Ravine Flyer II is a hybrid wooden roller coaster that is located at Waldameer Park in Erie, Pennsylvania, United States. It is the largest wooden roller coaster to be built in the United States in 2008. The "Ravine Flyer II" took place of the park's old Ravine Flyer, which was taken down in 1938. Initial concepts for the replacement ride were developed by Larry Bill and Charles Dinn of Custom Coasters International in the early 1990's, further developed by Dennis McNulty several years later, then finalized and constructed by The Gravity Group with Jeff Mason overseeing construction.

The trains

Created by Philadelphia Toboggan Coasters, the passengers are strapped in by a seatbelt and a lapbar. There are two six-car trains (a red and a blue train), both of which carry 24 passengers.

Awards

Ravine Flyer II won best new ride at the 2008 Golden Ticket Awards and was voted 11th best wooden roller coaster at the the same awards.
