Mantis At Cedar Point Breaks

[thesui65]

Oh, that's a sham

[paralyzed103]

@daniellepringle1 no if there is a problem they fix it then re-open the ride they don't just it down because if they did every single ride would be closed and they wouldn't even be able to run top thrill dragster because that one breaks down all the time

[Shull97]

it got stuck when i was there wed 2 times

[MrAllSubject]

@badcompanygames im too tall so i wouldnt know :) but its already 2 days after i rode it and my legs still hurt :/

[badcompanygames]

love this ride im 11 ive rode every big ride there i like this ride but its a ball buster lol

[olafmydog]

fail

[GuitarPerson159]

well that was anti climactic...

[98CEDARPOINT]

Half the times the ride stops is when a worker comes up there and takes there camera because they got caught.

[VampiressFira]

When I rode this it damaged the muscles in my legs. I was limping for a couple days afterwords because of it. Shit sucks man.

[ultimateheroo104]

On December 24 at 8 o'clock in the morning, a young 14 year old boy by the name of Scott Johnson was found dead. Doctors couldn't come up with the cause of his death. His mother checked his emails to see if she could figure out what happened. Turns out he was still signed in myspace. She found he had gone to sleep after he read and didn't repose a chain letter. If you don't repose this to six videos a girl with no face will kill you tonight. sorry don't want to to die

[sandyboobs]

that happens daily with that ride

[davittman]

this happened to me at thre top of steel force at dorney park...dumb emergency brakes

[TheKiwiSplash]

this is why i dont DO amusement parks

[archeryftw]

breaks ur balls when it actully works:(

[supershadow64ds]

what was wierd when I went yesterday, friday the 13th All the rides were having mechanical difficulties. The raptor, the wild cat, the blue streak, the iron dragon and the mine ride. I think jason was cutting all the wires. :P

[krgrubbs]

Great ride if you like not being able to see anything, G forces that make you want to white out and faint, and all that whole crotch pain and discomfort, then this is the ride for you!! I'd rather ride Mean Streak that's how shutty this ride is!

[ToneFigglehorn]

i just went to cedar point like 3 days ago...BEST PARK EVER..the dragster was amazing!!!

[robbyj890]

i hate this ride, it gives me a migraine

[MadiLynneOfficial1]

i love cedar point im going next week

[brdwaydreamr]

this roller coaster hurt my legs... all the pressure when you go on turns and upside down goes all into your knees and shit, it hurts.

[Reva10835]

i've never been on Mantis.. something about standing up on a rollercoaster scares me..

[lightsnsoundsxxx]

It's really not that bad. I'm semi scared of roller coasters and with this one it kind of still feels like your sitting. It's just really really jerky with your head.. I wish I had a hoodie or something because it gave me a headache and made me feel a little sick after wards..

[stephenwodadancerfan]

its realy fun thts wat i thought but its cool

[Tylerdude70]

its really fun

[Sliminem313]

1 time i was gettin on the mantis and i wasnt all the way straped in and the fuckin guy went over 2 start it i got scared as shit and yelled for him 2 fasten me

[awgenerals]

your retarted they go around and check every single person before the ride starts stop making shit up

[Sliminem313]

i know there supposed to make sure ur strapped in but the guy walked right pass me

[davittman]

that same thing happened to me on steel force in dorney park...the chain got to hot so the emergency brake kicked in the only bad thing was we were 200 feet in the air and i was scared shitless to begin with

[awgenerals]

ohhh...i was on the millenuim and we started ti go up the hill (it was 9:30 so it was dark) and some person flashed the camerha and they stopped it like 98% to the top and told them to delte the picture

[CrzChris4]

If this happened last year during Halloweekends, I was on the train. It was stuck up at the top of this hill.

[Nitile]

Yesterday, a lady fell out of her harness on the Mantis.

I was like, "Oh shit!"

I was next in line to get on in that time! xD

Also, Millennium Force is awesome.

[awgenerals]

your retarted if something like that happened they would close it down

[cps6290]

yea i dont believe that one....there were 0 deaths at Cedar Point this year

[ovechkins8n]

OMG i hate the mellenium force on weekends, u have to wait like 4 hours, and listen to fucking queer music the whole time unless u have a good DJ, i had to listen to old people oprah music =[

[StangAstro]

LMAO THAT SUCKS!

[iSpitzo]

this ride hurts ur balls, i rode it and i didnt like it cuz u cant see anything unless ur in the front row

[StangAstro]

yea i agree with the whole front row thing, it jerks your head around, its very painful

[AparoidX]

You should crouch a little when you're on a standing ride so when they lock the seats in place you have a little extra room to move around.

The other thing I hate about standing rides is that if you keep your head back chances are your ears will get banged up really bad.

[cps6290]

i tried that last time for mantis and the operator told me to stand up straight

[MystiqueRisingSun]

@iSpitzo People actually ride in the back?? I wouldn't know, I've never turned around to see if there really was anyone behind me.

[matt3756]

ur in line for millennium force. haha, fricken awesome.

[pogochamp113]

Oh yeah! Nice catch ;)

[spartan9185]

haha yyeah you can tell by the awful techno music

[matt3756]

nope sorry, best line music in the park :D

[Bossniqqa99]

@matt3756 yup that millennium force isnt better than the top thrill dragster! that ride is bomb!

[skycoaster25]

this happened on may 20th 2011 but idk y i was in linw for millenium when it happened

[brackattack14]

its not broken!!!

[LamePivots]

are you kidding i thought it was the smoothest ride!!!! woah lol

[FanOfFab4]

Mantis was my least favorite ride, it hurt my head too much banging side to side.

[PBSisBAD]

@FanOfFab4 ugh, I hated mean streak. it is waay too bumby. ok, wooden roller coasters can be bumpy, but not like that.

[LuxxyGirlz]

Well it didn't exactly get stuck, they had to wait for the train before to speed ahead or else they would've crashed into it. I stopped on the Mine Ride with my younger sibs because of that.

[swarmgirl97]

hs....the ride RIGHT BEFORE mine in line for the magnum at cedar point got stuck at the VERY friggin top! the poor workers had to climb 200 feet tall of steps to fix it

[mohead138]

Train Stuck On Lifthill, amazing, I've never seen that happen ever! Glad you were able to catch such a rare occurance on video.

[RachelRampageXD]

i dident get stuck so im lucky :]

[CEDARPOINTFREAK14]

my cousins got stuck on mantis

But i still love cedar point!!

[crispayy17]

i was on that in the front seat with my friend

[dodgeballer2290]

They normally will stop a train on the lift like this to move the other train on or off of the track.

[JAF546]

Wow...I was standing right like where you were standing that day...best school trip ever! (laughs)

[asaisaac]

This can happen for many reasons. some of the most common are:

1. Emergency Stop (un-dun Seat belt)

2. Second train has not hit the MCBR

3. Technical Difficulty's

[ATLCoasterMan]

and take off or put on the 3rd train

[ScottScott12345]

That was my birthday the day they filmed this. How did it break though?

[cake3303]

When it stops like this it isn't broken. It would be something like the someone undid the seatbuckle the is there for extra measures or they needed to wait for the previous train.

=)

[dtfann03]

What sucks is you are standing up on this ride.

[dardraa]

ya i know... it really hurts the nuts

[sk8erduude1]

i like this ride. and u arent really standing, u have a bike seat

[dardraa]

a very uncomftorable BIKE SEAT!

[Pillarlive]

yeh a kid rode nxt to me and got it to where he wasnt standing but morely sitting on the bar. i told him are you ready to get you nuts busted and b4 he could fix it it locked and we went up the hill. he cried on the drop i said youve been to the nutcracker?

[dardraa]

rofl

[MestizoFilipino]

You are actually standing although you CAN sit if you wish to. I wouldn't think it's too comfortable. I've ridden Chang, same seat style, very similar ride.

[Youknoewhat]

Maybe theres a fat guy up there

[air130]

that sucks cause this ride was fun

[guthix474]

omg omega it happened on 5-16-08 it was added on 5-21-08 can you see the difference?

[OmegaSonicDD]

wait...so it happened on 5-16-08 but was uploaded earlier in the year?

or am i missing something?

[Tom9508]

it does that every once in a while. it did that right before i rode it last time. then i saw it do it again when i came back a couple weeks later

[MichaelDavisISTC]

It's not really an accident. That happens often - it's usually the ride control computers, nothing physical beyond that, and nothing dangerous.

If it happens for a short time and it's near the top, it's fun because you can enjoy the view a while before you ride.

[Kspin07]

why did it stop?

[harecurtis]

i was on that when it happend.

[BeagleGal012]

kk thx

[BeagleGal012]

waz this on a thursday??!! because i waz there and it did the same exact thing when i waz there

[pogochamp113]

no, it was a friday

[BeSTxFRiENDSx]

are you sure this wasnt june 16th? becuz the same accident happened to my friend on june 16th on the same ride.

[pogochamp113]

yeah im sure, this video was uploaded on may 21

[OKSIRYDOC]

thanks to anti-rollback chains!

[geoffrey0220]

that would be fun
