This one is a launch coaster, also from Intamin, and not only is the best new coaster of the year in my book, it’s also the best coaster in the Middle East. But the best ride in the park is Manta, the third SeaWorld roller coaster to carry that name. attraction is Hypersphere 360, in the park’s Arctic zone, an innovative gravitron-like attraction from Intamin that provides the all-encompassing visual immersion of virtual reality without the isolating goggles. SeaWorld Abu Dhabi also themes several attractions to a group called the “S.E.A.,” which here stands for “Scientists, Explorers and Adventurers,” rather than Disney’s “Society of Explorers and Adventurers.” The Arctic zone of Sea World Abu Dhabi features Hypersphere 360, one of the new park’s top attractions. That’s not the only similarity here to Disney. Near the end of the ride, there is a wing dip element right above the tank of several fish and rays. The ride allows guests to ride in the prone position. The drop immediately follows with a pretzel loop. MicroOcean is SeaWorld’s children’s land that looks much like a non-IP version of Tokyo DisneySea’s Triton’s Kingdom. Manta is a Bolliger & Mabillard flying roller coaster located at SeaWorld Orlando in Orlando, Florida, USA. Below that, visitors will find the entries to the park’s remaining six realms. Surrounding the 230-foot-wide plaza is what the park bills the world’s largest LED screen, a wraparound, 360-degree surface showing a hypnotic loop of larger-than-life underwater scenes filmed in 8K video.

A full-sized dhow sits in a harbor opposite touch pools, creating an environment designed to evoke the emirate before oil. The first, Abu Dhabi Ocean, is to SeaWorld what Main Street USA is to Disneyland - an opening statement that grounds what lies beyond in a nostalgic appeal to an idealized past. Instead, the star of this SeaWorld is the building itself, which features eight themed “realms” simulating ocean habitats around the world.
