"Cedar Point renamed the coaster Mantis (but the sound the coaster makes as the cars roll, originally intended to sound like a wailing banshee, remains)."

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that the second part of that sentence is completely unsourced. From what I've read of B&M coasters, several (including Kumba and Raptor) make a loud roaring-type noise due to the way the track is constructed. Kendall 03:34, 20 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Rougarou

[edit]

Just as a note to everyone: I don't think we should move the page to "Rougarou (roller coaster" until Mantis closes in October.--Dom497 (talk) 20:39, 18 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. FirstDrop87 (talk) 00:26, 19 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
We're just going to treat this the same as any of the Six Flags revamps of their wooden coasters, right? But with a name change of course. Hooky-i-vanisher (talk) 04:16, 21 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Mantis photos instead of Rougarou photos?

[edit]

@GoneIn60: Any reason we want to favor older Mantis photos over newer Rougarou photos? Seems like all the Mantis photos are now less informative as they no longer represent the ride in its current form. --Varnent (talk)(COI) 20:17, 26 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Varnent: Nope, you're right. I overlooked the fact that the previous photo was of Mantis. I reverted it back. Thanks. --GoneIn60 (talk) 21:34, 26 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
