Mako for me. Having someones bare corny feet in my face once on Manta did put me off a bit.

Both are fab though!

Mako 100%.

Love manta too, but being stuck in that position for 40 minutes when the ride broke down was not fun!

Mako for me. Manta was too uncomfortable. Think it was an age thing though, my daughters love it!

Row 3 of mako, try to leave the lapbar as loose as they will let you, airtime heaven

Slightly OT.

if you like mako you'll love shambhala - portaventura (spain)

We’ve just got back and are having this very debate in our house!
Hubby and son - Mako
Me - Manta

I personally don’t feel safe with that tray table they call a lap bar on Mako!
However the inside backwards loop thingy on Manta is just fantastic.
Think it helped that both rides have been walk on’s during our holiday. I also think the ride queue of Manta with the aquarium is also done well.

Shambahala coaster at Portaventura and Air at Alton Towers are also our favourites.

Edited - just watched the video, how did you keep your glasses on?! We were sat next a man who lost his phone on Mako. He wasn’t a happy chappy when the staff refused to go find it!

Edited at 07:00 PM. Reason: Watched video

The biggest difference for me is that whilst there is always a queue for Manta, Mako was pretty much a walk on.. even in August. So for me, Mako wins.

I prefer Manta, though. That loop is simply the best moment for me in any coaster any where.

Have to agree that the loop on manta is amazing!

I was also, by the way, impressed by Tigris in Busch gardens

So was I. I liked that really slow barrel roll across the top. Really unusual.
