Raptor was pretty good. It was the first inverted that wasnt a batman. I loved how it was longer and was right along the midway, but I hated how rough it was on the cobra roll and brakes at the end. I got 3 rides on this in one day just because the park was closing and there was no line!!

Raptor is a pinnacle of the inverted coaster. With its great speed and gorgeous airtime. The green monster was bread to bring you all these ingredients. Raptor came by in 1994 as the tallest and fastest inverted in the world. And even now it still seems to have that feat. I suggest getting a freeway stamp and after the employee stamps you, just simply wipe it off and when you are off the ride do it again. Me and my bud rode the thing 3 times in 30 minutes lol. I know it was being rude but hey if you have the brain power to do it you mind as well right? But getting back to the coaster itself, raptor has some great elements. The first vertical loop is great, and if you really want to feel the air you should ride it with no shoes or socks on. The air going through your feet feels great! The 0 g role is twisting as well with the great original cobra role turning you around twice. The final two corkscrews are unsuspected which ads great suspense and the best part in my mind is the final double helix. If you sit in the back seat you can feel the force of around 4 1/2 gs pulling your weight straight down to your feet. CRAZY, in every aspect of the word. Dont forget the jamming wiplash at the end of the ride. Some people dont enjoy it but its great to me. The more intense the better Well coaster enthusiasts, thats Raptor in a nutshell. A truly masterful ride.

Great inverted coaster, unfortunately its placed near the entrance causing longer lines than necessary

One word: AWESOME! No question the best inverted Ive ever been on. Glass smooth and lightning fast the whole way. Good job, Cedar Point!

Very good ride, but no positive gs and rough on last turn. Other than that, awsome. The zero g is one of the best I have experienced, and helix is good.

Wow... what can I say about this ride? Its probably my favorite invert on Earth (but then again, I havent been on Alpie). The drop on this coaster is insane, especailly in the very front of the car. Then theres the signature B&M loop, and all of the nice elements that go along well with the ride. The ride is a definate 10, because I think for the ride like this its perfect. Its a MUST at Cedarpoint!

The finale was very intense, especially with the midcourse brake run off, but very fun. The whole ride is thrilling and never lets up. My only complaint is the minimal headbanging and the flies that hit you in the face during nihgt rides.

I love this ride. It is very smooth and disorienting, with great elements. My favorite part is the huge vertical loop and the cobra roll. Even though it is not the tallest or fastet, this bird of prey packs a punch.

An excellent inverted coaster. The first drop is nice, but nothing spectactular. Same with the loop following. The barrel roll/twist following that is still what amazes me about this ride. Its probably my favorite twist on any inverted coaster. The cobra roll is also awesome. The corkscrews tended to hurt my head, but the helix at the end is powerful, and a lot of fun. The first 2 time I went on this, it was far superior to the latest time, when it seemed to bang my head around a lot more on the cobra roll and banked turns.
