Im usually not a really big fan of these inverts, but this one is a real standout. On previous days this ride had a really long wait. But with my card from hotel breakers, I was let into the park early. I headed straight to raptor. I walked into the station and walked into the front row. Our train was sent out of the station and slowly cranked up the lift hill. Our train then flew down the first drop, giving me a surprising amount of airtime.  After that we went through a ton of disorienting inversions. I loved the first loop followed by the Barrel roll thing. It was great from the front. You could see the track twisting in front of you. After that you go through a cobra roll and hit the mid course brakes. You then go through a little corckscrew and start heading towards the station. The only bad part is the final helix. It was a little rough. I dont know how it would be from the back though. This is my 3rd favorite invert with montu and DD ice in front of it. All in All a very good ride. Id sugest that you sit up in front... you can kick the sky!! LOL
