Rapterra’s Immersive Backstory: Centuries ago, ancient leaders built a shrine to honor the mighty Jungle Hawk. People who entered the shrine became spiritually linked to—and temporarily possessed—the powers and abilities of the bird of prey.

Building the temple at the base of a volcano, Mt. Inferna, proved unfortunate. The ground surrounding the magma chamber collapsed, burying the Jungle Hawk temple under mounds of volcanic rock. The temple seemingly vanished from the earth.

Archaeologists recently discovered the volcanic site and unearthed the remains of the Jungle Hawk shrine. The bird’s ferocious spirit remains at the site, launching brave riders to exhilarating new heights. Rapterra: The world’s tallest and longest launched wing coaster.

The intense launch thrusts you skyward to soar 145 feet above the jungle floor. You plunge downward into a steep dive, gaining speed before pitching upward again into a tight dive loop - the first of three stomach-churning inversions. Like a Jungle Hawk, you weave through the air, gracefully shifting from side to side and changing direction and altitude as you please. After soaring high above the midway for a second time, riders sweep sideways as they drop down to the ground. Riders flip head-over-heels spinning through the corkscrew, crest a peak with a momentary sense of weightlessness and quickly swoop into a 360-degree raptor roll before landing.
