The brutal cold temperatures aren’t hampering Cedar Point construction crews from making amazing progress on Valravn, the new-for-2016 Bolliger & Mabillard (B&M) dive coaster. The park’s director of communications, Tony Clark, has been sharing the coaster’s progress on his Twitter page.
The final piece of track separating the post-lift turn and the 214-foot drop was installed last week.
The lift hill, standing at a dive-coaster-record 223 feet will be visible from many areas within the park.
Before long, the coaster’s 24-seat trains (riders seated eight abreast in three rows) will be plunging toward the earth.
