mightypotato Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 In a shocking twist, Cedar Point will be installing Skyrider from Canada's Wonderland. Or it'll be a Triotech dark ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamondbacker27 Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Do any of you think Lebron James will come to CP if Mantis will become King James: the Ride? Yes, I mean if a ride was named after me. I would go to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dchang11 Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Do any of you think Lebron James will come to CP if Mantis will become King James: the Ride? He won't be at the grand opening. The Cavs will likely be in the playoffs next season. The park opens the first week of May. Did Cedar Point call a press conference today? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diamondbacker27 Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 If it's basketball themed, then just no... No. I don't want to think about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KilroyMcSpunk Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Well it's apparent that Cedar Point isn't hyping this up as Holiday World did. Don't expect anything major. My final guess.... a REPAINT! Probably of Cedar Creek Mine Ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robbalvey Posted September 2, 2014 Author Share Posted September 2, 2014 (edited) Cedar Point's video is up! Official Press Release: SANDUSKY, Ohio (Sept. 2, 2014) – It’s the “last stand” for one of Cedar Point’s steel scream machines. Earlier today, the park announced that the Mantis roller coaster will soon give its final rides. Mantis was billed as the tallest, fastest and steepest stand-up roller coaster in the world when it opened on May 11, 1996. Featuring trains that secure guests in a standing position, Mantis provides its passengers with a unique ride experience. Mantis was built by the same legendary manufacturers that brought guests the Raptor and GateKeeper roller coasters – Bolliger and Mabillard (B & M), Monthey, Switzerland. In its 18-year history, Mantis has given more than 22 million thrilling rides. “It’s time to say goodbye to one of the park’s coasters, and it’s certainly been a different kind of ride for our guests,” said Jason McClure, vice president and general manager of Cedar Point. “But we’re extremely excited about what the future holds here at the Roller Coaster Capital of the World™.” Guests still have time to give Mantis a “standing ovation” before it shuts down permanently on Sunday, October 19 at 8 p.m. Additional plans for the 2015 season will be announced at a later date.
