Manta, Steel roller coaster at SeaWorld San Diego, United States.

Manta is a steel roller coaster at SeaWorld San Diego with two launch sequences that reach speeds of about 43 miles per hour (69 kilometers per hour) along its 2,800-foot (853-meter) track, including underground sections. Each train holds 20 riders across five cars, with the second row positioned higher for better views.

This ride opened on May 26, 2012, at SeaWorld San Diego following planning that started in early 2011. The project became a major addition to the park's attractions.

The former Forbidden Reef exhibit was folded into the attraction: a touch pool sits above an aquarium holding 100,000 US gallons (380,000 L), with 65 bat rays, 10 shovelnose guitarfish, 2 white sturgeons and more than 400 other fish. The trains carry manta ray shaped fronts.

Riders must meet a minimum height requirement and should check safety rules before boarding. Visit on quieter weekdays when wait times tend to be shorter.

The first launch takes place inside a 270-degree projection cinema, a world first for a launch segment, where manta rays appear to swim overhead. The train rocks forward and backward in time with the film of a coral reef and a school of rays before being catapulted out of the tunnel. The media tunnel and film were produced by Falcon's Treehouse.
