Quod oculus meus videt

Manta Ride, Sea World

While I must confess to being something of a chicken when it comes to roller coasters you have to appreciate the skill and ingenuity of the designers of these rides.

Manta at Sea World wasn't even there last time we visited the area. It is a flying style coaster which looks quite appealing (not that I would go on it!). Having spoken to some that have it can strike terror into even the most confident riders. In the picture you can see how they add value to the ride by spraying water near the riders as they fly close to water (and a rock face) near the end of the ride.
