This is a great ride! Don't listen to the people who say it is painful, because the harness is as comfortable as a stand-up coaster can be! The inversions are all intense, and the whole ride is smooth. This is a must ride!

This is the only stand up coaster I've ever been on. I didn't mind the trim brake as much as everyone else seems too. I have to agree with the review above mine that it REALLY hurts ur legs. My calves seemed to cramp up as well and made the ride very unenjoyable. The first half wasn't so bad, but after the block, it got bad.

I like this ride, but the line is a little too long for as much as I enjoy it. My other beef, is that it hurts my legs. No matter how I do it... stand up on my toes a little, or bend my knees a little, my calves cramp up. That detracts from the fun a little for me. But all in all, it's a fun ride, and standing is kinda cool.

It's a nice ride. Could be better. But it is still a great ride. I love the dive loop.

I love this coasters queue! This is probably the best queue I've ever been on! The sound Mantis makes as it roars around is pretty cool, the fountains around the lake are interesting, there is music, a CP video and of course an incredibly entertaining layout to look at. The coaster is great, I LOVE all 3 of the loops, the ending is a bit annoying though shaking you up a bit, but it's not painful. If you like lateral G's you'd probably like it. But that, and the trim brakes, are my only complaint. Although Mantis is not the best coaster it is still a lot of fun and it's visual appeal is great too.

This is the only B+M standup that I've been on, and I thought it was fun, but just ok. They trimmed the frist drop, and that kind of takes away from the ride, but overall, this is an intense ride, and it really puts a smile on your face.

My only complaint about Mantis is the trim on the drop, but after that you have a fun g-filled ride with plenty of twists and turns. Each inversion is taken at great speeds including a fast corkscrew, my personal favorite inversion on the ride. The ending figure-eight is all about pos. g's however and is one of my favorite endings to any B&M coaster.

Trimmed too much! On the drop? Why trim the drop? This is the worst B&M I have ever been on they trimmed it WAY too much. RRv is a lot better.
