Yeah, missed that

You could see that footing in the pics Walt posted. I asked if anyone else saw it, but no one commented. To me, it looks like the footings for another concrete block wall. That area of the site is perplexing to me. It looks like a station, but then doesn't look like a station. The track is almost there though, so that's a good sign. :)

That track is probably after the final brake run to go into the station

Leslie, I know exactly what you mean about loving and hating Mantis at the same time. You can't help but like the ride, but it can be killer on the legs and head.

I love to get on it for that first drop, but the rest of the ride- I can do without. So I don't really make it a point to get on it whenever I go. It's usually not in the 'plan.'

Tim, I saw what you’re talking about when I was at the park yesterday. My take is ramp.......just a guess.:)

And during my stay at Breakers Express, I looked at the staging area and it's easy to identify all the lift pieces, especially the beginning and the apex.

Well there's a second Inversion. I don't like my guess anymore.

At least the Intamin OSTR is ok ;)
