Has anyone ever ridden Chang? If so post about how the ride was like and if is an awesome coaster because, I might be going to SFKK next year and I want to know what it is like.



POST AWAY.

Opposite track wise. ^

Yeah, Mantis looks just like Chang, except like stated, it goes the opposite way. I've been on Mantis and it was the smoothest B&M I have been on. No joke either. It's definitely in my top 10.

Mantis doesn't hold a candle to Chang. Chang is nothing like Mantis except the lift hill, the turnaround dip, drop, and first loop. After that , it becomes a different coaster.

I liked Chang alot but unfortunately, SFKK runs one train operation on this coaster which is a logistical headache.

Mantis has a brake on the first drop(never understood that) and Chang doesn't.
I finally retired the Sarah Palin signature because she is now 100% irrelevant.

Mantis is my favorite standup as of now. I've been on Chang, but I still like Mantis better.

Chang is an awesome stand-up and is second only to Riddlers Revenge in mybook,

But like Chitown said, the one train ops on a ride that size is terrible.

I like Mantis, but I don't like how it hurts your legs.
It's green. It's blue. It's all over you! Enjoy your ride on Déjà Vu

I actually prefer Iron Wolf over Mantis, though Chang looks great.

I love Iron Wolf.(If you listen carefully while going up the first lift hill of IW you can hear a lady on the PA system saying, "please stay seated and keep your hands and feet inside the car at all times".)

Yeah, I've heard that before. I've always wondered if that was from the station spiel (you'd always hit midlift or wherever it is the same time each ride because the lift always travels at 6 mph or close to that) or its own spiel. I've always assumed it was its own but I could be wrong.
