SeaWorld in Orlando is set to open their newest aquatic themed ride in May: The Manta Coaster!
In the spirit of festive market buzz, they’re offering a chance to win a free pass to go to the “Front-of-the-line”!
That’s the grand prize, but there are other prizes:

Yeah, it’s some pretty corny stuff, but you could have a lot a fun doing it. If my kids were older, we’d be doing it. I think it would be a blast to just involve the kids in the creative process of making a mask and a video. Besides, even if you don’t win any of the prizes, you still get a complimentary electronic photograph from your Manta ride experience at SeaWorld Orlando for completing just 2 of the activities.
I wish I could participate in this contest
