Here is the track switch system. The central piece of track rotates slightly to the left and right to direct the train to the available side of the station.
The large metal bar at the front of the shot pushes down on a levering mechanism, forcing the seats to swing back into the flying position, where they are then locked in place.
Guests board in via a split loading station, which helps boost capacity.
The ride is based around the way Manta Rays 'fly' underwater.
Manta is a large B&M flying coaster. Guests are strapped in downwards facing seats that give the impression of flight.
The six flags which started it all and gave the park its name. The flags represent the six nations that have governed Texas. From left to right: Spain, France, Mexico, Republic of Texas, Confederate states of America, and finally the USA.
The pedestrian underpass which gets across to separate plot of land the ride is on.

Ever since an incident at another Six Flags Park, where a guest was killed by a passing coaster train, management have opted to update the signage around rides. Evidently, simply telling people to stay out of a ride operation area isn't effective, but warning them of high voltage is!
