For some reason it looks brown in pictures and video, but in person it has more of a bronze color.


I'd rather be in my boat with a drink on the rocks,

It's like a rusty...coppery...brownish. I would've loved something a bit more vibrant, but I know it'll look awesome when it's up.

not quite sure. I know when i drove by again that night the trailer was gone. As for the color. After seeing it in person it definitely has more orange/yellow undertones in it giving it a copper/bronze color. The blue is just your average blue simmilar to the Millennium Force possibly a little darker. At first i hated the name and the color after seeing it in person im in love with it! being a boater here at cedar point it really gives it a lake erie storm bird feel to it. Love this new CEO hes really opening up the beach and lake feel to it. I really hope they keep the name valraven although doubtful. Any other questions or requests let me know. I live on the boat here at cedar point so i drive by this staging area at least once a week, i plan on filming an update Saturday. Want to attempt to approach the fence/ site. There also doing work at the actual site of the coaster. If you go in the marina entrance, directly to the left theres a huge brown fence blocking the sitE Ive asked employees they claim to know nothing. They have posters showing all the current rides and theres a space for the new one. There was a crane behind thr fence one day. Almost every day u can here guys working on something once and awhile theres a bobcat back there during the weekdays. This time of year the park is pretty slow. Mostly Detroiters

Your absolutely right. My video does a little better job of showing the colors but once u see it in person you love it. How do u like the color being able to see it in person?

If you're looking at Breakers Express from the road, it's beside it on the left.
