New ride Valravn hits 75mph [121 kilometer/hour]
7 May 2016
Cedar Point, in Sandusky, Ohio, is home to the new roller coaster that opened to the public on Saturday, the same day the park opened for the season. Valravn gives riders a sweeping view of Lake Erie before dropping them over 200 feet on a 90-degree free fall that hits a top speed of 75 mph. It also turns riders upside down 3 times
The Valravn section of Cedar Point's website says: 'Your flight on Valravn begins when you board 24-passenger floorless trains and climb 223 feet into the Cedar Point skyline at a 47-degree angle. 'Then, you'll face your fear of straight-down freefall as the train is temporarily stopped and held into position on the very edge of the 214-foot-long vertical drop.'
Vice president and general manager of Cedar Point Jason McClure told WOOD: 'The really big difference is right before the drop you hang for four seconds and it can be the longest four seconds of your life.'
The ride was designed by Bolliger & Mabillard, which is based in Switzerland
10 World Records made by Valravn:
-Tallest dive coaster - 223 feet
-Fastest dive coaster - 75 mph
-Longest dive coaster - 3,415 feet
-Most inversions on a dive coaster - 3
-Longest drop on a dive coaster - 214 feet
-Highest inversion on a dive coaster - 165 feet
-Most roller coasters taller than 200 feet at one amusement park - 5
-Most rides at one amusement park - 71
-Most steel roller coaster track at one amusement park - 9.9 miles
-Most roller coaster track at one amusement park - 11.4 miles
