Someone keeps changing the image to a version which was taken on a cloudy, rainy day, from behind a raindrop-splattered plastic window, with poor lighting. The effect when thumbnailed is a big gray blob in which absolutely nothing is distinguishable. I have tried to explain this in edit summaries but it keeps getting reverted, so I'm going to try here. Does anyone have any reason why the other image should be preferred? ( ESkog)( Talk) 19:36, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
By that, does it mean the second inverted coaster? I know that's wrong, as 2 versions of Batman - the ride as well as Top Gun came out during or before 1993, a year befor raptor.
I edited the awards section so it better matches the Amusement Today award boxes on other coaster pages. Rpachico 15:42, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

Ride duration is indeed 2:32.
Raptor opened in May 1994 with a ride time of 2 minutes and 16 seconds. In 1999, the ride duration was extended to 2 minutes and 32 seconds, after the ride maintenance department slowed down the chain speed of the lift hill (the stats on the official Cedar Point web site still reflect the opening statistics). It currently takes approximately 30 seconds to ascend the lift hill. This is also the basis for the drop in ridership in 2000. The fact is, the ride moves slower.
To verify, call Cedar Point Park Operations at 419-626-2301 direct. Ask for Rides Manager Matt Ozosky (although Wiki does not like Trivia sections... here's a tidbit: Ozosky was on the opening Raptor crew in 1994. He knows the ride well).
I would like to change the image to the one I recently added to the gallery, effectively switching them; however, I wanted to get other opinions the matter. The image I would like to change it to is the one of the Raptor passing over the Cedar Point midway. Thoughts? Roar888 ( talk) 05:44, 17 May 2011 (UTC)

I'll review. Give me a few hours to get something together... Meetthefeebles ( talk) 15:24, 25 November 2012 (UTC)
Okay, I'll make a start:
I'll leave comments as I read through:
Reference check: I've checked about three quarters of the references and they all seem fine.
Overall, there are a few small issues listed above but this one isn't a million miles away. I'll place on hold pending the response of the nominator. Meetthefeebles ( talk) 18:18, 25 November 2012 (UTC)
GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria
A well written, well-referenced, well-illustrated article.
My only concern, as indeed I have with all of the roller-coaster articles I've come across, is that they seem rather short on content, but I am not entirely sure what more can be realistically added. With that in mind, I've assessed this article against the requirements of WP:WIAGA and, in the light of improvements carried out, I'm awarding GA-status. Well done! Please consider reviewing an article against the GA criteria. Meetthefeebles ( talk) 19:44, 28 November 2012 (UTC)

I am a Cedar point historian and I know for a fact that the raptor was the first ride in Cedar point history to have a 54 inch height requirement. In the past, majority of their rides had height requirements with a maximum of 48 inches.
If this Ozosky user was part of the Cedar point opening crew, then he could indeed verify this. 2600:1009:B07D:7D65:3D8A:9DA8:7061:B11E ( talk) 01:31, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
