We need to stop complaining about this ride. Mantis is a great ride that would be an icon at other parks.
Just a thought: when i went and rode mantis i sat down in the station just slightly so the ride ops didnt notice but enough to where when i stood up the seat was about a 3/4 of an inch under me so it didnt go up in my crotch. Now the only reason that seat is there (i think) is to keep you from falling out if something happens and your legs bend or something (i think). It is much more comfortable to ride without the seat jammed in your crotch. You should also lean foward with feet all the way back for the best ride. :) *** This post was edited by TJohnson 6/27/2002 11:34:30 AM ***
Mantis was an awesome ride even though it jerked you around but that didn't bother me at all. *** This post was edited by Coasterfreak586 7/3/2002 11:48:20 AM ***
I love mantis! It's my favorite ride next to millennium force! You gotta ride it! Just lean forward and you should be oK.
