Manta ?

newestkg06 · Jun 29, 2015

I've read on a few different trip reports that Manta doesn't open until 10 (when Seaworld opens at 9). Is this true? My original plan had been to grab some muffins/juice/coffee at Seafire and have the kids eat while DH and I rode Manta as our first stop. Obviously, if it doesn't open until 10, that won't work. We're going in Sept, if that makes a difference. Thanks!

I checked on it this morning. Manta was open at 9 and was running both sides of the station by 9:10. There were trains leaving that were not entirely full.

My guess - since the ride has to be tested each morning there are some mornings where this testing takes longer than other mornings. It is possible that some days it will open closer to 10 just due to testing issues. I would think days with bad weather, either rain or wind or cooler temperatures, would also cause it to open later.

Bottom line - Manta opens at 9 but may be delayed due to uncontrollable circumstances.

Thank you so much for checking for me! That is really kind of you, and good info for me. Hope you had a good day at Seaworld!

We were there on Wednesday, Manta opened at 9 (we went on it first thing). Kraken did not open until 10.
