Waldameer's Ravine Flyer II Video

Ravine Flyer II @ Waldameer Park | On Ride Video
Waldameer' Park's Ravine Flyer II is my pick for the sleeper hit of 2008. It was designed by the Gravity Group. They've produced the 2007 Golden Ticket winner Voyage as well as the greatly underrated Hades at Mount Olympus. Ravine Flyer II will feature a 120 foot first drop, 10 moments of air time, 6 tunnels, 10 cross overs, a 90 degree turn, a view of Lake Erie, and a 165 foot bridge over a highway. In my opinion, Ravine Flyer II is the coaster that's most likely to become a classic out of the class of '08.

Check out this onride video of Ravine Flyer II:


If those small hills in the video provide airtime as advertised, than this will be one airtime packed ride. The pacing looks pretty good and all of Ravine Flyer's tunnels will help to spice up the ride. Overall, from the video, Ravine Flyer looks great. Hopefully, I'll get up to Erie, PA to experience this coaster in person.

How do you think Ravine Flyer II will be? Leave a comment below.

Just rode it yesterday...
The three words that best describe it are FAST, FAST, FAST !!!
The video does not do it justice... it has tons of airtime.
