Raptor is one of the tallest and fastest inverted roller coasters on the planet and has ruled the sky at Cedar Point since its debut in 1994.
Standing an amazing 137 feet high and flying at a top speed of 57 mph, this green monster takes its passengers upside down six times, including a first-of-its-kind 'cobra-roll,' a thrilling element that flips passengers over, spirals them upside down into a 180-degree roll and repeats the twisting motion in the reverse order.
