KilroyMcSpunk Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 It's not 30 minutes yet, and we're debating about the name? What name? I haven't heard crap! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loop-de-loop Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 IF it's being removed, and thats a big if, I'm sure it would be relocated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thepoint4life23 Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 As for my thoughts on test paint .I im sure they have paint laying around cedar point. So why not Play in to all the Rumors and paint a small part of track not like it would cost a lot and take much time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Geek Mojo Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Could Matt Ouimet be on a mission to rid all stand up coasters from Cedar Fair parks? Skyrider and Mantis are gone. Next up...Shockwave and both the Vortex coasters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KilroyMcSpunk Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 (edited) Wait a second. We're now defending stand-ups? I though we all hated them! Not that I disagree, but what the heck? EDIT: Not that I've seen you guys perform a 180 on your general consensus before, but this is just day and night to me. Sometimes you all are a mystery.

Sharman19 Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 I would love to see how Mantis looks as a floorless coaster with a new paint job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3Mutts Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 (edited) Remember the Bizarro conversions... Edit: Also the girl is hugging the standup trains and not the track, could this mean bye bye standup trains?

PVA62 Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 (edited) I would be pretty disappointed if they took Mantis out completely. I really liked the layout, just not the whole standing up part. I guess we'll see later at some point. And as for Vortex and Shockwave, I didn't think Shockwave was all that bad, neither was Skyrider. Vortex at Carowinds was a pretty awful experience though.

bgroodog Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 You know, this is really cleaver marketing. They are essentially faking the death of the ride, forever. Next year it will have new colors, new trains and a new name. The GP will think it is "NEW" without a hefty price tag. I also would like to see them change the ride environment a bit too. There were rumors of the second half of the original ride being "Indoors" but due to the ride going overbudget that got canned. Could they revisit this now with a total rebrand of the ride? (One can only hope) But who knows, maybe we are looking too far into this video and it will be gone. ANYTHING can happen at this point! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Mantis will be replaced with "The LeBron James Experience," which will stand at Cedar Point for 2 years before relocating to a park in Florida and to come back at Cedar Point in 2020. Unless Cedar Point already fulfilled that bet with LeBron coming back to Cleveland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moneygrabber Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 I'm very, VERY intrigued by this. My dreams of RMC Mean Streak will be laid to rest for another year though. Anyway, this is so confusing. Cedar Point is being very vague. Just because "last stand" was said doesn't mean it's getting fit with new trains. It could still mean it's going to be toatlly removed. I'm rather indifferent on it honestly. Last summer when I went it wasn't good or bad. Can't wait to see this develop, although October 19th seems like a long time to wait for the rest of this story.

ThemeParkJunkie51290 Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Well, at least I got a chance to ride it in 2013 for the first time. If you don't have that credit yet, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR! GO RIDE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KilroyMcSpunk Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Maybe Cedar Point is pulling it's media guesses late in the season. I know Holiday World started off early this season. CP may want this whole suspense to last the entire winter! That's my guess, and I'll shut up from now on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thewesker Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 I rode it just a month ago for the first time. It was once too many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eastcoast Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Sure lets have some fun with it, but I really thought they'd announce the full plans today. This is strong enough confirmation of the conversion but we'll still probably have to endure a few pages of Mantis' (non)impending removal. My only wish is that it gets some badass looking trains. As far as that test paint goes, it looks a little garish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
