I don't think it helps that it lives at the front of a busy park. I queued a bloody long time to ride that meh invert.
Maybe I lucked out, but at least a couple of the days I went to Cedar Point a few years ago, it was a walk-on a lot of the time. Only wish I could have said the same about Maverick. :roll:
I wonder if it gets waves of busy/dead spots, because it's at the very front? Possible, and I got unlucky and you got lucky? Still, was busy when I went - too busy for a school day anyway. Irritated me.
Maverick was obviously worse. Which intrigues me, because it's not
that new now and any hype should have died down. I think Maverick's busyness perhaps proves that the GP actually do know their stuff, it is after all one of the only good things in the park, despite it being small and tucked back in the corner. I would have thought it has a bloody good throughput... when not closed due to invisible rain, that is.

But back to Raptor, I'm now intrigued about the second hand clone in France... What's it called? Monster? Has anyone ridden both it and Raptor?
Is Raptor generally thought of as being a bit ...crap? I thought it was not only dull, but rough and it has one of the worst queue lines I've ever been in. In fact, off the top of my head, I can't think of a worse one. It's a horrible case of cattle pens with NOTHING to look at WHAT SO EVER. Horrible. That queue might well have effected my opinion of it.
