Ooooh! This is perfect. You'll have just ridden Maverick. And THEN you'll soon get to ride its cousin. I've been wanting to know how it compares for a while now.

Well, it's a bit of a last minute thing, but it looks like I'll get to go to opening day! Meet-up?
It's been said Seaworld Entertainment doesn't do soft openings, and it seems to be true.
I am heading there Monday to take a look.
Man, as a FL resident, the BGT/SWO Fun Card is tempting. I've never ridden Manta. Add-on day?
Get the AP instead, it will get you discounts and free parking, as welll as other benifits... thats my two cents.

I was there for Manta and yes there always a chance but things change daily at this point in the project. I overheard last visit this weekend meaning tomorrow would have a great chance at softs
I will say though BGT has never had soft openings for a coaster.
Anybody want to go to SeaWorld on the 28th? :thumbs: (yes, this means I'm probably getting the AP). It's been a while though, do I go to Guest Services or Guest Relations?

Ride it first, trust me, before the lines get over an hour. People (dumbass kids) literally run to the que when they drop the rope.
JM Guest Services would be my guess...

Thought about going tomorrow but I am hanging out waiting for the Lightning game....
Yeah, I think I'm going to get that AP. But would I have to get it inside the park? I don't want to waste time. I would very much like to run straight to CH.
Found a Cheetah Hunt ride review on the St. Pete Times website.

Says it's a lot of fun, but slow at points. Pretty much what everyone has been expecting.

Manta soft opened two weeks early did it not? In any case, it does seem there will still be work going off come opening time. Oh well.

I remember when Manta soft opened, there were commercials and everything (at least in the Tampa Area)....needless to say, I RUSHED over there the next day after that commercial
It was weird to see Manta with a soft openeing and I was hoping Cheetah Hunt would, but at this point, I seriously doubt they'll open it until Grand Opening Day...
If you buy it online you can use the print out to get a ticket at a kiosk stationed by the tram stop and then go to the gates to get in. Otherwise you can buy the tickets outside the park, but I do not know if the you get the "best price'"
Then if you want you can upgrade the paper to ticket to a plastic (credit card type) for $5 as you leave and that goes to a conservation fund.
