I hope this would be their Manta "land" version with the exhibit and everything else. I hope they get credit for it too. Seems as if most people only praise and criticized Disney/Universal but Seaworld Parks gets no mentions. I know a lot of people don't even bother going to Seaworld not to mention BGT, "all the way in Tampa!" but I love those parks.

I know a lot of people are going to be more interested in seeing the Tomorrow Land expansion. But for me, this will be number one on my next trip's to do list!

This ride will be on top of my list next time I visit Florida.
