New US rollercoaster set to shatter world records
nine.com.au staff
Thrillseekers rejoice, a new rollercoaster in the US is set to shatter world records when it goes into operation next year.
The Valravn ride at Cedar Point amusement park in Sandusky, Ohio, stretches more than 1km and has a 65 metre freefall drop.
The drop hits a lunch-losing top speed of 120 km/h, a world record.
The rollercoaster will claim 10 world records in total when it opens in Winter 2016, including longest ride, fastest dive, and most inversions (three).
The ride was designed and built by Swiss company Bolliger & Mabillard, with Valravn Birdseye being the 100th coaster the firm has created.
Needless to say, avoid the Pluto Pup and Caramel Shake combo before riding.
