This awesome wooden roller coaster gives you an incredible view of Lake Erie at the top, before plunging you down a drop (that's bigger than it's height!) into a truss over a road! It's got some wild moments, and absolutely deserves its nickname of 'mini Voyage!'

This coaster just proves why The Gravity Group is the best manufacturer of wooden coasters. They know exactly what they're doing and the experiences they can create are so wild and well designed, as well as unique. I've only done one of their rides, Twister at Gröna Lund, which might be their weirdest coaster, but even that is a fantastic ride in the back and I loved it. I can't wait to try something bigger like this from them
My favorite manufacturer period.
I haven't ridden one yet but I really hope to ride Voyage one day, it's near the top of my bucket list. Hopefully more parks build large scale Gravity Groups, their new pre-cut track looks promising
Any more praise and attention for this coaster is a great thing in my book. Not everyone is wowed by this woodie, which is OK, but many of us are blown away by it.
It’s widely considered one of the best woodies in the world....
I was absolutely stunned by it, it’s without a doubt my favorite wooden roller coaster
My favorite coaster, easily one of the most underrated woodies in America
Now that shivering Timbers is getting it’s rightful praise, I’d argue this is the most underrated of them all
@@coasters4life388 he’s talking about Ravine Flyer not Phoenix? 😏
@@kylebetz9684 I think this is a bit of a generational thing. I have been out of the coaster enthusiasts groups for maybe 15 years now and just getting back into it. And back when Shivering Timbers came out it seemed highly acclaimef, coveted and covered. Def one of the coasters I wanted to ride the most
Hell, even Raven at Holiday World was still getting more love. But as rides have deteriorated and technology/designs have advanced, the top coasters that I used to know have taken a back seat.
Lmao how is it underrated? It’s consistently rated as one of the GOAT woodies. If anything, it’s overrated due to its lacklustre second half
Think about it: This was in 2008, when The Gravity Group was only 3-4 years into its existence, and already, you could tell how they were going off with a bang with Hades, The Voyage, and Ravine Flyer II. I mean that's amazing. They're all amazing rides and The Gravity Group deserves all the respect they get in this industry. I mean granted, they were engineers from Custom Coasters International, so they do have years of experience prior to The Gravity Group being started, but it's still crazy to see just the first few coasters they made right from the start.
Don't forget Boardwalk Bullet! I haven't ridden that since 2009. Kind of curious to see how that's running these days.
Ive been riding this since it first opened and it’s always been one of my favorite coasters. I’m glad it’s finally getting recognition.
The best thing about this roller coaster is you can just go in for free and with one of the swipe cards you can pay $5 to ride and then go home. As a local, I've been known to do just that! The second best thing is because this is in a lesser known park, you can ride this coaster MANY times. Line is rarely very long.
I was just there recently and absolutely loved that ride. Interesting history as told by park staff is that the original Ravine Flyer closed because someone stood up on the bridge over the road, fell out and got hit by a car.
Rode Ravine Flyer II on my way from Cleveland to the the Finger Lakes, NY. I had heard a lot about it, and driven right by Waldameer on I-90 at least 6 times, but in 2021 I finally decided to hop of the highway and try it. This is an amazing ride. I ended up marathoning it after I rode the other coasters in the park, and I couldn't get enough of it. What a hidden gem!
Could you imagine that truss as a stall? Over the road??? Omg I just had one of those light headed moments.
One of my bucket list coasters
With the lift walk in mind, it seems like you had extra access to the coaster than most would and that shows in the footage you've edited and displayed. It's been really awesome to see this channel's skills progress and this is definitely one of the more unique visual reviews Coaster Studios has ever done. Great job and look forward to more.
Holy cow this thing is actually a mini Voyage. That's it I'm going here.
Home ❤️. I've ridden this coaster more than any other. It's running just as well today as the day it opened.
My one, and possibly only, opportunity to ride this coast was simply unforgettable; aside from the cool family atmosphere of Waldemeer. Especially those views will stay with me forever.
I can see why it's underrated as because of the park's remote location, its not on people's radar or leaves their short-term memories. For me, the coaster was similar to both Phantom's Revenge and Lightning Run at Louisville since they were all initially unassuming. Then you ride them, and yeah, I definitely got Voyage vibes especially from the way the ride hugs the terrain and the spaghetti bowl.
Definitely a worthwhile trip for anyone and the park itself is just simply chill
This coaster is a certified hood classic
It's nice to hear this ride was retracked; I love it, but it was getting a bit rough over the past couple of seasons. Looking forward to riding it this year now that it's had a little work done!
Love this ride. Waldameer was my first Home Park. it's an incredible night ride as well you should definitely try to grab one at some point.
I'd love to see your review of Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk's Giant Dipper
after watching your pov of this ride and seeing how much it flies I'm surprised the drop is only 118 feet.
Perfect timing, I’m going there tomorrow!
I live 30 minutes to the west of here and even I rarely go. I usually just prefer to follow the lake shore for 2 hours in the other direction for my thrills. I really should change that. I’ve really forgotten how awesome this thing is…
Great to hear it got a retrack! Going to be visiting my home town Erie in a couple of weeks cant wait to get back on this awesome wooden coaster!!
i live 2 hrs away from this my grandparents live in erie and we go there once a year:)
Just rode it today. It was awesome. It was flying today.
Yes, totally agree! Why is "this coaster on Lake Erie" not talked about more? It's my 3rd favorite coaster on Lake Erie. It's my favorite view on any coaster, and my # 4 ranked wooden coaster overall. It does slow down some at the end, but so does El Toro, so I'm not really bothered by that, because everything up to that point is so great.
Of the wood coasters I've ridden, RAVINE FLYER 2 is my favorite! Powerful and exciting and INTENSE says it all!
If you want some more info about the original Ravine Flyer, here is some good videos to watch:
Ravine Flyer I and How we Found It (With NoLimits Recreation) - CZcams
The Unfortunate Fate of Ravine Flyer I - CZcams
2nd favorite coaster... next to the Voyage!
Random fact, the picnic shelter near the entrance of the coaster (Lakeview Grove) is the station of the original Ravine Flyer
I’ve ridden this coaster one time before towards the back got almost no airtime, was head-banging and jerking around the whole ride. I recognize the amazing layout this coaster has but the roughness was so intense I couldn’t enjoy the ride.😕
This park is close to me so I may get a re ride one day.
Please talk more about waldemeer I love this park!!
Fun Fact: Ravine Flyer 3 is quite a bit older than Ravine Flyer II because there were plans for the latter decades before it was built.
being a an hour and a half from CP and waldameer is reason enough to move to Cleveland
That turn around reminds me of Hades original turn around before it was converted.
Love this ride, though it was pretty rough when I rode it.
This Canadian loves that they have our flag! Your videos have sold me on visiting here.
It’s because you can see Canada from the top of the ride
The Voyage is better of course, but this one is a ton of fun
Are you two really on this coaster by yourselves?!? Can I borrow this part of your life? I promise to give it back. Eventually. 😂
i hope they do put a steel raven flyer in tat wuld be so cool
Great review! Everything you said is 100% true
Gotta shout out grandma at 5:24
Best thing about Erie, Pa.
I put Ravine Flyer II over coaster such as Tremors, Boulder Dash, Prowler, Thunderhead, Cornball Express, Raven, Legend, and Boardwalk Bullet in the my wood rankings. It is currently my 10th favorite wood coaster. It is really a good ride and I think calling it a baby Voyage is really fair.
That ride would be my favorite roller coaster ever if it weren’t as bumby
I rank this higher than all but 3 coasters at Cedar Point. Millie, Maverick and SteVe. I wish it didn’t have PTC trains. Id love to see Millennium Flyers.
A fine job😊
I’ve been waiting for this moment for so long lmao
Been on it!!
So now that we have this video what about the flying turns review
Yay new coaster review. I looked to see if you made a review of this and you didn’t so this should be good
I would be curious to see if they could get Timberliners to run on this coaster. The PTC's aren't that bad though but I know they bother other enthusiasts.
have you heard about the city permits and land clearing at worlds of fun ??
Make a video about cedar fair selling Knott’s Berry Farm
What are your top 10 gci wooden rollercoasters?
The front and back “are awesome for different reasons”.
Reason one: the front is different from the back bc it’s not the back and that makes it awesome
Reason two: the back is different from the front bc it’s not the front and that makes it awesome
The best wooden coaster in Pennsylvania but not the best hybrid anymore
Cedar Fair sold Knott’s Berry Farm, so why don’t you make a video about it to say like what you think about it and should Cedar Fair had made that decision. It’d be a good video idea.
“Not talked about enough.” I along with a lot of your group have been begging for this review for the better part of 10 years now. You didn’t talk about it. And hot take. I enjoy it more than Voyage. Just non stop from drop to brakes.
Finally. How long have we been bugging you about this? Lol
Too long :)
Great review! If you are open to suggestions can you rereview Ghostrider or X2? Your opinions on both have changed drastically since you reviewed them.
They’re on my to do list!
Cool review😎
Ravine Flyer 3 was made before Ravine Flyer 2😂
Fun fact, Ravine Flyer 3 opened before Ravine Flyer II
Would you say it's better than Hades 360?
Ravine Flyer IV. Coming to Waldameer in 2023
Another spinning coaster?
@@Productions427 Not a spinning coaster, a B&M hyper
New reviewwww
Is this ride really rickety?
no
now it is
funnily enoug ravine flyer III is older than ravine flyer II
Yep, it’s because the park has been planning rf2 since the 90s but it wasn’t made a reality untill 2008
@@WaldameerEnthusiast. and I’m really glad for that. Otherwise they may have called Dinn…
its either wood or steel.. end of story...steel vengence is a steel coaster.
not a hybrid. it has wood track. the structure dont mean anything imo. its a wooden coaster
No, It’s a hybrid between wood and steel because it’s not fully wood due to the structure
@@Camdennnn to me hybrid is simply a model. It’s not a type of coaster. So hybrid simply refers the the ibox track.
@@thecoastergnome8603 but that’s just wrong because there are steel track wood support coasters not with ibox so what do you call those
6:13 excluding Rhode Island!!?? What the heck. Why? Another reason this state is the worst. All you NJ folk think your state is the worst, you have no idea. We don't even have a rollercoaster here
He’s not from New Jersey? Lmfao
@@triple7marcSarah is and a ton of ppl who watch this are. Theres a ton of enthusiasts from NJ
@@willlima1297 Ohhh when you say “all you NJ folk” I thought you were referring to Taylor lol. Either way Rhode Island definitely isn’t the worst state, y’all have some beautiful scenery.
