Gee, Maybe Mantis will get new trains so it will become the high capasity ride it was ment to be and also be able to turn that daym brake off.

I for one actually like the trim on Mantis. As I think you get more of a hanging feeling through that first loop which I just think is awesome.

Just a reminder that not all trims are evil, some are there for good reason, and some actually :o add to the ride. I know its a hard concept to swallow, but on some coasters it is the case.

I was just there Saturday and Sunday and I don't think Wildcat looks that great with the new paint job. I like it better the old way (It's funny cuz I rode it Saturday night but it was dark so I couldn't tell until Sunday morning when I passed - very surprised!)

186 days left until opening day @ Cedar Point!

I am a boy.

I'm divided on the subject on Mantis' trim. I rode it twice on a rainy day (yes, same day I rode Mean Streak in the rain), and could defineitly feel the diffeence with an innefective trim. The g's were so intense that I literaly collapsed in my harness in the brake run. That was one time I was glad for a bit of stacking, and those constricting harneses! On the other hand, It was fairly exhilerating, once I got over the shock. And the G's pasted my head in place during the ride, preventing the headbanging that can make the ride fairly unenjoyable.

To be honest, I liked the old colors too, but maybe this will be a change for the better.

The top 3 all time cobrarolls.

1)Raptor's
2)Deja Vu's (times 3)
3)Batman Knight Flight's

Today the track was finally finished (Purple) and the supports are a very bright yellow. I think that it will look great after it is all done.
