Mantis should have been named...

It's not the ride Rob, it's after the ride. I distinctly remember coming into the station (after waiting on the brakes for 2 minutes), and coming to a stop. Then all of the sudden, the whole harness, seat included, shot up to it's highest position. I was un-aware it was going to do this. :(

All I remember about it after that was the string of explatives that I said as I limped down the exit ramp.

I like the ride though :)

Well, Rob, I am that tall, but unfortunately much "larger" than you. I did loved the ride just as much as Raptor if not better when it first came out. With the addition of seatbelts it's difficult for me to get into that perfect position, feet back and leaning forward. :( :(

Oh, and it does not hurt me where, well you know. I have a bum knee with a bad ACL and torn cartilage that buckles out from underneeth me from it being intense. If I could lean forward better, it would take care of that problem. With the seatblets it's a far shot for me to get in the ideal position.

I have a bad knee and I'm only 19 :(. Must have ridden Magnum a few to many times :)
