Worried about riding Mantis

[halltd]

I really don't think Mantis is boring. It has some pretty good elements to it. Granted, it was better before the trim on the drop, but whatever.

 

I agree with a lot of the other people saying the headbanging is worse than anything you'll get on your boys. I've never had issue with the "seat", but the OTSRs are another matter. If you listen to the ride ops, they will tell you the best riding positing in my mind - or just read the signs.

 

The other tip is to ride it early because the line gets stupid long later in the day and moves slower than a snail. While it's not the worst coaster in the park, it's also not worth an hour wait in my mind.

Haven't been on Mantis, but Vortex (B&M Stand-Up) at Carowinds has a reputation as the "crotch-rocket". It REALLY rides "down there" .
