I rode this for the first time on Sept. 3rd this year. It was an hour and 15 min wait and I was in the very front row, which is the best place for a standup. I really liked Mantis, I dont know why it gets some really bad reviews sometimes. I liked it better than Raptor, actually (but I was not in the front row for Raptor). Mantis is awesome at the beginning but gets a little less thrilling on the second half of the ride. Overall, I think its a fun coaster that deserves more praise than it gets.
