Help...with the Raptor.

It's a pretty easy ride.  The biggest issue for me was the G forces in the last helix.  I thought my head was going to pop.  I think that was mostly because I was nervous the first time I rode it.  Last season my daughter and I rode it five times in a row.  We were there on a slow day and just kept getting off and walking back on.  We loved it.

I say go for it.  Try not to freak out on it.  If you do, get in line and ride it again.  The second time is the charm.

Jeff-

Well IVAN, if I were you, I would never ride it. You'll probably fall out. :)

Seriously, if you closed your eyes, there's no way you'd ever know you're upside-down. The forces actually hold you in. I don't know why people will ride a coaster that's trying to throw you out but won't go upside-down. But what do I know.

I love Raptor, it inspired my screen name.  Go ahead give it a try.  Ride it once and see how you feel about it . 

If you've never tried a looping coaster before ride Corkscrew first and if you like it ,run for the green machine. 

Hooper you know it's true! :)

Personally when I am on raptor, when I go upside down I don't even notice much! It's really fun believe me.

You rode MF right? That's almost going upside down...! If your fine with that you'll love Raptor-even more! (For loops)

Technically if 122 degrees is the steepest non-inverted turn, anything past that would be inverted, right? Well MF's first turn is 126 degrees, so you already went upside down and didn't even know it! :) That's basicly how it is...the forces through inversions are about the same, but Raptor's are disorienting which is always a plus. :)
