While this is one of the few stand-ups that I have ever been on, overall the experience just meets the typical demand of a roller coaster.

Mantis has the height, speed and inversions, but there is not a moment that really sets the coaster as being better than any other stand-up or any other coaster in the park. That being said, it is a coaster that everyone should ride because it is part of the record-breaking lineup at Cedar Point's park (16 coasters, 2nd most in one park).
