Btw guys, ALWAYS ask for first-row, the most extra you'd wait is a train or two, it really is much more enjoyable IMO.
See, I've been on flyers all over the country and don't find a difference between the front and the back.

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.

Manta's pretzel rides more intense than Tatsu or the Superclones, but I'm not sure that I'd call that an entirely good thing. It's a bit TOO forceful after a few rides in a row. I agree - Tatsu gets the nod for sure. It's a more exciting layout, much more exciting location and has better visuals on the side of the mountain. Manta's placement is stunning, but it's still a much smaller ride.
I've only been on this , Superman Ultimate Flight, and Batwing(not traditional), and this had the most noticable difference to me. Plus, the beautiful views are more noticable up front.

I completely agree. Manta's is more intense, but Tatsu's was more enjoyable. I really loved the horseshoe curve on Tatsu and wish they had it on Manta. Tatsu was also longer than Manta, correct?
Yeah, the views are nice, but you're looking down at the ground for most of the time.
Who doesn't hate the "grey out" effect. That's why I ride towards the front. :/that pretzel nearly made me black out!
The only time I've felt any type of "blackout" is the first and second time I rode. Now I crave that crazy feeling! I don't understand why people hate it. But that's probably because I don't feel the "blackout".Who doesn't hate the "grey out" effect. That's why I ride towards the front. :/

Manta got itself some fancy new theming to hide for the sun. I like it!
Also, the curtain in the aquarium area is replaced by a door.
Is Manta any good? I'm in Orlando in April.
