Cedar Point Wows Us Again

The anticipation of going up a 220+ foot hill is generally met with hysteria and excitement as you nosedive down the other side of the hill. However, we are not talking your “normal” roller coaster, we are at Cedar Point, the Roller Coaster Capital of the World, and they like to spice things up a little.

As a Cedar Point Blogger . . . and long time visitor,  I wanted to explain and show you what “hold and dive” means. The Valravn takes you up 223 feet and before you drop, holds you over the edge of the top of the hill for not 1, not 2, not 3, but 4 seconds. You can take this time to take in the beautiful scenery of Lake Erie and the Cedar Point skyline, or you can take that time to panic, freak out, go nuts or however you may like!

After the hold and dive, there is plenty of ride left, 3 inversions which will leave you head over heals and another drop mixed in with speeds up to 75mph will leave you wanting to ride again! Check out this point of view Valravn video . . . WOW!

This is a must for the summer, get to Cedar Point and ride the Valravn, it owns 6 world records on its own and its presence in the park gives Cedar Point another 4 world records as a park.Valravn Video New Cedar Point 2016

Here is the world record count:

  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 (3)
  5. Longest Drop on a Dive Coaster (214 feet)
  6. Highest Inversion on a Dive Coaster (165 feet)
  7. Most Roller Coasters Taller Than 200 Feet at One Amusement Park (5)
  8. Most Rides at One Amusement Park (71)
  9. Most Steel Roller Coaster Track at One Amusement Park (52,125 feet/9.9 miles)
  10. Most Roller Coaster Track at One Amusement Park (60,110/11.4 miles)

I can honestly say that anyone within 4 hours of Cedar Point is spoiled. Cedar Point has an amazing collection of roller coasters and many other offerings to provide a perfect family experience. Since you can’t ride it yet, make sure you check out the Valravn video above, imagine riding in the front seat and get ready for summer!Valravn Video New Cedar Point 2016

Cedar Point is home to the best roller coaster rides in the world, and it’s located in sunny Sandusky, OH. I will be there this summer to take in everything Cedar Point has to offer, when will you?

    Just looking at how high that roller coaster goes makes my stomach do flip flops. I know my son would love this roller coaster for him the higher and faster the better.

    WOW! I would love to go top Cedar Point. It looks like so much fun and we have a Water park where I live and a big roller coaster too. But going to Cedar Point would be a dream!

    We had season passes the past two years and I think the kids got burned out, they actually didn’t want them for 2016…Crazy, I know! We do plan on going once this year because I have to ride Valravn! We are only about an hour away and probably visited the park 10+ times last year!

Hey there! I’m Tesa, the mom behind 2 Wired 2 Tired. The blog got its name because we have two kids born a year apart and my husband, Dave, and I always joked that "the kids were too wired and we were too tired!" :)

Fast forward a bit—now the kids are off to college (how did that happened so fast!) and since 2009, I’ve been blogging through the chaos, coffee in hand, finding the best in family, travel, and tech—because honestly, who has time for bad gadgets and boring trips?

So, whether you're searching for family travel inspiration, tech gadgets, or tips to enhance family life, you're in the right place because the fun (and the coffee) is always brewing around here!
