Raptor
Raptor is one of the most popular and iconic rides at Gardaland. It’s a winged coaster and the first of its kind in Italy, inaugurated in 2011.
What is a winged coaster?
It literally means “winged roller coaster,” where your feet dangle in mid-air and the track runs alongside the sides of the train.
This gives you the sensation of flying on the wing of an airplane.
The setting is a post-apocalyptic sci-fi scene with a swamp, broken towers, rocks, and trees that you’ll narrowly miss during your high-speed flight.

The track is approximately 770 meters long with a maximum height of 33 meters and a top speed of 90 km/h.
