Tried to get a better picture, but look at the twistiness!!

I think this coaster looks very good. When this coaster opens, there will be a BOATload of people talking about the ride on the interNET. So sad I live so far away.

 

still waiting for the boat to come back... #boatlivesmatter

At some point, I think we need to face that the boat had come to a tragic end to its life if it doesn't come back soon.

Noooooooo don't say such horrible words!

. . . It's MASSIVE yet it gives zero airtime or positive G's.

 

Sooooo basically the same thing as most new B&M coasters??? (According to how most enthusiast think)

[blakelemay23]

There is so much mystery behind this ride and I love it.

 

Nobody knows how it's going to ride, how its going to look in the summer season, how it will change the feel of the surrounding area.

 

I just can't wait to see the finished product.

I'm not psychic or anything... but I bet it's going to look something like this:

 

 

.... Just with a few more people on the midways.

Pictures rarely give you a good sense of size of something. They often give a scale of size, but you can't truly appreciate the size of large objects until you see them with your own eyes. Valravn in person, especially from the marina entrance, will look absolutely massive.

Guys, I believe RMC will actually be working on a project in the park, but it won't be Mean Streak, they are just making a T-Rex-Horse-Box Boat

Yeah, because that is exactly what I meant.....

[coasterbill]

We all know what you meant and it's a good point, but his post was still funny. Lol

[DoinItForTheFame]

Just in case anyone has missed it, there have been two new pieces of track headed into the MCBR lifted into place.

[CoasterMateo]

They will probably place some more track, they still have loads of time!

[TBpony414]

The coaster is looking great! I love the webcams and those of you who post screen shots for people like me who sporadically check in on TPR. I have no doubt that this will be a fun ride. Griffon is a ton of fun. Yes it's short. Doesn't matter - it's one more ride in the park and for that I'm happy with it! I will enjoy taking a few laps in between Maverick, Skyhawk and MF

 

I've only been to CP once in the last 15 years and there used to be a fun antique car ride with a covered bridge in that area... Was that taken out for Valravn? Looks like it but maybe I'm getting my ride placement mixed up.

Gotcha, im bad at detecting sarcasm.

 

Can't wait to see this thing testing!

From my understanding it's still there. If you look in the screenshots posted from the webcam you can still see the concrete "track" for the car ride. Look near the base of the first Inversion of Valravn and you should be able to see it!

[Password121]

There had been two in the area. One was removed, but the other remains. There is also another still located in Frontiertown.

[CoasterLine]

The "lesser known" by the GP car ride "Turnpike Cars" was removed (which is where Valravn's station is now). "Cadillac Cars" still exists and will be there for 2016.
