Exceptionally designed inverted coaster that lets you know whos boss from its initial drop that makes you feel like youre going to be flung out onto the midway until the powerful helix and final brake run. Each element is designed so you get the most intense feeling of the forces throughout your body while still enabling you to catch your breath. The whip through each inversion is fast and furious and the barrel, or zero-G as some call it, roll is one of the most out-of-control, mind boggling moments in the thrill ride world. 8 years later, Raptor is still my favorite coaster at Cedar Point and this bird of prey is sure to get you clawed, er, hooked!

Ride it!

This is a great inverted. One of the best. If you like inverteds, you have to ride this classic.

This is defenatly a great ride. This is my favorite inverted coaster next to Alpengeist and Dueling Dragons. The lift gives a great view of the midway and the front of the park. I love the elements and the amount of space this coaster was jammed into. Great elements of negative and positive Gs. It is very smooth too making it better than some other inverts. This ride was pretty short though and it usually has a long line. Defenatly wait for the front seat of this ride! Might I add any other Inverted ride.

If you want a tough B&M invert then this is for you and youll rate it a 10 too. See, I dont mind having raptor throw me around a little bit. I like that. Yes B&Ms are supposed to be smooth and all, but I think they may have taken that one step too far with Talon in 2001 - a tad bit too tame for my taste. I like the good old 94 vintage Raptor, a B&M inverted thats not afraid to be a little harsh (but just enough).

GREAT RIDE. Good amount of inversions, great helix, good drops, and just a ton of fun.

My second favorite ivert next to Alpengiest. It creates some g-forces that cant be felt on other inverted coasters. The final helix compliments the whole experience nicely.

Until riding Montu, this was my favorite inverted coaster, but rode Montu 2 weeks ago for the first time and goodbye Raptor from my Top 10. Still, Raptor is a great ride, especially in the front seat. Second best coaster at CP.

I was seriously scared while on this ride the first time. I think it was the last ride that I was on where I was praying to God during the ride just incase we didnt make it back. I am more relaxed on coaster these days.

One of the older B&M inverteds and still one of the best. Its age shows a bit now, but it still holds its own with the newer breed of of inverted. The Cobra Roll is killer!

All Though Its the only inverted coaster Iv ever ridden its my 2nd favorite overall. I saw it from the gates, waiting to enter CP. Oh what a big green wonder. I didnt get to ride it till later because my sis was too short. That afternoon I was totaly blown away. Suddenly I remebered why I came! After that I was confedent to ride EVERYTHING! Thanks to this ride Im a thrillseeker.
