tycoonrebel7188 Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 Rumor has it that Sea World Florida is building a new flying coaster for 2009. Over at Floridathrills.net a user has posted pictures of wide gauge red track from our local Clermont Steel Factory. http://www.floridathrills.net/confirmation...5407&page=9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Nemo Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 Nothing looks more wonderful than fresh paint to a track that is not put together yet. From what the rumors state, the name of this new attraction is 'Manta'. There is only one 'confirmed' B&M going up in '09. What has been semi confirmed is that it will utilize the flying experience.

KDCOASTERFAN Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 You know,why use the red color if it's themed around a manta ray? of course they already used a blue shade on krakken but they could always go with a much darker color than the light blue they've already done. This should hopefully prove to be an interesting layout & hopefully something original unlike all the S:UF clones that are out there & yet not all stretched out like tatsu at SFMM is.

I would not be to worried about is it going to be an interesting layout, Orlando parks usually make one of a kind attractions because they need something to attract people from around the country.

Have you riden Tatsu? It puts all the boring Supermen to shame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you riden Tatsu? It puts all the boring Supermen to shame. I think that flying coasters in general are a wonderful experience. I remember when Air came out at Alton Towers and how amazed everyone was (Even if it is a mechanical mess). S:UF is one of the best Flyers I have been on, almost as good as Firehawk. Those pretzel rolls really pack a thrilling punch so I can only Imagen what Tatsu's pretzel roll feels like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 Tatsu is far and away the best of the US flying coasters....and this is coming from a writer who thinks the Vekoma Flying Dutchmen are far superior to the B & M Supermen: Rides of Steel.

PKIDelirium Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 That appears to be Dive Machine track. Probably for the Busch-like park that's under construction in Australia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
