PKI Jizzman Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Looks great! The lighting is pretty damn cool. Hoping to ride my first vertical drop coaster this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 That really looks amazing. I can't wait until my first visit this season. It's going to be so cool walking by that incredible looking structure on my way to Millennium Force first thing in the morning. I have some pictures up from today Here! Excellent shots!

thrilladdict Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 I have to agree that the vest restraint takes away any feeling of plummeting or falling that is present on Sheikra and Griffon... meh. Great ride, annoyingly restrictive restraint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thrillrider Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Personally, I have no issues with the new restraints. Can't wait to spend this entire weekend at the park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Invertalon Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 One cool "feature" is the amount of sway the structure has at the top of the lift and MCBR. You feel it sway side to side while on it when you are at the holding brake and slow down on the mid course. Again, the ride is very smooth and I didn't notice any rattle personally. Front seat of course is best, but backseat has some fantastic pops of air on the drops. As far as the better side, so far of my five rides, always have been seated on the left. Hope to get a few right side seats to compare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philrad71 Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Valravn looks like another great addition - can't wait to ride it. Although I think that we'll wait a couple of weeks and try to hit up the park in early June (during the week) in hopes to avoid large crowds. Looks like this weekend is going to be decent weather-wise other than a chance of PM storms on Saturday - I assume the park will be quite busy. Another reason we are going to wait a few more weeks to go.... I don't want to miss this event! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluestreak Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 At the park now... Valravn is fantastic. Extremely smooth as expected, the g-roll is a highlight for sure as Tony has claimed. The views are unreal from the two taller portions of the ride. I personally am not a huge fan of the restraints as they feel more restrictive on this type of coaster, for me at least (6'6" tall). I feel like I got more airtime on the drops on Sheikra with the classic OTSR's. Loading is cool... There is a TV screen that displays interval for the crew and visual reference for which seats are locked and ready to go. No doubt that the crews will be flying on this ride! The ride area is beautiful. It also looks like Raptor got some new lighting/strobes under the cobra roll. I have some pictures up from today Here! So what was the queue line secret and what the hell is that structure after the dive loop??!?!???! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philrad71 Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 ^ To add to that...you know Guy and most everyone else wants to know where the damned strippers are??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coaster Curt Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Where does the Fast Lane Line come into the regular line? Does it actually make it into the station before merging? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Invertalon Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Fastlane goes right to the station, like Fury/Banshee. No merge until that point. Queue line secret sounds fun, but I can't say anything right now. Still under wraps. Sounds like an awesome concept, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Invertalon Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 As of now the building after the dive loop is just a observation area for people to watch. They are still working on it, so maybe there will be more once complete. Lots of LED lights in the queue area, but not used this morning (not ready?). I expected it will be real nice when done!

thrillrider Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 They had the line all lit up with different colors of light last night on the Webcam . Kinda like banshee's lights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DorneyKid14 Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 How were the boats? Where there a lot of them out today? Why is everyone talking about the Valravn? Cp is known for their boats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrillrider Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 I hear that chickie and Pete's has expanded as well. Anybody know what that building next to the hair wrap booth is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Most importantly DOES IT RATTLE????? This is very important information. Enquiring minds need to know immediately. But seriously, folks, I think the Dive Coaster is the best thing that B&M makes--and this one looks good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoinItForTheFame Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 The POV looks amazing. Having just ridden griffon this weekend, I'm super pumped for Valravn. Can't wait for our trip to the park this summer!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
