Ride the World's Newest, Fastest Dive Coaster Without Leaving Your Chair Buckle `up Member's & Hold on

POV footage of Cedar Point's new Valravn​ is the closest you'll get to turning your desk into a thrill ride.

May 13, 2016



This week, Cedar Point debuted its latest coaster "Valravn," a fitting addition to the Sandusky, Ohio amusement park's menagerie of 17 roller coasters. Forget the new Marvel movie; the real start of summer is when a new steel monster with 75 mph drops and beautiful if fleeting water views opens on the south shore of Lake Erie. Especially when it's the longest (3,415 feet), fastest (75 mph), tallest (228 feet) coaster in the world with at least one 90-degree drop, which is what makes it a "dive" coaster.

Last year, Cedar Point put out a virtual reality animation of the coaster, but now the first real POV video is here. It won't mess up your hair or give you that feeling in your stomach but it will let you preview Valravn's drops and turns right from your desk.

Hi Mod Barbara, I'm happy that you enjoyed. I love coasters and they can be addicting. My favorite is still Go Karts, but coasters you just hop in and hold on

Member's what is your favorite coaster ?
I laugh @ the funny sounds that humans make when they are scared, excited or in total fear (LOL) They yell `out OMG "Oh My God" a lot & SCREAM some wild sounds
like they all are going to die or something (LOLO) + the funny faces >LOL
