SeaWorld Orlando is set to construct what has already been deemed their most ambitious and expensive attraction yet.

Though sketchy on the specifics, SeaWorld announced on Wednesday the addition of a roller coaster which combines a thrill ride with animals.

"It's going to have animal components, marine-life components. It will have a very unique, state-of-the-art ride, a roller coaster if you will, that will provide a sensation of gliding," Joseph Couceiro, vice president of sales and marketing for Busch Entertainment Corp., said. "The combination of the animals and the ride is what makes it special."

SeaWorld has long had a rumor circulating on the addition of a B&M Flyer, similar to Air.

According to the rumor, this flying coaster would incorporate a theme around manta and sting rays, the highlight of the attraction being a splash down area similar to Griffon and Sheikra, during which themed fins on the train would dip down into the water, causing a water spout effect.

Could this be that speculated roller coaster?

And if so, would the rumored splash down area be filled with swimming rays, fulfilling the announcement of live animals being featured in the ride?
