Kings Dominion, in Virginia, is thrilled to announce the arrival of Rapterra as part of the park's 50th anniversary season in 2025.

Standing at 145 feet tall and stretching 3,086 feet long, this new attraction will be the world's tallest and longest launched wing coaster, and it promises to offer an unforgettable experience filled with heights, speed and exhilarating maneuvers for all park-goers.

Manufactured by industry leader Bolliger and Mabillard, Rapterra's winged coaster design positions riders on either side of the track, offering an immersive, floorless experience that simulates flying.

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 3 inversions before a smooth return to the station.

Bridgette Bywater, Vice President and General Manager of Kings Dominion, said:

"We are excited to unveil Rapterra, the must-do ride of 2025, at Kings Dominion. This extraordinary addition promises new thrills for our guests, making it the perfect centerpiece for our 50th anniversary celebration and reaffirming why Kings Dominion is the ultimate destination for unforgettable memories and exhilarating excitement."

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.
