The new roller coaster to be in operation summer 2016

Ohio’s Cedar Point amusement park released a CG mock-up of its newest coaster, the Valravn (val-rey-vuhn) Birdseye, which is bound to be the tallest, fastest and longest dive coaster. Riders will free fall a record 214ft at a 90-degree angle and top speed of 75mph before a series of twists and turns .They are flipped upside down through a fighter jet-like maneuver that takes them into a half loop and half roll

With stomach-churning twists and turns , the ride will break 10 roller coaster records when it opens next summer. The records are:

1. Tallest dive coaster (223 feet)
2. Fastest dive coaster (75 mph)
3. Longest dive coaster (3,415 feet)
4. Most inversions on a dive coaster (three)
5. Longest drop on a dive coaster (214 feet)
