Valravn Goes Vertical--Construction Starts

If you have a social media account, you can upload it there, right click and select copy image address. Then paste the image address here (after you click the tab that lets you add an image).

Looks like they allow re-rides.

If you look closely, especially around the area where grass will grow soon, you can see there are lights everywhere. This thing, in fact, will be lit up like a christmas tree!

They also planted some trees lately! Yes!!

FYI, Valravn is testing on the live webcam. Three train operation as well.

Dang, I missed the live testing. I noticed that it looks like greenery was added to the wall under the dive... moss/vines?

I'm honestly more curious about that wall than I am about the queue surprise.

Looks like we'll get a glimpse of how well lit Valravn will be tonight! (Finger crossed)

I think they are still gaming us on getting those lights just how they will eventually be but it is looking very cool.

Watching Valravn test right now but the live Webcam is not showing it.

It's on a 30 second delay. They are working on the 3 train rotations.

::nerd out::

Very cool!

This might have been answered already, but is an you go to the Valravn premier weekend and get into the park with your 2016 pass, or is it a separate event since technically opening weekend is the following week.

Season passes are valid that weekend. Only events they are not valid for is Ohio State Day and the First Rider Event.

Ohio State Day (Friday 5/6) during the day, however you can use your season pass to get into the park at 7:00pm that day for Passholder Preview Night.

Thanks! That's what I thought.

Another question, are those yellowish light things seen on the webcam lights for the ride? I'm not quite sure I understand how those will work. I'm imagining strobe lights when functioning but that seems odd.

Which lights are you referring to? The ones on the ground by the 2nd half or something else? The only "strobing" light (if that's what you're referring to) is the beacon light at the top of the lift.

Strange sight on the live webcam this afternoon. I managed to catch 2 trains stopped at the top of the lift. One was stopped just after the lift hill, and one was stopped before the holding brake just after the turn. I know other dive coasters can do this as well, but it was strange to me as I've never seen it actually happen. Pretty cool how dive coasters can do that though!

Someone was kind enough to post on youtube a video capture of the webcam from yesterday evening. They were pretty consistently dispatching around 80-85 seconds. Knowing B&M, that will optimally drop 20 seconds to get the desired peak of 1200 pph.

Have they listed a ride duration time yet?

During the day, they appear like yellow lights. They're mostly underneath the air time hill and bottom of the first dive. Looking at it right now they just look like standard lights but I thought people were mentioning something about strobes or another unique lighting feature
