<p>In celebration of Kings Dominion&#8217;s 50th anniversary, they have announced the addition of Rapterra, by industry leader Bolliger and Mabillard.</p>
<p>Standing at 145 feet tall and stretching 3,086 feet long, this incredible new attraction is the world&#8217;s tallest and longest launched wing coaster.</p>
<p>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.</p>

<p>Construction of Rapterra is already in progress, with completion expected this fall. The coaster will officially open in 2025, coinciding with Kings Dominion&#8217;s milestone 50th anniversary celebration. More information on the 50th anniversary celebration will be shared at a later date.</p>
