Mantis Merchandise

With the recent closing of Mantis (One of my favorites, Even with the private area issue) I'm on the Hunt for some Mantis Merchandise. I didn't really want to start a thread on this, but I can't find one where I could post (If you find one tell me so I can delete this one) Any who anyone know where I could get some?


I'm a Rougarou that doesn't bite, I've been domesticated by Cedar Point

Try the park's many gift shops or even Ebay. On there just do a search under "Cedar Point Mantis". I guarantee you between the two you'll find something you like.

Or just ebay. :( I was in the park on Friday the 12th and visited most of the gift shops (many for the first time in probably a decade). The list of Mantis merchandise was as follows:

Postcards
Magnet
Possibly a keychain, I don't remember all of them.

That was it. It might be included on a "collage" t-shirt with lots of the coasters, but I know that is not what you are looking for (me either).

Tony had a recent tweet that included an image with the Mantis logo. I wonder if they might have some promotional stuff or something.

I don't think there's been much other than keychains and magnets available for a while. Some rides just don't get any loving from the merchandise department. Blue Streak had its 50th and there has been nothing Blue Streak to be had in the park unless you were there for the party and got freebies.

Actually Tony sent out a pic a while ago of BlueStreak merchant in the park

Yeah that's what I was searching for in my gift shop crusade. Here's the tweet from back in July:

I emailed the park last week and was told they sold out. I'm not that surprised, but I wish I had gotten one.

Meanwhile, take your pick from 25 different GateKeeper shirts...

So pretty much like I said, there is no Blue Streak stuff to be had. I"ve been watching the shops and never saw a single one of those shirts. One shirt in limited quantities isn't merchandising, it's teasing.

I've got 3 mantis sew-on patches and a mantis coffee mug. The mug I'll part with,patches I'm keeping.

Repeating from another thread:

Mantis Keychains - Emporium near FT train station
Mantis Magnet - Pagoda
Mantis Poster - Gift Shop by Power Tower (you need to ask, they are in a drawer)

I have a set of shot glasses. One for every roller coaster in the park including some that have since closed (Mantis, Wildcat, Disaster Transport) Gatekeeper & Maverick were both added after I bought the set, so I had to just buy similar ones individually for those, so they are not exact matches to the rest of the set.

nothing left in the stores,was told all mantis merchandise was pulled by marketing dept for use on last ride on mantis day.

I'm surprised that hasn't sold yet.

Hey Dennis! I sent you a private message. I know this thread is really old, but let me know if you were able to receive it. Thanks!
