Raptor at Cedar Point is one of the rides that put inverted coasters on the map. Your feet dangle beneath the track as the train climbs, then carves through six inversions that flip the sky beneath you and the ground above.
Built by Bolliger & Mabillard and opened in 1994, Raptor was one of the tallest, fastest, and longest inverted coasters in the world at its debut, and it still anchors Cedar Point’s front-of-park skyline.

Raptor opens with a sweeping first drop straight into a vertical loop, then a cobra roll, a zero-gravity element, and a pair of corkscrews near the end. With nothing below your feet, every inversion feels exposed and weightless.
