SeaWorld Orlando was kind enough to supply Roller Coaster Pro with the following photos of Manta's track fabrication process.

This is very interesting to see! I don't think that I've ever seen a coaster being painted before!

So the track color is Griffons? Weird choice, but alright! As long as its B&M or a A&B park I like it. Any ideas on the layout?

Uhm, Griffon is a dark Blueish Purple? I need an eye exam.

I think it's easy to notice the darker color of Manta's track.

Granted the second picture's lighting leaves something to be desired.

Griffon is pastel blue. Manta is deep royal blue with a purple tint.

EDIT: Damn you Jake :p

But when you ride griffon and in the front row. it looks identical to the photo seen. I may be wrong.

Anyone got any ideas on the layout?

Wow, I have never seen that before. That's really neat. It's also very cool that Sea World sent it to us. :) Thanks!

Griffons track is the same as the pic above.
Griffons paint job is a light blue.

The track of Manta is a dark blue, and look for the supports of Manta to be around the same color as Kraken.
