Mantis Construction Photos

Are there any pictures available of Mantis being constructed?

The only one's I know of are from Construction Digest from April 8,1996

Those are the first pictures I've ever seen of Mantis construction. Thanks!

That's awesome.

Your very welcome, I do not remember were I found those pages at. Just know it's been on my hard drive for years.

Here's a picture taken from across the bay, I believe it is from 1996.

I actually had that magazine at one point, but I wasn't as into roller coasters back then, and did not keep it. Who knew?
