Manta Unveiled

On March 4, 2009, Manta's car was unveiled with a zero car shaped like a manta ray that will scoop up the water causing the splash effect. A zero car is a car without a row of seats. The first coaster to introduce the zero car is Alpengeist at Busch Gardens Williamsburg in March 22, 1997.

After Alpengeist opened, there were no other new zero cars built, until the day Manta's car was unveiled. Here is a picture:
