| Roller Coasters |
| It's everything Cedar Point is famous for. It's what you see everywhere you look. It's what Cedar Point has the biggest variety of. It's the highest priority of the managers. And with 16 of them, they are Cedar Point. |

| When Mantis was built in 1996, it was one of the largest stand-up coasters in the world. Today, it is still one of the tallest stand-up coasters in the world. The layout is basically all twisting and turning, with loops and corkscrews and diving loops without any notice. The main thing that makes Mantis stand out from all of the other roller coasters in the park is that it is the only stan |
| ding coaster. |
| Another interesting fact about Mantis is that it is the second roller coaster in a row at Cedar Point that was built by Bolliger and Mallibard (B&M). The one before Mantis was Raptor, which was a huge success. As a matter of fact, Cedar Point contacted B&M when they wanted to build Millennium Force, but they wouldn't built that high. |
