Ravine Flyer 3 is a steel family roller coaster at Waldameer Park in Erie, Pennsylvania. It was built by E&F Miler Industries and opened in 2000, eight years before the park's large wooden coaster Ravine Flyer II.
The coaster stands 13 feet tall and has 330 feet of track laid out over a pond with fountains. A chain lift pulls the single six-car train up, and riders go around the circuit twice per ride, with slopes and curves that push riders toward the right side of the car. The pond was previously used by the park's Bumper Boats ride, which ran from 1984 to 1999.
