One of my favorite rides of all time. I rode this the year it opened and still continue to love it
I absolutely love raptor. It was my first inverted coaster ever, at 10 yrs old so it holds a special place in my heart. The last time i rode it when i was 15 it was still a smooth ride, but i haven’t rode in 8 years. Maybe its rougher now
Raptor has been kicking a$$ since it's debut. I remember riding it at 10 years old in 1994 and stumbling off in amazement. My love for roller coasters started with the Wild Cat and the Iron Dragon (I was in elementary school) then growing into the Gemini, Magnum and Raptor coasters got me hooked for life.
That helix is insane. Best part of the ride in my opinion.
Funny Moments and Videos the feeling you get in your feet is actually insane
CallMeMyth for me helix is too tight
There's an exact clone of raptor in Japan that doesn't have the MCBR, imagine how powerful that helix is
At the helix My friend yells this is my favorite part every time, we just got a front seat ride, awesome.
you aint never lied. the force of g's i felt on a helix. i love it
this coaster has allot of meaning to me. its my dads all time favorite coaster and he cant ride them any more due to heart problems. he also loves to talk about how smooth this ride is. he did complain about his ear rings the first time he road the ride but after removing them life was good!
I'm glad I'm not the only one that actually enjoys raptor. Heck, I think it's easily top 5 at Cedar Point!
This is the first ever roller coaster I rode!! It was really fun, and I think that it was a great ride! Left quite good memories, and I like roller coasters!!! I Always had a fear, but it's super smooth and awesome!
I've never had a bad ride on raptor. It's always a must ride when we visit Cedar Point.
Did you pass out?
I love the Raptor..
This rides amazing..
I never had a rough ride ..❤❤
I went to CP for the first time ever on Sunday, and rode this not expecting that violent ending into the final break run, and that honestly was pretty brutal. Almost felt like a car crash, lmao. Overall great coaster though, enjoyed it a ton. Rode it in the back row too, so I couldn't see anything coming, and I loved it.
When I first started going to Cedar Point, this thing scared me to no end. I didn't like the noise, and it just seemed way too intense. After riding it more and more, I've grown to love it. This thing is easily one of the most intense and forceful roller coasters at Cedar Point, and like you said, if you keep your head forward it completely eliminates the head banging. When they repainted it, I just gained a whole new appreciation for it. Easily one of the best (and probably more underrated) coasters at the park.
This coaster is a HUGELY underrated Invert. Sure, there's a bit of jerkiness. But the drop is great fun, and the forces are definitely there.
THIS IS MY PERSONAL FAVORITE COASTER.
In the late 1990s I was too short to ride this and it was THE ride to be on. I’ll never forget that feeling of “ one day I’ll be old enough to ride the baddest ride at cedar point “
One of my school friends threw up when they were rolling into the station, poor guy had vomit on him and had to borrow clothes from the first aid and they washed them for him. Luckily he wasn’t embarrassed about it
Dude that abrupt jerk as it hits the brakes is one of the best elements.
For being one of the very first B&M inverted coasters, built back in 1994, this is an awesome ride :) Even after 23 years, Raptor is one of my favourite inverted coasters ever. Keeps the intensity, and powers through all those awesome inversions :) B&M did a great job with this ride, I'll say that :)
Just rode this for the first time a couple weeks ago. Really enjoyed it. My new favorite invert.
That snap into the break run took me by surprise, my god its comes from nowhere!
I want to ride this! I live an hour and half away from cedar point, I just moved!
I think it is still one of the best and more thrilling coasters in the park. It has aged very well.
This is just behind Maverick and steel vengeance.
1: Steel vengeance
2: Maverick
3: Raptor
4: Melineum force
5: Gatekeeper
I love the way the corkscrews whip you around so fast.
I love raptor so much!!!
This was my first B&m invert coaster. I really enjoyed it. Very fast and yes, definitely a gray out at the helix.
In the summer of 2018, it was my 9th time riding Raptor and let me just say, I came off this ride speechless because I was blacking out for the majority of the ride, due to it's nonstop intensity. This ride is so intense it even out does Steel Vengeance !!!! Definitely my #1 ride.
I'm a huge fan of raptor and the inversions there are two inversions that i like about this ride the cobra roll and the corkscrew.
this is probably my favorite invert ever.
people actually say this is rough? it runs like new to me. incredibly smooth.
Mr.Bateman It's be a tad rattley this season but still smooth. i think its the transition into the mcbr that puts people off.
4 year old comment but I just rode it Monday and Tuesday of this week and it wasn't rough at ALL. You know enthusiasts and wanting to point out the slightest rattle that doesn't affect your experience at all haha
It’s a great ride for sure.
I still remember being scared to ride this as a kid, and once i did for the first time it's been one of my favorites at cedar point ever since, its a classic!
I love it this coaster. It can be a tiny bit rough but still enjoyable. Especially at the end in the double helix. Those G's just pulls you deep into your seat, but no graying out with me.
Raptor is my third favorite behind maverick and steel vengeance!
I personally like Raptor and it's layout is amazing but it can be rough and jerky sometimes but it is pretty smooth overall if you get a good ride on it
*One of my favorite coasters ever!*
Afterburn is by far the best b&m invert I've been on. Also its in my home park so I can ride it whenever I want. During that ride, you don't have to keep your head forward, as its not very rough.
Favorite roller coaster ever.
Raptor is the first invert I've ridden, and I loved it.
I love the double helix at the end. The G-force at the ending is amazing
Love this ride. After only riding slcs this thing was way smoother than expected
I was there a few Friday nights in late August and they ran 3 trains all night with with no wait. Very classy CP, most parks would have parked a train.
This is my all time favorite ride.
It was my faforite overall when I went in 2012, I went again June this real and really felt I missed out not getting on again, but I was extremely tired that day from nightmares the night before, and depression picked then to prod at me on top of that. It took me til I was 23 to ever get on a coaster for some reason, but I been bit by the bug and coasters like this keep me hooked and give me a ride to look forward to always.
Hi Taylor. You me are in the same boat. I also have no complaints about Raptor at Cedar Point. Other than the ending, this is my third favorite B&M invert.
Let me start off with the disclaimer that Raptor is my favorite ride in the park.
And it has been my favorite for its entire 23-year life. Heck, I had a CP promotional calendar-poster that featured the ride on the wall of my bedroom even *before* I had ever ridden it (my uncle worked for the print shop that printed them up before its opening season, and he got to take some)
Anyway, because CP is my home park (half hour away), I have ridden this coaster at *least* once per year for over two decades (most years I ride it more than once, of course, but because there have been a handful of years that I didn't get a chance to go to the park, I guess it averages out to once or twice per year...)
So, all of this is to say; I speak from experience.
When she was younger, she was super smooth, but the ride is definitely showing her years. It is noticeably rougher now than it used to be. However, I would not call it a rough ride. It's nowhere near as bad as Mantis/Rougarou (I don't like either incarnation), and aside from that final hard snap into the pre-station brake run, it never bangs my head around. (though I do tend to naturally ride it with my head forward, and not resting against the seat)
That final stop, though, *is* fairly harsh. I swear it also used to be much smoother/gentler, instead of the slam it is today, but maybe that's the rose-colored glasses of nostalgia having an effect.
I think that negative impressions of the ride might be coming from people who are used to riding newer steel coasters that haven't lost their smoothness (for other B&M examples from the park, Gatekeeper and Valravn are both still ultra-smooth, but once they have a decade or two on them, they'll probably be just as "rough" as Raptor)
All in all, I say she's a fantastic ride. Not as nice as she used to be, but still a great coaster!
We were so lucky. We only had half a day to go to CP, and I’m 10 hours away, but it was 115 degrees outside so nobody was there so the only rides with lines longer than fifteen minutes were TTD, Valravn, and steel vengeance.
Absolutely love Raptor. 9/10 ride, number 3 at the park.
I think we this inverted coatse r IS VERY UNDERATTED it has the forces and the drop is awesome and aged well!
I totally agree going into the brake run, I even kept my head forward. Afterburn is definitely #1
Never ridden raptor bc it was down and/or had a long wait the whole time I was there but Banshee is at my home park and I love it!
Thanks for the tip! I will keep that in mind for further b & m inverts.
Finally rode this on 9/14/19 on my second trip to Cedar Point. I thought it was a great ride, loved the intensity of that double helix. HATED the transition into the brake run, that just flat out hurt. But, the rest of the ride is solid and a lot of fun, and I will be riding it again when I go back.
Raptor is a big green mean machine and Shrek is the big green meme machine.

Love Raptor, and I pretty much agree with everything you said. Haven't ridden it since 2014 though.
This used to be my favorite B&M invert until . . . a few days ago I went to Busch Gardens Tampa and rode Montu.
We want to get on this really bad!
Was just there. Very good. It might have been me but I got a lot of headbanging going into the final brake run
Raptor is badass. 3rd fav ride at cedar point
My favorite B&M invert!
Raptor is my number 3 Coaster. Only behind Fury and Lightning Rod. So I agree with Taylor completely.
This is my favorite coaster
first time I ever rode Raptor, I had a hangover from drinking the night before and I did experience a lot of head banging. Every other ride I had on it was fine because I wasn't hung over. it's a fun ride.
I liked everything about this ride.
The last time I went to CP, Raptor had NO LINE, and we walked right in. It was like, a two minute wait! Why, Raptor is such a good ride!
I just ridden this ride today I love the cobra roll element it it was forceful I called it epic
The only “head banging” part about this amazing ride is the end 😫
One of my favorite coasters at cedar point!I like the helix in the end of the ride!I went to cedar point the same day as you taylor in July of 2016, but I couldn't find you!
Nothing beats an old school B&M.
I am actually glad I did the ride last on Tueday on our first day at Cedar Point. Cause after I rode ith with my brother, I felt super dizzy.
One of my favorites too.
I love raptor I think it's one of the best B&M inverts!
Love raptor always have!
lol keep your head forward and your fine. Its def a head banger for most. I'm 6ft 4 and have no issue keeping my head back with no banging.
Back seat is my favorite on this. I overall like this coaster
Rougarou (i think) is underrated tbh
Ikr, Rougarou is great. There is just better rides in the park. Its pretty smooth, especially compared to MagnumXL200 or Cedar Creek Mine Ride.
Smoother now it's a floorless
@@SawyerQuinn i rode cedar creek yesterday because I wanted to check it out and I think it was pretty fun! I’ve only rode 5 coasters at cedar point and it’s number 4 for me
I love rougarou, never found it rough
Montu is my favorite invert hands down
I love Raptor. I've ridden it fifty times in the 4 visits I have been riding it. I have NEVER gotten headbanging. I can keep my head back and still not bang my head. I don't find it rough at all. 10/10, top 5 coasters. I gray out every time.
probably most comfortable invert I've been on. I do want to try banshee though
Sweet! I'm looking forward to riding it this year.
Raptor is my #1 B&M invert!! Afterburn is 2 for me
Raptor is one of my favorite rollercoasters,
Raptor intensity depends on the strength of its break run. I was (un)fortunate enough to once get a break-less second half and it was a completely different beast. Legs felt like they were about to explode, head-banging (especially on the station entry) was present too. The other 20 or so times I've ridden it, I've not experienced that.
Love Raptor. Planning on getting a bunch of rides on it this summer as I will be working at Sky Ride :)
Finally, another review!😁
got arrow like head banging on this thing this weekend..
3:33 They don't have the "Raptor Smack" on Monster at Walygator Parc because they smoothed it out and because they didn't install the brakes on the MCBR that end helix is really intense.
I grey out in the double helix every time. It's the most intense part of the ride. Great drop too for an invert.
Gonna give it another chance!
1:51 I think the same with Furius Baco. (At Port Aventura, Spain)
I really like this ride! I rode it in the evening in the back row and I kept my head forward and I didn't get any head banging. I did get a tiny bit of head tapping, but that was it. Although, my sister rode raptor and she didn't like it because of the headbanging I keep telling her to keep her head forward, but she just won't ride anything with over the shoulder restraints :( and she also had a bad experience on Rougarou and she said that it banged her head around a lot. I didn't get to ride Rougarou because something happened with me that I don't want to talk about. Then after Raptor, the group leader split is off into groups with other adult leaders. I went with a guy named Ben McKinney who to his group to Millennium Force and it was a blast at night and surprisingly, they let us back on and I rode it at dark. Millennium Force is my favorite rollercoaster, I found Maverick overrated because I had very high expectations because of the people loving it so much and I was left disappointed by it.
Banshee vs Raptor, also great video, I love all of your reviews!
My favorite ride.
Banshee is still one of my most favorite rides.
I relaxed for a moment and got a concussion that lasted the rest of the day! Still my #2 ride at CP after Maverick.
karthurhyer if it was a concussion it would last for days or weeks.
I lean my head forward and I told my family to but they didn't and they were not a big fan of Afterburner. I loved it!!!! But I have not been on Raptor sooooo....
I love Katun at Mirabilandia in Italy, which I presume is just bigger smooth version of this, maybe my favorite coaster in Europe... or at least very high on the list.
I've only ridden three B&M inverts: Banshee, Afterburn and Raptor and I've heard that those are three of the best out there
Raptor is the only other B&M invert I rode. Rode three B:TR clones. I agree with you that Raptor doesn't let up, and that helix is intense as hell. I need to get my ass out and ride Banshee, Alpengiest, Afterburn, Talon, Montu, and many other B&M inverts out there.
Montu is my favorite roller coaster ever
I remember going to cedar point when I was 7, and the first thing I heard was the scream of raptor
