What was the original intended name for Mantis at Cedar point? Ironically, why was it changed?

Before Premier Parks acquired the Six Flags Company, What Six Flags park did they try to acquire/manage?


Hint: The park still exists to this day AND is still a Six Flags park.

Hint. It is a Six Flags park that Six Flags owned in 1998. Not a Premier Park that Premier Parks converted to A Six Flags!
