Rapterra, inspired by the powerful Jungle Hawk, offers riders the sensation of flight. The adventure begins with a powerful launch, accelerating passengers to 65 mph 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.
