I don't know about that. I think Mantis with floorless trains would be a lot of fun but I'm sure Raptor would still be lightyears ahead of it. Personally I love Gatekeeper despite the amazing amount of hate that it gets so I have a hard time believing Floorless Mantis would be better than that either though many people would probably disagree with me on that.
I would take take Mantis in its current state over gatekeeper! Thats just me. GK is super smooth and a very pretty ride. Just doesn't do it for me. Raptor hands down is the best B&M at CP
Srs? I'd rank GateKeeper above Raptor, and I'd put it just behind Millenium Force & forth overall at the park.
Really? Raptor is my favourite ride at the park (I did not get to ride Maverick) with TTD coming second and MF third. Then gatekeeper. It's not bad, it's rather fun, actually. But not very intense and that ending is terrible. However, I think the worst thing for me was how it seemed to rattle if you sat in the outside seats (which I always do) from the 3rd or 4th row back. The restraints do not help either. Yeah, but that's my opinion.
I'm starting to feel a vertical rattle on GateKeeper. A year old, and it's getting a rattle?
That can't be good for Gatekeeper!
