Cedar Point’s B&M floorless coaster on the former Mantis footprint — trains hang riders’ feet free after the floor drops away, then climb a 145-foot lift into a first drop and a dense inversion package over the midway. The 2015 conversion kept the park’s first stand-up coaster structure while changing the ride experience from upright restraints to floorless seating.

Timeline
Background
Rougarou is Cedar Point's Bolliger & Mabillard floorless coaster on the former Mantis footprint. Mantis opened in 1996 as a stand-up coaster; in 2015 the park converted the structure to floorless trains so riders hang with feet free after the station floor drops away.
The layout still climbs about 145 feet into a first drop and a compact inversion set over the midway — the same steel silhouette guests knew as Mantis, with a different body position and restraint style. The Cajun werewolf name refreshed theming without relocating the ride.
It remains a mid-park capacity filler between hyper out-and-backs and the park's newer launch/tilt headliners: intense enough for enthusiasts, familiar enough for guests who remember the stand-up years.
