Kungase kungabandakanyi izici ezikhethekile ezifana nomhubhe noma ukuphahlazeka, kodwa ngamaconsi angu-90-degree kanye nezimpikiswano ezintathu, u-Valravn ugcina abagibeli abahlanganyela futhi bememeza kusukela ekuqaleni kuya ekugcineni.

I-experience ye-ride ihlukile kancane kuye ngokuthi uhlezi ngaphambili, emaphakathi, noma emigqeni yokugcina. Ukuze uthole umphumela ogcwele wokudonsa kokuqala kwe-dive coaster, Nokho, kufanele ngempela uhlale emgqeni wangaphambili.
Uma ungafuni ukulinda ngaphambili, thatha esinye sezihlalo zangaphandle zenye imigqa. Ngisho noma uValravn engama-floorless, izihlalo ezimbili eziphakathi emigqeni yesibili neyesithathu zinesiteji esixhuma izimoto.
Ivimbela umbono ngaphansi kwesitimela.
I-Valravn isebenzisa isitayela se-vest yakamuva, ukuvinjelwa okuphezulu kwe-B & M okusetshenzisiwe kumamodeli wakamuva afana ne-GateKeeper, Banshee, ne-Thunderbird. Banikeza induduzo enkulu kodwa bavumela ukuhamba okuningi, ngakho-ke abagibeli bangakwazi ukuphuma ezindaweni zabo (ngokuphepha, ngokuqinisekile) phakathi kwamaconsi kanye nezakhi ze-zero-G.
Njengoba isitimela sithumela esiteshini, senza ngokushesha i-180-degree iphendukele enqabeni yokuphakama. Ngesikhathi abagibeli beqala phezulu kwegquma lokuqala, baqala ukubhekwa phambili enkundleni yepaki ngezimpawu zeMillennium Force, Top Thrill Dragster , noRougarou.

Njengoba nje abagibeli beqala ukuthutha ngokukhululekile emibonweni emihle, amathiphu wezitimela ngaphezu komngcele eseceleni ama-degree angama-45-degree bese ewashiya ephazamisekile futhi eqala phansi phansi emasekhondini ambalwa amancane (okuzizwa sengathi angunaphakade). Lokhu kuyisiqalo sokushayela kwesiginesha se-coaster.
Ngemuva kokuqedwa kwama-214-foot, 90 degree degree, ama-coaster ama-inversions amathathu, ukwehla kwe-90-degree (ngaphandle kokungabaza okwesibili nxazonke), nokuhamba okungeziwe okuletha i-airtime enkulu .
Cishe Njengokuzijabulisa Okumangalisayo Ukubuka Njengoba Kuhamba
Njengoba i-Cedar Point ye-17th roller coaster, i-Valravn yengezelela okuqinile okufanele ifake izilaleli eziningi. Konke okuphathelene nokugibela kuyamangalisa, kusukela usayizi omkhulu wethrekhi futhi kusekela ezitimeleni eziningi. Akugcini nje ukuthi u-Valravn ujabulisa ukugibela, kumnandi nokuba umbukeli futhi ubukele izitimela zihamba kahle ngokuzungeze ithrekhi.
Ama-B & M asanda kushaya afana ne-GateKeeper, i-Banshee, futhi manje u-Valravn agxile ezintweni ezinkulu, ezibanzi ezithinta ithoni. Basiza ukwenza i-coaster ikhululeke kakhulu ukuzwa futhi kulula ukugijima kabusha. Izivakashi ezingase zisatshwe ukugibela okwedlulele njenge-Millennium Force noma i-Top Thrill Dragster kungenzeka zizimisele ukubhekana no-Valravn. Kuyinto evusa amadlingozi ngempela kodwa ifinyeleleke kakhulu.
I-Cedar Point ibilokhu igxile ekwenzeni i-placemaking kanye ne-landscaping ngezingxenye zayo zakamuva. I-GateKeeper kanye nokulungiswa kwesango langaphambili lepaki ngo-2013 kanye nezithuthukisi ze-Gemini Midway ngo-2014 ziyizibonelo ezinhle. Ku-Valravn, leli paki liye lafaka i-plaza entsha ngama-flowerbeds amahle, imigwaqo yezinyawo, namabhentshi amaningi kubantu abangewona abagibeli ukuba bangene ezintweni (noma abagibeli babambe umoya ngemuva kokunqoba i-coaster).
Ipaki ibuye ivule i-Blue Streak phakathi nomgwaqo endaweni yaseValravn, ngaleyo ndlela idale indlela entsha nemibono ye-Raptor.
Iphakheji lokukhanyisa kuValravn liqukethe ama-LED akhanyayo, anemibala eminingi enqamula i-hill lift. Amacwecwe amhlophe akhanyisa yonke indawo yethrekhi ebusuku. Kuyinto ukubona futhi kuvumela izivakashi ukuba ujabulele ukubukela Valravn emva kokushona kwelanga kanye nasemini.
Esinye isici esidumazayo yisikhathi sokuhamba. Lapho abagibeli behlasela ukugijima kokugcina, kungenzeka ukuthi bafuna ngaphezulu. Kodwa-ke, emizuzwini engu-2 nemizuzwana engu-23, ibude kakhulu uma kuqhathaniswa namanye ama-coasters e-dive.
