DOSWELL, Va. — The world's tallest and longest-launched wing coaster is set to open in Virginia by 2025.
Central Virginia theme park Kings Dominion announced a new addition to the park, Rapterra, as part of its 50th-anniversary celebration.
The rollercoaster is 145 feet tall and 3,086 feet long and the ride lasts for 89 seconds.
