- Its brand spankin new at the roller coaster capital of the world, and will send you down a massive vertical drop after hanging you staring down it for 4 seconds! After getting to ride it for myself this past July, I'm here to give a review on my thoughts on the ride experience!

I actually really enjoyed valravn. I don't know why a lot of coaster enthusiasts hate on the thing. It's a fun ride and that's all that matters at the end of the day.
Completely agreed. I'd give it like an 8 or an 8.5, a 7.5 is a little low. People are for some reason starting to hate on CP a LOT more ever since Taylor reviewed MF.
JAPORTY its a fun coaster we went to cedar point for the first time me and my dad said the same thing as me...this is a plain copy of sheikra I’m an 11 year old coaster enthusiast so please think before you judge.
Caleb K didn’t he still give MF a 9? 😂😂
Japorty I might agree... It was very short, for me at least. It was kinda just blobbed.
Ikr!! I love Valravn
"Hi can I sit in the front row please?"
"No, go to row six!"
"But there's only three..."
"GO TO ROW SIX!!!"
Lol
I do think dive coasters are one trick ponies, but that's the point. They aren't like other roller coasters, and they aren't to be! When done right dive coasters are incredible machines, and that can invoke so much fear. Just look at both Oblivions, Baron 1898, and Krake just to name a few. They are complete their job perfectly.
I think that Valravn doesn't deserve the hate it gets, but missed out on some of the dive coaster perks. A tunnel and evil or scary theme would have served this coaster well.
Hangtime won’t be a one trick pony
Nah dude Valravn sucks
ThemeParkSpotlight r u for real? Valravn is fuckin awesome
COASTER BOT Krake is great but way too short
ThemeParkSpotlight
These are good dive
Griffon, Sheikra, Draken is so much better(OTSR)
I LOVE this coaster!! As an experienced coaster rider Valravn is a blast it's FUN to ride. I really don't understand why everyone loves Maverick so much. Every time I get off Valravn I am grinning ear-to-ear.
Adam Latimer I love both valravn and maverick. I just don’t understand y most enthusiasts think it’s necessary to look at this coaster as pointless. To b honest, this is in my opinion the most underrated coaster on the planet
I agree that it is the most underrated coaster in the park and all around, I had an absolute blast on it
The back row is my favorite. Why? Because, when you go down the dive hills, you feel like you're yanked over them and that feeling is amazing.
The feeling of whipped over the drop is great!
Lol I’m going to cedar point and I’m am going back row so I don’t get hung over the drop cause that scares me I’m am afraid of heights!😂
Bobb-z Callahan I wanna ride Top Thrill Dragster in the back. I’ve been on it once and only in the front because it was a slow day. I really wanna try the back next time
I love it. I rode it twice with the fast pass and the worker gave me row 3 both times
+Jestro “KC Clan” ayy, worlds of fun
If you love it in third row (which in my opinion sucks) you'd LOVE it in front row.
+Jestro “KC Clan” yes
At least they can't send you to row 6
They can but they'll be in a lot of legal trouble for trying to put a guest behind the ride while in motion
+Coaster Meister lol XD
what is the joke with row 6 can someone explain?
+Metal Coasters coaster studios was put in row 6 on the joker and people started making memes about it
+Metal Coasters Watch his live stream video from 1h 20mins to 1h 30 mins
I'm early, here's a joke:
Great Escape getting a new coaster
.......
xD
Funny,( 3 days Later Announces a 4-D Freefly)
xD
well even a vekoma SLC would finally get Great Escape a new coaster since the last coaster was in 2005 and also that the Great Escape currently doesn't have a invert
The floater airtime in the front row right side was fantastic, and the view of lake Eerie from the top is sublime. My expectations were low but this ride blew me away
I loved this ride. It was my first dive coaster. That first drop is insane
This was my first dive coaster and I loved it. Those restraints were restrictive but this is the 3rd best coaster their
the best seat on this ride is front row on the very end on either side. it is amazing. you are sitting off the track and you are just out there like you are flying. it's an awesome feeling
Hey, at least with that ride you can't be in row 6
Indeed
Yess!
Save Row 6
Best ride literally ever every time I go on it I always get front row and my adrenaline goes up soo big 😂🤩
In the back row the drop felt insane! I love this ride
I was actually able to pick my own seat on Valravn. I requested front row and got it! Although I think some employees won't let you...
I loved Valravn one of my favorite rides at Cedar Point
I love all the effort you put in each one of your videos :) I 100% agree with your opinion on this coaster!
Thank you!
+Coaster Studios I wish I could meet you in person. I also wish my channel is as good as your channel. You're 90 times better than me and Hayden!
Valravn is the most underrated roller coaster I have every ridden. It gives airtime to.
I’m going on it for my first time in a couple of weeks maybe next weekend and I’m so scared lol
They don't let you pick your seats at cedar point? do they send you to row 6?
they do just not on valravn
They do on most rides, but the more popular ones have a sign saying "Due to the popularity of this ride, you may have seat assignments" (They have the sign for Rougarou too thou but nobody really rides that)
I was a single rider and they let me pick. I think it has to do with demand. It was a slow day with a 45 min wait for Valravn so that probably why.
I didn't have that in KD. I could pick my seat (Intimidator 305 backseat rides baby) and they wouldn't complain.
BillyTheSnake No just that ride that year because so many people when on it. every other coaster you choose your own seat
I love your vids keep it up man all I see in you is
SUCCESS
I talked to an employee at the cedar point express hotel (who seemed like he knew what he was talking about) and his description of valravn was it suffers from new B&M syndrome where it's so smooth it feels forceless
But I got a first ride of the day front row seat so that was a cool enough experience (second day in a row after I got that on raging bull the day before)
It is a slow smooth coaster like gatekeeper. The thing that makes this my top favorite is the gorgeous view of the lake.
I went on all rows and thought it was extremely fun!
I think six flags magic mountain should get a dive coaster if they take out viper
Viper is the last of its kind I hope they keep it around fun intense ride
I love your videos my health doesn't let me ride coasters so I'll just take your word for it and I loved your analysis of Mystic Timbers l
Yes. Thanks for this vid. Could u do top 10 roller coaster types, such as hybrid,wooden, hyper, stand up, floor less, invert
My friends constantly say “omg the valravn is soooo dangerous it literally gets stuck every time at the top before it goes STRAIGHT DOWN and people just fall out”
The last time I went to Cedar Point was before Valravn and even Rougarou, and I wasn't tall enough to go on Mantis or Raptor. Hopefully I'm going this year.
I rode this coaster twice! It was super fun! :)
I loved VALRAVN...It's very enjoyable,...Thrilling (Dive), smooth, that roll at the end is an amazing feeling, I got airtime. I dunno...I thought it was a fantastic.
I honestly loved it. 5th favorite in the park.
I went on this and had my eyes shut for the lift hill and the drop. It was really fun and the inversions were cool!
am i the only person who thinks dive coasters aren't just one trick ponies?
That doesn’t make them any less awesome. I think people really underestimate valravn
Caleb Reese I know I waited 2 hours and 45 min and it is one of my favorite coasters in was insanely awesome!!
You are not the only one in my state I live in kc and we haven’t gotten in a roller coaster in 10 years also we don’t have a multi launch
Supreme Max my opinion is it’s not worth 2 hours compared to steel vengeance which I’d wait 3 hours in line for
What are the other tricks tho?
I love this coaster in the front row It's also my #5 coaster a Cedar Point
Great review! To me, Valravn looks pretty sick in my opjnion. Gonna ride it this month! :)
I personally LOVE this ride, I had fast passes when I rode it so I didn't deal with the line, and front row is the best!
Taylor you're right, they don't let you pick your row on Valravn, or even wait for a row. Weird considering that they let you do that on every other coaster in the park. When I rode it, my group and I requested to wait for front row and we were still told to go to row 2
The first Dive coaster was Oblivion at Alton Towers. What was impressive was it dived into a hole. I think if a dive coaster is gonna dive, then dive it into something, make it do what most coasters don’t do which is DIVE into something.
Cedar point does not put a wow factor in any coaster like a tunnel, Ravine (you can make a Ravine. All Ravines are not natural) or a water splash down.
It’s all about the thrill not the theming tunnels mainly add to theme not so much thrill
when i rode it i experienced alot of airtime. also if you ask the staff you can choose your row. it may have been because i went on a good week where the line on valravn was like 20 minutes and everything else had like 5 minute lines
Love the ride, love the park.
Rode it for the second time this past weekend, and I must say I was pleasantly surprised. First time I rode it I was part of the GP, then when I became an enthusiast I spent much of the past year reading and watching about how overrated this was. As such, I was surprised how much I liked it. Granted, I haven't ridden the other dive coasters, but this surprised me. Great feeling on the drop, amazing weightless feeling on the zero g-roll, and actual ejector on the airtime hill! Short, yes, but I found it enjoyable. It is a cookie cutter ride with redundant elements, and probably shouldn't have gone to CP, but I still underestimated how much I would like it.
Taylor before you do your X2 review, you sat in the outer seats, now that makes a big difference. On the inner seats you get less of that banging, and it is much more enjoyable and actually adds up to the intensity, so before you make the review, understand that it is also possible to get a really good ride on it. Its just like skyrush. Its either amazing or average.
I got a 45 minute wait on Valravn, so I got one of the shortest lines on it (for this year, lines should start to go down for next year). The problem with it was that I was put in the back row, so it wasn't nearly as good as the front row would be, but it was still a decent ride.
Great Review, only thing I would contest is that the drop feels like the other dive coasters... personally I really was shocked how much more force Valraven's drop seemed to have than Griffon, which I also rode this year.
I've never been on a dive coaster, so I don't get just what's so great about them?? I mean do the drops feel really different than a normal drop? Bc I would've much rather seen a flyer or something go in instead of this.
as for the restrains, just dont let them push the restrains so thight! just sit more in front of your seat when closing it. when you are leaving the station you can sit normal and you have enough space for air-time. i do this all the time and it really gives you alot more airtime!
You want to try Oblvion at Alton Towers in the UK. It is bad all you get is a 60ft drop strait down then it disappears underground for ten seconds then after a banking curve strait into the brake run, the ride lasts 30 seconds. All that after a two hour line der.
Andrew Burton-Fullick are you joking? Oblivion was the very first dive coaster, so it won't have any extra elements and oblivion has a drop of 150+ feet! The tunnel is there for a reason, Alton towers has a height restriction
Honestly if Valravn had over the shoulder restraints like Griffon I would want to ride it more, I love airtime so that's a plus that Griffon has over Valravn
griffon has a mid course brake run right behind the drop, doesn't it?
When I was at Cedar Point I was in the regular line and I requested front and they said yes.
Do you know the time wait for fast pass?
can you do a restraints comparison in the stype of coater fights with different catigories
The valraven was very enjoyable but I can't say that I would recommend riding it twice in one trip to cedar point because the line is usually very long.😁😁
I rode this is the front and back. Force-wise, the back was pretty similar to the front. I didn't notice a significant difference like you feel on rides like Maverick. The front is still the best seat on this ride for that view on the first drop, though.
Can you do an actual review of raptor at cedar point please?
The drop and view is better in the front but, it i pretty forceful in the back
I think Valravn is a very fun ride, the vests dont really hurt the weightless feeling too much. The drop is incredible and the 270 degree roll is amazing!(BTW, they let you choose your own seat now
What about for someone who has never ridden a dive coaster how is it?
It's not my favorite coaster but I still love it and enjoy it. Very smooth too.
Good review. I am going to ride this coaster in a few days. To me, the coaster looks cool though but i agree about the themeing.
+Coaster studios yesterday I rode valravn. in my opinion valravn is the best coaster I have ever been on. the first drop is insane. I sat on the second row middle seat. the inversions are intense the ride is smooth.
Splash Waterfalls at Six Flags New England is removing on 9-5-16 so can you make a video on that
In your Valravn review you give it a score of 7.5 but now that you said you don't really like it what score would you give it?
Taylor, I see what you mean about Valravan being a one trick pony. From a rider or enthusiast stand point, they probably should have added something else. But, I have to say the way they integrated the coaster into the park with a walkway right under the main drop is really cool. My wife would not ride but loved that she could get so close and see people flipping out. I am guessing Cedar Point takes non riders into account when picking a new ride and from a business standpoint it kinda makes sense. Another great example would be the bleachers at TTD, such a cool area for people to watch.
You're absolutely right- the area around Valravn looks magnificent!
i rode valravn and it was rly fun. but they do assign you a row in the regular but i was in the regular row and we requested front row and they let us.
Rode it yesterday for the first time. Was in front row right corner. I was underwhelmed. The drop wasn't as exciting as I thought it would be. Most of the rest of the elements were fun but nothing that left an impression. I didn't do it a second time . Elected to hit MF 5 times and Steel Vengeance twice.
I've already rode it 6 times and it is an amazing ride especially front row
In my opinion this ride is not worth the wait. It is honestly kind of boring. It's also stupid that you could wait 3 hours just to sit in the middle or the back.
I had fast pass so it was like a 5 minute wait
im getting fast lane if we go to ceder point
+Funny Moments and Videos I agree. Carowinds is the same. I waited 2 hours for fury 325 only for the staff to put me in the very middle of the train.
Can you make a video that highlights the difference between types of inversions? I watch a lot o your videos and I still can barely tell the difference.
Sheikra is still my favorite Dive Coaster :)
I love griffen is it worth riding it?
i think this is a good coaster considering it was a filler coaster for Yukon striker at CW
I love this ride 💙💙
The ride is a shortened version of the gatekeeper😂 It's ok but don't wait more than 30 mins for it just ride the gatekeeper instead the lines usually shorter
I got just a little bit of floater airtime on that airtime hill but not much
I personally liked Valravn since it is the only dive coaster I've ridden. So I placed it in probably #3 for favorite rides at CP. (I'm not GP FYI)LOL
I actually like the mini dive coasters like baron1898 and oblivion the black hole. They feel nearly like full coasters and they are good themed.
I heard the vest restraints are tight.
Just so you know, you actually can request a row Evernote if you aren't fastpass. Cedar Fair usually doesn't strictly assign rows, if thy even assign hen.
I thought that it was very good and super comfortable. I love it. I don’t really care about what people say about it. I think it’s great.
Is it me or the mid course drop on Griffin seems steeper.
Their last ground up coaster, and man are they due. I think this coaster made sense because it's a people eater and a generally reliable B&M. (Not for operating year 2022)
Hoping their next ground up coaster pushes the envelope like almost every coaster built there from 2000-2007
Great Ride
Wait so Cedar Fair still has the record of most inversions on a dive coaster with Hangtime at Knotts Berry Farm
Coaster studios do you like your joy scream?
My most favorite element on valravn is the dive loop.
Going to Carowinds in 2 days, need any photos?
Is there hang-time on the 3rd inversion?
yes
I have a question? Is Michigans Adventure or Great Escape more neglected?
I would say Michigan's Adventure.
Michigan's Adventure, because Great Escape ACTUALLY gets new rides.
I sat in back row twice (and front once) and the hold in the front is pretty awesome, but in the back it's like jumping off a building! You pull down very quick on the top, and I prefer the back on most good CP coasters, especially Maverick and Millennium Force. Do you agree?
*back, far side edge on Valravn
I like the back on all coasters anywhere.
I picked my row when I rode it
My only real issue with Valravn are the vest restraints. I'm 6'2 so they were crushing my collar bone. It hurt so bad. Same thing with Gatekeeper, but not as bad.
Craig Zorzy I’m 6’4” and I didn’t have a problem with the restraints at all
To b honest this ride is extremely underrated by enthusiasts. They don’t give it the credit it deserves
Hi Taylor. I just found out that Six Flags are adding Virtual Reality to the Demon. They were about to add it to Raging Bull, but they cancelled it. 😞 What do you think of this addition?
Made the trip to Cedar Point and the only two coasters I didn’t make it on was Millenium Force, Valravn, and Maverick.... I know I know I flew all the way from Los Angeles and didn’t get on these. I was very upset...one of them was 2 hours long and broke down at the end of the night (maverick) and valravn had a HUUUUUUUUGE line and I really wanted to go one everything else. I think millenium had a stupid long line too :(
If you love themed roller coasters, go visit Efteling in the Netherlands!
Heres a question i've always had:
Are dive coaster tracks bigger in width than standard b&m track?
I would assume so given the size of the cars, but the track for standard B&M inverts is already so huge I can't even imagine it being much bigger.
Canada Absolutely. Valravn's track is massively wide (6.5 feet).
Hi Taylor, I'm going to Dorney park and Hershey park in the near future, need any footage?
I don't think so, but any photos you take are welcome!
I rode it in the middle row and I did not think it sucked I thought it was awesome. Actually that first drop made my back hurt did it make yours hurt Taylor
I think that Valravn is a good ride, but with getting a floor less coaster just last year. I think that a B&M flyer would’ve been better, or even a GCI woodie. I still like it though and it’s my sixth favorite coaster
