Raptor is an inverted roller coaster designed by Bolliger & Mabillard at Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio, United States.

"[5] Construction started after the 1993 season with the site clearing of the Mill Race log flume water ride.

The Midway Carousel and Calypso were relocated in October to other areas of the park to make room for Raptor.

Final preparations were made in March with the entrance plaza being built and 85,000 square feet (7,900 m2) of midway replaced.

The ride travels over the pathway to Blue Streak then passes by the Cadillac Cars and Cedar Downs Racing Derby.

At the top, the train dips slightly into the pre-drop before turning 90 degrees to the left as it drops 119 feet (36 m) down the first hill.

After the cobra roll, the train makes a slight right turn followed by an upward left-hand helix and enters the mid-course brake run.

The track straightens briefly again before turning to the right and entering a short dip before taking riders into the second flat spin.

The ride finishes with a 1.5 revolution flat helix where riders encounter strong positive G-forces before making one last left turn into the final brake run and back into the station.

Raptor was repainted for the 2002 season and the rails were painted dark green, matching the supports.
