Should CP update some of its stations?

Actually, when the ride was announced, it was BANSHEE. A day or two later, it was "_______." Several weeks later, we finally learned that they would call it "Mantis" and got to see artwork.
So while the ride was never called "Banshee" when it was open, the name and artwork were in fact announced to the public.

Mantis and Magnum could use a new point job. It seems they get worse every day....not to mention Gemini. It's too small but theres really nothing that could be done to solve that problem.

Overall, the my favorite station is Millennium Force. And yes, it is dumb to have the front and back line set up as they are. But the lights, music, design; even the line Q on the side makes it a great station. The station makes part of a great Millennium Force. Without it, the ride is completely differant and not nearly as great.

Don't let life fly by.

That's why you see some exthusiasts walking around the park in Banshee shirts and pins. Every once in a while they show up on Ebay...

The only ones I really had a problem with this year was that there were always too many people in the Magnum station.  Another is that Mantis could be run a lot more efficiently if it had an exit station, but I don't think that will happen in the near future.

What about some neon for Magnum... You know, around the squares in the load platform ceiling....

I agree with MagnumFAN. The Magnum could use a fresh coat of paint. Although painting the Mantis would be nice, its station and queuing lines need to be cleaned up.

Here's something the park really needs to do: give the Disaster Transport some better theming. Bring back a robot that used to be in the queue.Have fireballs and fake explosions along the ride. The ride needs these improvements because there will be more traffic in that area.

When I went, Mantis was rusty, there was all sorts of stuff in the lagoon, and the trim brakes were working better than ever :( . None of the TVs worked... it looked like a hobo's hideout next to the LA river!!!

You should have gone on the HalloWeekends...the day I went, I rode trimless all day. :) I even got some nice laterals and airtime on MS at night.

Magnum's station seems bigger than most of the parks older stations.  Maybe extending the station's railings back a few feet would eliminate some confusion.  Of course I'm not an expert, and I'm sure there is a reason it was never done.

The problem with Maggies station is than is not a square. Thats why the first 3 rows always seemed so cramped when your in there on a busy day.

Anyone Else but me think that Banshee would have been a better name then Mantis? I dunno I guess I just like Bamshee better
