Mantis Cedar Point POV

[MultiBuster27]

ouch!!! this ride hurts my balls ant makes my legs num but I love it.

[OrganizedChaos900]

Is this the one where u stand??

[Naynnick]

Why is ray william johnson in the tags...?

[RollercoasterGEEK100]

WOW, This is horrible, no theming! :O. Im from the UK and every ride in england has theming, Such As (Nemesis Inferno) a B&M invert themed around a volcano. The station os even a volcano!

[tatsurider]

@RollercoasterGEEK100 in america we theme to, after all we have disneyland/disneyworld, but this park is more about the thrills. search top thrill dragster at cp its pretty well themed.

[RollercoasterGEEK100]

@tatsurider yea, iknow top thrill is themed good, hust matis could have like a mantis model and the area is filled with the queue line.

[ahhculdee]

@RollercoasterGEEK100 This is Cedar Point,most of their rides aren`t themed that well.

[ahhculdee]

@tatsurider We also have Dollywood,if you ever get there theming is to notch,espically Mystery Mine,Wild Eagle has some of the best theming for a B&M coaster,and the park in genreal.

[ahhculdee]

@ahhculdee I meant to say top notch.

[rupefan]

@RollercoasterGEEK100 We have themes, LOL. This is just more about the thrill, than an actual themeing. Honestly, we love thrills out here. It's what matters most. BUT, we also love themeing xD

[jr5455]

Dose this hurt ur Dick?

[D1GPLightning]

@jr5455 No, but it can hurt your testicals.

[tslabjr7]

@D1GPLightning possibly but this gives your brain some exercise more than anything. you feel like you have a concussion when you get off. i wish they would make this a floorless.

[SCREWCHUCKNORRIS]

Where's ray william johnson in this video?

[iamagummybear12]

ha this opened the year i was born. awesome

[preciousfatena]

wow its actually not as scary as i thought it was!

[CONSTRUST]

@viverzkidd umm no. 1.six flags is owned by cedar point. And 2. That mantis has been there since I was a kid. So if it was "stolen" even though its not. It would be the other way around.

[Jokey77777]

@CONSTRUST Six flags is NOT owned by cedar point. Six flags is a chain of its own. Cedar point is owned by cedar fair.

[Left4Final]

This ride hurts your legs because your standing

[rod6190]

fuck you

[will101page]

THUMBS UP...For Cedar point being the best park in the world

[rod6190]

fuck u

[CSM0fficial]

This is the exact same as Chang (or Green Lantern) Riddlers @ SFMM is the best :D

[jkaykayy]

my 8 year old sister went on this and laughed.

my 15 year old brother went on this-- and screamed his head off.

[annaxkayy1]

i didnt think this one in particular was that fun :P i rode it after millennium though haha so that kinda knocks it down a few notches

[zeroair4]

my favorite ride at cedar point

[Brierules711]

Im a girl sooo yah no nut sack, but this was my first stand up coaster n i couldnt scream cuz i had a smile glued to my face constantly. It was amazing people who dnt like these things btw.

[Slicemyapplesauce]

This is a great rollercoaster but it is also the equivalent of a sex change on wheels.

[StevieG454]

For people who dont know, this is a stand up rollercoaster.

[MLDWoody]

Most painful ride at Cedar Point

[PanickedSerenity]

Hate this ride. I have a headache everytime I ride. I know I hate it, but every time I think "Maybe it will be better this year..."

[griffinisbeast14]

georgia scorcher is the only stand-up i have ridden that doesnt hurt. this and riddlers revenge made me fill that me nuts exploded.....

[1294928]

I had sheered pains on my legs after the high dive loop. My legs doesn't hurt when I squat down to pull down the harness and seatbelt on into the test seat.

I was about to squat down to put the harnesson the actual ride, ride attendant

told me to stand back up I'll get it for you. lol 3 pushes to hear it click

[imaginerp]

How many loops?

[griffinisbeast14]

@imaginerp 4

[Magentashapeshifter]

Best ride ever.

[scminization]

they should rename it "The Nutcracker" 

[HotlThoth]

vizers cedar point owns six flags

[Viverzkidd]

THEY STOLE THE STRUCTURE OF THE SUPERMAN COASTER IN SIX FLAGS IN FIESTA TEXAS! Look it up!!!!! NO LIE!

-.- Stupid workers.

[sixflagsfan1113]

@Viverzkidd Superman was built after Mantis. Every B&M coaster has the same type of track.

[taytaybunni]

Thumbs if they should turn this into a sit-down floorless!!

[taytaybunni]

this year was my first time ridding this i was very nervous cuz i never been on a stand up and i thought it would hurt...and it did but i wouldn't mind riding it again

[taytaybunni]

im like 4"10 (im a short 12 year old lol) and this didnt bang my head but it made my legs feel tingly this isnt a terrible ride but i wish they could turn in to a sitdown coaster like a floorless the layout is pretty cool

[D1GPLightning]

@taytaybunni But it defeats the purpose of it being the tallest and fastest stand-up coaster in 1996.

[TheCedarpoint1]

@D1GPLightning who gives a shit

[sixflagsfan1113]

@TheCedarpoint1 The only reason a coaster like this hurts is because your not standing the right way.

[TheCedarpoint1]

@D1GPLightning who gives a shit if it defeats the purpose no one wants to have to barf after getting their balls thrown around

[D1GPLightning]

@TheCedarpoint1 If this ride makes you barf after getting your balls thrown around, then shoot an email to Cedar Point, and they'll be glad to listen!

[Punkrock3011]

@D1GPLightning its always the tallest and fastest with you americans and america never put theming into there rides here in britain we have more theme parks than you and we have themed areas or themed rides in nearly everyone of our parks

[D1GPLightning]

@Punkrock3011 Next time, don't assume because I live in North America, I am American. For your information, I am of Canadian Heritage.

[Hieagandaus]

@Punkrock3011 Look at Disney World.Which I know you probably been there.I see people from the U.K. there all the time.Your also the first British person to say that British rides are better then American rides....

[TheWurlitzerFan]

@Punkrock3011

-"It's always the tallest and fastest in America! Whaaaaa!"

-"We have the best theming! We have more theme parks than you!"

Seriously?

[Punkrock3011]

@TheWurlitzerFan Uhh no you dont yea you have more parks you only more mainly have themed entrences we have a full themed ride like nemesis and oblivion

[Torin2015]

@Punkrock3011 Oh no!

[TheWurlitzerFan]

@Punkrock3011 I wasn't saying that you didn't have more/better themed parks (because you do). I was noting the hypocrisy in your comment.

[Punkrock3011]

@TheWurlitzerFan Ok, Sorry i didnt know god! im so stupid XD

[mimi98016]

@taytaybunni i was 4'10 when i was twelve , you'll be surprised you'll get taller

[wraith55]

My brother and I call this ride the nutcracker

[TheBSFLway]

i was gonna go on this but i heard it really hurts ur legs

[CedarPointLuvr9999]

I LOVE this ride!

[stratafm]

@XemilyannelovesyouX heck, even the Mean Streak is taller at 161 feet.

[stratafm]

@bluegreenred5 every time I've ever been on this ride my legs and feet have started tingling. It's an interesting feeling, but it's not too bad. Doesn't really hurt. Just feels awkward. Trick to the bike seat is to squat just a little. Bend the knees. When they lock the seat in place, stand normally and you'll have enough space between your nuts and the "seat". One hell of a lot less painful.

[MrBlackhawk65]

im gonna get on this ride on october,21,2011

[101gabed]

Cheese

[AnGirl013]

I wanna know who was sitting around at Cedar Point Headquarters and was just like "Hey! I know! Lets make them STAND! Won't that be just funsie-wunsie?"

[leeuh]

im a girl and this ride hurts!!! would be better if you could sit down and not have the seat up ur hoo hoo

[bluegreenred5]

Does this ride hurt your legs? I'm going to CP soon and I'd like to ride it, so if someone could tell me, that'd be great! :D

[SamuelisOwesome]

FAVORITE INVERTED COASTER

[Awesomelyricsforyou]

@SamuelisOwesome It's not inverted.

[SamuelisOwesome]

@Awesomelyricsforyou sorry i meant stand up lol

[Awesomelyricsforyou]

@SamuelisOwesome =D its great though right?

[SamuelisOwesome]

@Awesomelyricsforyou hell yeah i love this ride top 10 i know that much hahha

[neoryan333]

i wanna go on this but im 5' 3" is it gonna hurt my nuts?

[D1GPLightning]

@neoryan333 Yes, it will violate your nut-sack quite viciously. I'm not 5'3, so there.

[neoryan333]

@D1GPLightning WHAT? ive heard people that go on it say that its like a bike seat and your nuts are kinda hangin on the edge like on a bike if ya know what i mean.

[D1GPLightning]

@neoryan333 Hahaha honestly, It didn't hurt me, I'm 5'5, you should be alright, the hell with it, just go on it!

[sixflagsfan1113]

@D1GPLightning That's strange, because the Green Lantern doesn't hurt you at all, unless your stupid and stand hunched over or crooked. It does't mattter if its Mantis, Riddler's Revenge, Green Lantern, Georgia Scorcher, Vortex, whatever you do, DO NOT BEND YOUR KNEES!!!!!

[babygirl671000]

@D1GPLightning i was like 5' 3" last year and i went on it and my friends. it didnt hurt him and i am a girl by the way now i am 5'4"

[ShaneTaylors1Fan]

@neoryan333 Wear a cup.

[zookeychan]

@neoryan333 When you first get in, crouch down to lower the bike seat a tad. When they lock it, stand up and the restraint should be cupping your shoulders--then you'll be fine.

[CarlChub]

@neoryan333 I went on this ride today, and it's quite a ball-buster. Also, it's obviously a stand up ride, and for whatever reason, this ride gave me horrible charlie horses/ cramps in both of my calves.

This is a very painful ride. I definitely wouldn't recommend it. Ride "The Maverick" instead.

I've been going to Cedar Point for over 10 years now. Trust me.

[D1GPLightning]

@CarlChub Compare the wait times for Maverick and Mantis.

[CarlChub]

@D1GPLightning Well, you'd definitely be waiting longer in line for The Maverick than The Mantis, seeing as Maverick is a relatively new ride at Cedar Point. The Mantis has been there for years. It really depends on how busy they are the day you go. But it's totally worth it. Maverick is the best roller coaster in the park, in my opinion. Longest I've ever waited for it was an hour. But that was on a busy day.

But, again, totally worth the wait. Waiting in line for Mantis? Not so much..

[poopyman43]

@D1GPLightning  lol true

[WPNxViiSiOnzZ]

@neoryan333 Just dont slouch and you will be alright

[babygirl671000]

@neoryan333 hahah ur nuts will be fin

[babygirl671000]

@babygirl671000 fine*

[cslopesr]

i was suppost to go there today but we had to cancel!!!!! :(

[MrChikki]

but will it blend.

[D1GPLightning]

@MrChikki Quite possible.

[deathrooster14]

@D1GPLightning Hell, that blender can blend anything.

[JiGe96]

Looks like a mirror of Chang (nowadays Green Lantern at Six Flags Great Adventure).

[deathrooster14]

@JiGe96 Other way around. Chang is a mirror of this.

[GabbyEllesse]

Y U NO SCREAM?

[MrJasonvoorhees101]

@GabbyEllesse theres nowon on the ride

[8435tly]

i like this ride because its long enough to be worth the wait

[lexilo62002]

0:40 is the part where they go down

[Chumpster1981]

Holy shit, that end of the ride with the corkscrew is basically the same with the Iron Wolf at Great America. RIP Iron Wolf

[syver00]

@Chumpster1981 dude all coasters r the same basically. stfu dumbass.

[deathrooster14]

@syver00 HNNNNNGGGGG!!!!!!!!!! *beats with baseball bat*

[syver00]

@deathrooster14 nigga u wish. i fuck u up with one hand



[deathrooster14]

@syver00 Lol. Just messin around. People who say all rides look the same get on my nerves. Compare the two. No similarities. And your ghetto spelling really says something about your intelligence.

[syver00]

@deathrooster14 huh funny you say im actually advanced in all my classes and i was messing around to. and btw all rides llok the same, except in color, trains, stations and seats. so fuck off and dont judge somesones spelling by their intelligence dumbass!

[ThomasTheNook]

This ride is absolutely bitchin', If you keep your legs completely straight, your nuts will be fine, But I guess thats easy for me to say since I'm 6 foot 2"

[xothisdisaster]

i got stuck on this bitchass ride

[abbeyroad0123]

Are your feet strapped in to?

[D1GPLightning]

@abbeyroad0123 Hahaha your comment is one of the most interesting I've read, but no.

[bluequeen3]

on this ride you have to stand up. it hurts so bad going down the first hill! but there is a bike seat that you aren't supposed to sit on but i sat on anyway... it was fun! :)

[dudezofamerica]

one of the tallest rides at cedar point????? no....just no.....

[D1GPLightning]

@dudezofamerica At it's time dude, get it right -.-

[dudezofamerica]

@D1GPLightning no. you said and I quote "Mantis is one of the tallest coasters at Cedar Point AND (note the and!) was the tallest and fastest stand up coaster when it opened. so no....still wrong on that first part....

[D1GPLightning]

@dudezofamerica AND just proves my point even more because it was at a time, and it takes common sense to understand that "one" of the tallest coasters at CP doesn't necessarily mean it has to be the top 3 tallest.

[dudezofamerica]

@D1GPLightning If you read it, it practically say mantis is one of the tallest now, and used to be the tallest when it opened....hence the AND

[D1GPLightning]

@dudezofamerica AND it was the tallest stand-up coaster when it opened in 1996. WAS

[dudezofamerica]

@D1GPLightning okay firts you say IS....ya see that or are you blind? then it says WAS when it opened! ya see that IS???

[MsChloee2011]

Omg were is all the screaming..?? and this has not got a big drop at all..x

[crazyben108]

yea the worst roller coaster to ride for a guy cuz the seat rlly rides up ur crotch

[hunterttwwdi]

It hurts my nuts

[sophieaug11]

I rode that before it hurts your head but it's fun

[BoiJohneh]

w0w guys dont be too loud!

[oreoninja98]

Omg i'm 4'11" and I rode that and my legs hurt sooo bad

[hannahfan3311]

I'm 4'10 and in 5th garde would it hurt.?

[Rillissia3453335]

@hannahfan3311 uh... yeah...

[hannahfan3311]

@Rillissia3453335 How would it hurt.?

[stangsaleens7]

I went to cedar point just a few weeks ago, and this ride bangs your head around. and the bicycle seats did not feel well, up in my crotch.

[XemilyannelovesyouX]

145 feet tall and one of the tallest coasters at CP? I don't really think it'd count against Top Thrill, Millenium Force, & that Magnum one.

[fluffy6756]

@XemilyannelovesyouX He said WAS... Learn to read before you talk.

[XemilyannelovesyouX]

@fluffy6756 Good lord, no need to be so snappy. I think if you look at the info bar, it says clearly: "At 145 feet, Mantis IS one of the tallest coasters at Cedar Point". And then yes, it goes on to say that it WAS the tallest coaster in the park, but that wasn't the point of my comment :) Maybe you should read a little bit more yourself.

[XemilyannelovesyouX]

@fluffy6756 Hah, that's alright (:

[TheBdr000]

this reminds me of green lanturn



[planeking6]

My legs went numb riding this.

[Gnats23]

im deffiantatly riding this for my first coaster when i get to cedar point

[Glitterbear5151]

@Gnats23 oh cool when are you going im going this saturday woot woot have a great time and might i suggest raptor,corkscrew,maverick (not blue streak really bumpy) HAVE FUN AND HAVE A GREAT DAY

[Gnats23]

@Glitterbear5151 i went yesterday that was my 15th time being there

[Glitterbear5151]

@Gnats23 oh sweet did you have fun? favorite ride if i may ask?

[Gnats23]

@Glitterbear5151 i have to say the iron dragon i love riding it in the front

[Glitterbear5151]

@Gnats23 oh nice i rember riding that 3 years ago i ALMOST cried and i rode it last year and i was like eh better than blue streak

[mindovermuscle2]

Mantis lines are usually 15 min or less. I wanna ride it 5 times when I go there. Same with the MF, TTD, Raptor, Maverick! I can take or leave the rest. Gotta ride PT this year. Shooting straight up is better than going straight down. They might have a new coaster next year!

[FanOfRobert]

my thighs were fucked up after this ride

[mbedek11]

Fuck this ride

[Davidnstarj]

Oh my gosh!At 0:50,look at Millenium Forces drop on the left!

[pev07]

I loved this ride but it hurt the shit outta my crotch

[PickleMDM]

I wish this was a sitdown coaster. When pulling up from a drop the blood rushes to my feet and it hurts a lot.

[jrcfdez]

se parece un monton al dragon khan

[BlueDudeCC]

It's fun, but you sometimes lose feeling in your feet. It's still an awesome ride.

[Mmom4051]

Omg I went on this for the first time today and my legs HURT SOO BAD im ten (Almost 11) and OH MY GOSHH!! But other than that it was a really fun ride:)

[ZZincorporated]

@jdavis2016 I rode it when I was 9 lol

[iluvdeidaraandgaara]

this ride is really fun.... just try to keep your hands down or you might feel some pressure on your legs xD!

[musicis4evr]

this ride is my FAVORITE ride in the park!

[MultiCedarPoint]

one word amazing



[carlysutubechannel]

It's fun but I wish it didn't hurt so bad. :/

[AbercrombieBoy12]

THIS RIDE HURTS YOUR LEGS SOOOOOOO BADD!!!! only to some people like me ..but to some it doesent

[funnybone1959]

The only part that hurt in any way (at least for me) was the corkscrew. Other than that, it was an amazing ride! Loved it! And just a suggestion, go to the front. Amazing View!

[jdavis2016]

I rode it and im only 12!! I was perfectly fine! That was my favorite ride! Just dont sit and legs strait and you will be fine!!!

[MyNewPerspective1]

@jdavis2016 Wow, CONGRATS BIGBOY. *Straight* btw.

[RaybertJ101]

Everyone who says this ride hurts is a liar and does not know how to read! Before you get on the ride there are signs all over telling you to keep your legs straight and not to sit on the seat! If you follow those instructions then this ride is great!

[mustanglover1985]

I road this for the first time when it opened in 96, I was 11 and my dad and I waited in line for over 3 hours to ride in the front and to this day it is still my most favorite coaster!

[codysimpsonluv143]

i was there today DO NOT GO ON THIS, I T HURTS UR LEGS SOOOOO BAD!

[rappinhumpty]

@codysimpsonluv143 i know it does

[twodorrah]

This ride hurts like a bitch. Excuse my French.

[TheBestYears1996]

now that right there is a perfect day for cedar point! sunny and no clouds!

[MyMsnyder]

im 5.6 but i dont do upside down rides

[cnolan20]

@thesmellynugget i rode this when i was 5ft tall. I'm just about 6 ft now. You'll be fine lol.

[DorneyPark5]

i cant believe that the magnum is taller than this

[PickleMDM]

Been on it, it hurts the shit out of my legs. Besides the pain in the legs from the positive Gs standing up, it was fun.

[gamefan1997]

i have been on the ride, and you stand on it =D

[Kraiigx]

I hear this hurts ur CROTCH!!

[TheBananaman380]

how come all stand up coasters do that curve thing after the chain lift?
