Raptor POV

Raptor rules the sky at Cedar Point! Built in 1994 by the world-renowned team of Bolliger and Mabillard (B & M), Monthey, Switzerland, the Raptor roller coaster was voted No. 11 in the "Best Steel Roller Coaster in the World" category in a survey conducted by Amusement Today in 2005.

Guests ride in cars that are suspended from the track above. Specially designed seats allow passengers' legs to dangle, providing the sensation of flight. Aiding that is the fact that riders go upside down six amazing times! The highlight is a first-of-its-kind ?cobra-roll,? a thrilling element that flips riders over, spirals them upside down into a 180-degree roll and repeats the twisting motion in reverse. Looming 137 feet above the Main Midway and reaching a top speed of 57 mph, Raptor is one of the tallest and fastest inverted roller coasters in the world.

Nearly 27 million guests have been picked up by the claws of this steel giant since 1994. In 2006, 1,645,189 riders "kicked the sky" on Raptor. Guests must be at least 54 inches tall to ride.

I went on this one twice. The first time was thrilling, but it was nothing like the nervousness I felt before coming up to the first inversion. The second time was after I rode the Magnum, and this *actually* felt relaxing to me. No, seriously!
