| Notes: | Initially, Mantis was to be named "Banshee." In Irish folklore, a banshee was a female spirit whose wail was said to foretell a death in the family. After this definition was printed in a local newspaper, Cedar Point felt uncomfortable with it in its patrons' minds in association with the new coaster. For sensitivity reasons, the name was changed to Mantis, which was on a short list of names for the coaster. The original logo would come to be that of Dorney Park's Steel Force. |
