[@ThinkerOnTheBus]

Three and a half minutes into the video/ride, and all I can tell thus far is this must be the Hurry-Up-And-Wait ride. Waited forever for the ride to launch, only to be taken immediately to another waiting zone.

[@ririnicolee.5763]

😂

[@jamie7027]

in that dark room you move backwards during the projections of the mantas on the wall. so the launch of the ride is kinda like the toy cars you roll back and release and then they zoom fast

[@Aether-di6ek]

The "second waiting zone" is a buildup to the launch. and also the reason why you need to wait so long is because of maintenance and ride operators making sure the launch sequence is good to go and waiting for the other train to get to a certain point on the ride in order to launch. Boarding and checking the restrains also increase the wait time. All of these steps are done to ensure your safety.

[@six-stringphantom1402]

@@Aether-di6ek that wait time is ridiculous though. Shouldn't take more than a minute in a half.

[@wickedphant0m]

The last 2 times I visited Sea World, the ops on Manta were PAINFULLY slow. Fully loaded trains just sitting there and stacking every cycle.

[@MyLittleCody120]

Going into the loop when you are laying parallel to the ground as opposed to sitting up is such a different and much more intense experience. I just went on Manta in Orlando yesterday for the first time and it was incredible

@@KyijahYukoi actually 3:37, before that it just goes to the tunnel thing and you wait again for like 40 sec

[@kevintheseacucumber6172]

i think this feels longer than it truly is bc if you're waiting on a coaster typically you're also waiting for everyone else to get their stuff settles, get seated, and for buckle and safety checks, but while you're actually sitting on the coaster you're anticipating the ride itself and are actually in the moment vs watching everything go down

[@Aether-di6ek]

For those of you wondering why it takes so long for the ride to start, it because of maintenance and the ride operators ensuring the riders safety. When boarding the people choose their seats and pull the lap bars down. This process takes time along with ride operators making sure the lap bars are secured. Then ride operators contact ride maintenance to make sure that the launch is ready and if the previous train has made it to a certain point on the track. Waiting for the other train on the track is important to allow faster departure times. Once all criteria is met the ride operators then allow the train into the launch and the cycle repeats. Problems may occur during boarding such as a child under the height limit. Which may cause a delay and also varying the wait time. I might be wrong but I'm pretty sure that's how it works.

[@jeremybowles9330]

Well it doesn't take that long. Usually this kind of wait happens when someone does not fit in the seat. They will usually try for a while to get the first latch but it ends up not happening so they have to let the person off and re open the gates and try again.

[@gavinrock2452]

Well it shouldn’t take 3 minutes. Also, they don’t have to contact anybody about a train passing a block zone, the ride won’t allow them to. Also, the computer really controls everything except dispatching the trains.

[@blakes100shorts3]

We know how it works. The fact that it took longer than the whole ride itself is ridiculous. Never once have I or anyone I know been on a coaster that took longer than this. It’s not even that long of a ride 🙄

[@jdmagic]

Yeah, no, you're pretty wrong. Gavin Rock explained it much better than you did lmao. The next train has to clear the block in front first- it's all controlled by the ride's computer and has nothing to do with "calling maintenance" to "make sure the launch is ready" (??).

[@stevenfkelly]

Regardless of the actual wait time, the video could have been edited to remove it.

[@quietyoutrash8150]

It starts off neat but there ends up like a kiddie coaster plus you wait for it to start longer than the ride itself. I like how that door opens at the beginning tho.

[@johnnyr8603]

I’m a passholder for Sea world Orlando and the manta ride here is much different. It goes in loops there are times when you were upside down and it also feels like you are flying. I also don’t recall the wait times on that one being as long as the manta ride from this video. Usually once you’re seated it takes them no more than a minute or a minute and a half to get the ride started.

[@alayssia1783]

This ride actually looks really fun. The tunnel is immersive, and it looks like there’s a few launches!!

[@MyLittleCody120]

I just went on this for the first time yesterday at the Orlando SeaWorld and it was amazing. I hopped right back in line and did it again in the front row and loved every minute of it!

[@MyLittleCody120]

I just finished watching the video and I would be so disappointed going on this thinking it would be like the Orlando one because it has the same name. No loops? No corkscrews? Sitting upright instead of laying down parallel to the ground?
