=__"The Mantis"__ =
 * Over summer I took a trip to Cedar Point. One of my faavorite rollercoasters is the Mantis. It is one of the popular rides at the park. The Mantis is brightly colored, and it stands out. It's loops seem to draw attention to it.**
 * During my trip, I wanted to ride as many coasters as I could. The old problem was my fear of upside down rollercoasters. The Mantis looked like alot of fun and it caught my attention. So I faced my fears and got up the courage to get in line to ride it. When I was in line, I was so nervous. I even began to shake as I watched to coaster go up into its first loop. I was also excited to finally go on an upside down rollercoaster. In the line I saw poeple talking, laughing, and waiting to get on. The Mantis is by some food stands, so I could smell the aromas of the different foods as I waited.**
 * The Mantis is a rollercaoster you stand up on. So when it was finally my turn to get on, I had to stand up straight and fasten the harness. Then the operator came around to check everyone. After that, she went back to lock the seats in place. Once everyone was secure, we left the station. As the coaster went up the first hill, I clenched to handles on the harness. Once we reached the top of the hill, next thing i knew we were in the first loop. At first I was terrified, and had my eyes shut but then i opened them and I loved it.**
 * After I got off the ride, I was alittle bit dizzy. Some people got sick since there are about 8 loops and corkscrews on the coaster. Right after i got off, some people were already going back in line again. I had an adreniline rish and wanted to ride it again. Upside down rollercoasters are exciting to me.**
 * I enjoyed the ride as much as i did the amusement park itself. I have only gone to Cedar Point a few times in my life, mostly when i was younger. So I wasn't really tall enough to ride most of the rides. I always have fun when i go, and if I got the chance to go again soon, I would.**
