Mantis promo video surfaces from 1995

Posted | Contributed by Jeff

When there's nothing new, we turn to the old. Check out the original Mantis promo video that was sent to the press back in 1995. The video sets up the story behind the name and shows computer animation of the ride. Follow the link on the Guide to The Point home page.

Not half as good as Raptor's Promo. I was severely disappointed. (Not your fault, of course, Jeff.) I kept waiting for the real "wow" moment, but got nothing.

Raptor's is an epic! Love it.

How I feel about the videos is, oddly, pretty much how I feel about the corresponding rides.

It's interesting to see these old CP promo videos re-surfacing. They're neat. It'd be kind of cool to see a compilation VHS or DVD video of all of the CP ride promos. Just a thought...

I didn't download the video because I think I have it at my house. It has a mad scientist in it, right? This is the earliest computer animated coaster I've seen in which the animation looks realistic. *** This post was edited by MooreOn on 12/27/2000. ***
I liked the Raptor video and this one was cool too. Mantis is my third favorite ride at the Point behind MF and Magnum.

That's a pretty good video, but I still think the Millennium Force video is the best. It still gives me goosebumps every time I watch it.

Now i understand why CP doesnt *really* theme their rides. Taht video was lame. But thanks anyway for putting it up Jeff. I appreciate it.
