In celebration of Kings Dominion’s 50th anniversary, they have announced the addition of Rapterra, by industry leader Bolliger and Mabillard.

Standing at 145 feet tall and stretching 3,086 feet long, this incredible new attraction is the world’s tallest and longest launched wing coaster.

Rapterra, inspired by the powerful Jungle Hawk, offers riders the sensation of flight. The adventure begins with a powerful launch, accelerating passengers to 65 miles per hour in just four seconds before ascending to its zenith over the Jungle X-Pedition midway. The ride then plummets into a dive loop, and navigates a series of thrilling aerial maneuvers, including an S-turn, a wing slide, a flat spin, an airtime hill, and a 360-degree raptor roll. The 89-second ride totals three inversions before a smooth return to the station.

Construction of Rapterra is already in progress, with completion expected this fall. The coaster will officially open in 2025, coinciding with Kings Dominion’s milestone 50th anniversary celebration. More information on the 50th anniversary celebration will be shared at a later date.
