If you were following my tweets last weekend- you know I was in SeaWorld, Orlando with @pop17, @geekmommy, @emom and @aschek. We were invited by IZEA on behalf of SeaWorld to take an exclusive hard hat tour of their new ride- Manta -and cruise through SeaWorld attractions on a VIP tour. I could not have had a better time, SeaWorld is a magical place (my tweets & pics slideshow below).
I can't wait to get back in May to ride the Manta! It is being constructed so that- while you are waiting in line for the ride- you are in a vast underwater cave with marine life of all sorts around you. The flying roller coaster itself is supposed to mimic the way a real Manta ray moves underwater. Watch the Manta simulation video below, it's wild.
Here Comes the Contest...
Win a Trip for 4 to SeaWorld and Ride Manta!
One person will win a TRIP FOR 4 to Seaworld including airfare, hotel and two full days at the park. (Note: Winner will be chosen from all the entries submitted across participating blogs).
