Mantis

 When Cedar Point announced this ride, it was named Banshee.  After determining that this name could be offensive to some people, it was renamed Mantis prior to opening in 1996.

Mantis was designed and built by Bolliger & Mabillard.  Like Iron Dragon, building Mantis required filling in part of the lagoon, further shortening the Boat Ride.
