Memorial Manta Day at SeaWorld
SeaWorld is now announcing Manta for Memorial Day. Actually, a few days early on May 22.
The video above (aptly described by SeaWorld as a "teaser") is long on fish and short on coaster, but it's pretty cool nonetheless.
If I'm reading the iconography of the video correctly, the ride will have an effect similar to the one at SheiKra over at Busch Gardens Africa, where a part of the ride vehicle chassis dips into the ocean, sending up a plume of water to soak bystanders.
While you're at it, pick up the best freakin' guide to all the Busch parks. At a discount.

Sheikra Goes Floorless
The already pretty terrifying SheiKra vertical drop coaster at Busch Gardens Tampa is set to get even scarier.
The ride will shut on May 29 so the floor can be removed. The new, floorless version will debut on June 16, if all goes according to plan.
Read my review of SheiKra.
