Raptor (Cedar Point)

Raptor (Cedar Point)

Raptor is a steel inverted roller coaster built by Bolliger & Mabillard at Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio, United States. When built in 1994, it broke many records and held many firsts when it opened. Instead of having a short layout designed to fit into a compact area like Batman: The Ride, Raptor was designed with a larger, 3,790-foot (1,160 m) layout making it the tallest, fastest and longest inverted roller coaster in the world when it opened. It features a total of six inversions, including a cobra roll, a first for inverted roller coasters. At its opening, it was the largest investment in Cedar Point history. The ride is themed as a bird of prey.

Raptor has a clone, The Monster at Walygator Parc in France. It was previously known as Orochi at Expoland in Japan.
