Rapterra is a launched wing roller coaster at Kings Dominion in Doswell, Virginia. Built by Bolliger & Mabillard, it opened on March 29, 2025, replacing Volcano: The Blast Coaster, and the park calls it the world's tallest and longest launched wing coaster.
Riders sit in pairs on either side of the track with nothing above or below them. An electromagnetic launch sends the train out of the station to 65 mph in four seconds and up to a height of 145 feet. The 3,086-foot course has three inversions, a dive loop, a flat spin corkscrew and a 360-degree raptor roll, and the ride lasts 89 seconds.
Its story centers on a buried shrine to a legendary Jungle Hawk. Riders must be at least 48 inches tall.
