this was a pretty awesome ride. Doesn't beat Tatsu though IMO. I sat in row 7 on the outside and did get pretty wet in the splashby. The pretzel loop was intense, but practically all flying coasters have them. It was a cool ride, but nothing cool and unique. I think I liked Kraken more than Manta.
