Most have said 2.5 I don't know how long you are at that but it is a little while. Incredible feeling taking off.

That must be something to experience. The Mantis at Cedar Point (which is a standup rollercoaster) exerts somewhere in the range of 1.5 G's and that seemed pretty hefty. I can't wait to ride M:S and experience it for myself.
Are all of the G's positive, or do you also get to experience negative G's (weightlessness). If so, does anyone know how -g's the ride exerts?

strobe, As they said there are no - g's, but the moment they say weightlessness achieved on the ride, it sure feels like it. Many coaster have higher G's, but you don't keep them but for a second. with M:S you keep the apx 2.5G's for a while. I smile everytime during takeoff and the G's make it that much bigger.

strobe... What did you think of Mantis??? It was my first stand up coaster, and I wasn't impressed with it at all... It jolted my head around way too much, not to mention how your upper legs (and surrounding areas...) felt afterwards...

Out of all the roller coasters I have ridden (and that's a LOT), I think the Mantis rates dead last on my scale. The ride is bumpy (and not in a good way), you're too confined, and the G's are rapidly presented in a fashion that makes you feel like you are going to pass out. I have ridden this coaster exactly once, and I wouldn't do it again even if it was a walk on. I love every other ride in the park, but this one fails.
That's just my opinion though, some people actually love it!

This is EXACTLY how I felt after my first ride, after waiting 70 minutes to board... And I turned down my first ride on Milennium Force so my younger cousin could do this one... after I swore to never get back on it after my first ride...
Anyway... I never did make it to Force b/c it was stormy the next day (when I planned to get on it), and my little cousin did make it on it on the day we did Mantis... But that just gives me a reason to go back!!!
Although CP isn't Disney, they've got some decent thrills, even though the park is hard to navigate at first and to find ride entrances...
