Valravn - Cedar Point - 4K POV 2016 - Sandusky, Ohio

Valravn is a steel roller coaster at Cedar Point amusement park in Sandusky, Ohio. Built and designed by Bolliger & Mabillard, it is the third Dive Coaster in the United States. The ride's theme is based on a supernatural bird from Danish folklore called the valravn. It opened on May 7, 2016, as the tallest, fastest, and longest dive coaster in the world.
In January 2015, the Sandusky Register obtained a memo from Swiss manufacturer Bolliger & Mabillard (B&M) announcing the arrival of a record-breaking Dive Coaster at Cedar Point for the 2016 season. The memo stated that the ride may be installed on land formerly occupied by the Good Time theatre, which was demolished a few months earlier. The park's spokesman, Bryan Edwards, later confirmed that the Dive Coaster was one of several possibilities the park was considering.
Site preparation began in late 2014, when the Dodgems and Calypso rides were relocated to the Wicked Twister midway section of the park. The Good Time Theatre and Turnpike Cars were demolished and removed as well in early 2015. In May 2015, interest in the new ride grew when Cedar Point trademarked the name Valravn, which in Danish folklore stands for the "raven of the slain". In early August of the same year, images showing the layout of the new roller coaster and its logo appeared in the amusement park's smartphone app. Responding to the leak, Cedar Point temporarily disabled the app on Google Play and announced that details would be revealed on August 18, 2015. However, the park decided to postpone the announcement following an incident in which a park visitor was struck and killed when entering a restricted area underneath Raptor. Visitors began to report seeing pieces of new roller coaster track being stored on park property. On September 9, 2015, Cedar Point officially unveiled plans for Valravn.
The roller coaster is based on the Dive Coaster model developed by B&M and represents the company's hundredth roller coaster installation. Its trains will be the first on this model to use an over-the-shoulder restraint system similar to the design used on Cedar Point's GateKeeper and other B&M Wing Coasters. Each train consists of three cars, each of which has a single row holding eight passengers, for a total of 24 riders per train. Construction finished as Valravn's last piece of track was put in place on March 2, 2016. Video showing the ride being tested was released in early April 2016.

Best part of the ride!

[@thedavinator37]

+HDThrillSeeker lol looks really fun. I've rode sky rush before, are they similar?

[@HDThrillSeeker]

I have never ridden sky rush before, but they don't look that similar.

[@thedavinator37]

+HDThrillSeeker yeah only the height

[@theintamindude]

+thedavinator 37 I've ridden Skyrush, haven't ridden Valravn but I've ridden both Sheikra @ BGT & Griffon @ BGW (similar to Valravn) and I tell you they are not similar by any means. Completely different in every aspect.

[@thattalldude0]

Was the line long?

[@aihazee7677]

Isn't this Sheikra from Busch Gardens? Looks the same, cool coaster though :)

[@ravensight1]

Ai Hazee no its new in cedar point.. same thing though.

[@Floppsys]

Camera?

[@KMoonster]

Valravn, clearly a direct copy of Sheikra at Busch Gardens, Tampa Bay, Florida

[@gabrielbosley9008]

KMoonster. Nope, it is a custom B&M dive coaster. Sheikra at Busch Gardens Tampa has a different layout and has been cloned.

[@KMoonster]

Gabriel Bosley but Valravn has a 45-degree chain lift hill and stops you just before the first vertical drop for about four seconds before descending down

[@MrYabber]

I went only a few days after this video it was fun and seeing the valravn dangle was funny but NOTHING compared to Millinium force

[@christopherwynn727]

Busch Gardens Williamsburg Virginia Griffon

[@Claw02]

[@HDThrillSeeker]

Hi!

[@ok-ms3ke]

Roses are red. B&M is great, but this coaster is forceless and is one I really hate.
