Raptor Promotional (Promo) Video [1993] (Cedar Point)

"There goes the floor, you're out the door - enjoy your ride on Raptor!" Kick the Sky on the park's inverted beast, Raptor.
Raptor is one of the tallest and fastest inverted coasters in the world, featuring six head-over-heels inversions. Fly below the steel track with your feet dangling as you ride this bird of prey.

"This will dominate the skyline at the front of the park"
*Builds Gatekeeper

[@tyler999]

Austin Cauley yeah It dominated the front of the park for many many years 😂

[@ginaginagina.]

OOF

[@Houtarou_Hyouka_Unforgiven]

Nice meme

[@Vortex-ti6dt]

Even at the time, disaster transport did that, and not in a good way 😂

[@TommonSensePro]

@@tyler999 The guy in the video said "forever." Which is clearly not the case.

[@StormChasersofOhio]

oh my god, the penninsula looks so blank back then!

[@benhatto]

It's funny to see CP without its iconic rides... Gatekeeper, Valravn, Millennium Force, TTD, and many others did not exist when this was made.

[@ClaySilvia]

Ben Dell i dunno if I'd call Valravn iconic...

[@stephanielane3165]

who cares

[@michaelsaunders1400]

It's uncanny, ain't it?

[@hfreddy127]

Yeah. My dad told me that Gemini and Magnum were the stars of the park.

[@SuperFlashDriver]

Remember, this was 30 years ago. The only one that was dominate at the time was Power Tower, Mean Streak, and Magnum XL-200. But yeah, after Raptor, pretty much Cedar Point for the next ten years would go full on crazy with top thrilling roller coasters up until Top Thrill Dragster was their last one, as when Maverick came along, it went from being the tallest, fastest, steepest roller coasters, to now roller coasters made for those whom wanted to see a variety of roller coasters in the park. So yeah, things change within a 30 years period.

"It will virtually dominate the skyline forever at the front of the park"
Gatekeeper: Are you sure about that?

[@cedarpointenthusiast]

That animation looks like something out of a wii game, I love it

[@Emokidz-ly9qp]

last time I was this early,people said magnumXL200 Was a good ride

[@nationalcoasternews5798]

Alex flake So you're saying that people never said it was a good ride right?

[@Emokidz-ly9qp]

National Coaster News I'm saying a lot of people used to say it was a good ride,but now not a lot of people say it's a good ride

[@nationalcoasternews5798]

Alex flake I'm joking. You're seven years late.

[@powerfulcornelius3285]

MagnumXL is a good ride

[@VBaskin2010]

Happy 19th Birthday Raptor!

[@AngHoranxx]

my mom has a crewneck that has the raptor logo from 1993 its cool

[@iHemme14]

1994?

[@nationalcoasternews5798]

that looks awesome can't wait to ride it when I go to cedar point

[@JKwiatkowski94]

@Flyboys243 The skyline gets better and better every year!

[@jacksonpriestap3685]

This is one of the greatest ads for a roller coaster I’ve ever seen.

[@AmusementParkLife]

0:45 this is creepy

[@YuukiTakemoto1996]

CLICK ALL THE ADS

[@nathanielthomas2502]

Anyone notice in the overview of the penisula that Mean Streak wasn't there. It was built in 91' three years before Raptor
& i always wanted CP to get rid of those cabins for more space

[@PeaceLoveHappines927]

@Reyrizzle101 Its an amazing ride i love it !

[@Swampfoxtrd]

I wonder how many people wrote the cedar point PO Box about the raptor, let alone anything. Would be curious to see if it still delivers now or if you’d get a return to sender

[@d-rock100]

Oh it still delivers. Still one of the best rides in the park

[@Real28]

Still one of the best rides in the park.

[@mithramusic5909]

This video is so extra

[@UnpleasantDelinquent]

The animation looks like Transformers Beast Wars.

[@YuukiTakemoto1996]

YESSSSSS...
