Valravn gives riders a sweeping view of Lake Erie before dropping them over 200 feet on a 90-degree free fall that hits a top speed of 75 mph.

It also turns riders upside down three times.

The roller coaster has already broken records. It's now recognized as the tallest, fastest and longest dive coaster.

Cedar Point's 18th roller coaster. Only Six Flags Magic Mountain, in Santa Clarita, California, has more roller coasters with 19.

“Only Six Flags Magic Mountain, in Santa Clarita, California”

I have been to both, Cedar Point at least felt 8 times bigger.

I needed 4 days to do Cedar Point but only one day in California. Maybe because a lot of the rides and attractions aren’t roller coasters, but I enjoyed Cedar Point more.

It was much more expensive though.

I’d assume half of your day will be standing in line. Unless, of course, you fork out an extra $100 or so for a fast pass. Then only a quarter of your day will be in line.

One thing that surprised me was how few actual rides they had at Disney World Magic Kingdom park, resulting in long lines and overcrowding.

Best theme park I’ve been to was Busch Gardens in Williamsburg. (Never made it to Cedar Point.)

There still is only one Revolution. Can take that literally, it has only one loop, but it was the first. Been on it several times back when Magic Mountain was not Six Flags.

Also there was a scene in a recent NCIS:LA (I think) episode that showed part of Revolution. Still there.
