Nothing much to report as it has been rather quiet on the Manta construction front recently, so here's a little update.

The park has posted a few photos of construction, mainly ground clearance and mud work, on their Facebook page. We've chucked in the concept artwork for good measure.

Manta is a launch coaster with a top speed of 43mph (69kph). When it opens next year, it'll feature a massive aquarium with 65 California bat rays, 10 guitar fish and more than 400 other fish.
