Rob's Top 9		With it's slogan "Raptor, Rules the Sky" it has done just that by being one of the tallest and fasted inverted coasters on the planet since it's debut in 1994. Raptor, an inverted roller coaster featuring ski lift-like seats with no floors, turns passengers upside down on the outside of its structure six times. This high-tech thriller is one of the highest rated new rides ever introduced at Cedar Point.
