The "world's tallest and longest launched wing coaster" will open next year at Kings Dominion, the Virginia-based amusement park announced.

"The ride then plummets into a dive loop, and navigates a series of thrilling aerial maneuvers, including an S-turn, a wing side, a flat spin, and airtime hill and a 360-degree raptor roll," the press release said.

A video concept provided by Kings Dominion shows the Rapterra's winged design, which positions riders on either side of the track. The coaster also features supporting gray columns and green tracks which creates loops, twists and rolls.

The Rapterra is being constructed and going through testing but is planned to open during the 2025 season.

Season passes start at $7 per month.
