I've really enjoyed pretty much every B&M invert I've gotten a chance to ride, and Raptor is no different. In fact, I think this is the best of the bunch, and probably the best in the United States overall. The sheer intensity on this one is unmatched by any other invert I've ridden (except maybe Alpengeist, but I think that ride is actually too intense and large-scale for its own good). Every loop, roll, and corkscrew flows together beautifully and creates a ride that truly embodies ripping through its course. I had often heard people say that inverts felt like they were going to "rip their feet off", but I never really understood what they meant until the final helix on Raptor. It is an absurdly intense element, and really brings together the whole experience at the last moment. I know many complain about the brakes, but even riding in the back row I felt no discomfort at the end. Raptor is not just an incredible inverted coaster, but an incredible roller coaster overall. 9/10 - this is the best roller coaster themed to a flying animal at Cedar Point
