With the motion of the legs it looks a lot like the skeleton is getting "too friendly" with the fence.

My least favorite Coaster at CP but I love the layout. I hate the ride itself because it kind of hurts. Mantis is a Stand-Up for those who don't know.

I would get the souvenir cup, were it not for the fact that I simply ask for ice water around the Point whenever I can anyway. You've got quite a few good shots in there!

I'm glad they still have Demon Drop. I remember when there was that rumor going around that it was sold.

I was there this past tuesday. I am going to make a third and final maverick attempt sometime in October during Halloweekends and yes I will try to do a Photo TR in case I make it. I have sworn to myself I am going to ride Maverick before the end of the season.

As far as I know, or found. I believe that this was Dan's final Photo TR for CP. I went ahead and bumped it so you guys can check it out. It is too bad that he never was able to ride Maverick. I know he was trying to lose enough weight to try to get on it by the end of the season. He will be missed.

I'm sure if he had stapled himself hard he could have got away with it. It's a doggone shame he's never going to ride it.
