Valravn is the dive coaster that hangs you over the edge. The train crests a 223-foot lift, rolls to the brink, and holds you face-down above Lake Erie for a few agonizing seconds before releasing into a 90-degree plunge.

Opened in 2016 and built by Bolliger & Mabillard, Valravn set multiple dive-coaster world records at launch for height, speed, and drop.
