*Stand-up thrills at America's roller coast*
Step back to 1996, when Cedar Point unleashed the Mantis - the world's tallest, fastest, and steepest stand-up roller coaster. This teal and yellow giant challenged riders to face its intense loops, corkscrews, and inversions while standing up, creating a unique experience that pushed the boundaries of thrill ride engineering.
This premium cotton t-shirt celebrates a groundbreaking addition to America's roller coast. The distressed, vintage-style design captures the excitement of a coaster that revolutionized the stand-up format with its record-breaking height of 145 feet and speeds reaching 60 mph.

*The Legend Behind the Design:*
The Mantis represented Cedar Point's continued push to break records and innovate coaster design. Built by Bolliger & Mabillard, it featured an intense ride experience with six inversions and a vertical loop that tested riders' courage. Though later transformed into the floorless coaster Rougarou in 2015, the Mantis left its mark on coaster history during its 18-year run, giving nearly 23 million rides to thrill-seekers who dared to stand up to its challenges.
