Valravn

The world's tallest, fastest, and longest dive coaster. Valravn holds you at the top of a 223-foot tower for three seconds before dropping you beyond vertical at 75 mph. Pure psychological intimidation made into a ride.

Best Row & Strategy

Best Row

Front row, outside seat for the most exposed hold at the top and the full view of the 214-foot drop

Tips

  • The 3-second hold at the top before the drop is psychological warfare — don't look down until you have to
  • Valravn's wide trains and good throughput make it one of the more manageable major coasters in the park
  • The Immelmann loop after the first drop is the highlight of the layout

✅ Pros

  • 214-foot beyond-vertical first drop is a genuine bucket-list moment
  • The anticipation built by the 3-second hold at the top is unmatched
  • Smooth, well-paced layout that delivers on its premise

⚠️ Cons

  • Short ride time for the height — the layout is more spectacle than substance
  • The experience is front-loaded; the second half is comparatively tame
