Ravine Flyer II

Ravine Flyer II opened in 2008 after years of planning and legal battles, and it was very worth the wait. The ride is the tallest, fastest, and steepest wooden coaster in Pennsylvania, and features the longest drop on any wooden coaster in Pennsylvania as well. It was awarded the title Best New Ride of 2008 by Amusement Today's Golden Ticket Awards, and has been ranked in the top ten best wooden coasters in the world every year since 2009, peaking at number five in 2016.

The ride features ten moments of strong airtime, as well as lateral forces, three tunnels, and a 165-foot arched bridge over Peninsula Drive, making it the only ride in the world to cross overtop a four-lane highway. After passing up on Dinn Corporation, it was initially to be built by Custom Coasters International, but following their bankruptcy, Waldameer finally chose to work with The Gravity Group.

It was inspired by the Ravine Flyer coaster which operated at Waldameer from 1922 to 1938, and crosses Peninsula Drive in the exact spot which the first coaster did. It also has a younger sibling in the form of nearby kiddie coaster Ravine Flyer 3. Ravine Flyer II's entrance can be found in the back of the park to the right of the Whacky Shack.

Ravine Flyer II has two trains, one of which is red, and the other of which is blue. Each train has six cars, and each car has two two-passenger rows. The trains were built by Philadelphia Toboggan Coasters. An empty single car weighs 2,000 pounds, making for a total empty train weight of 12,000 pounds. The ride's slogan is "Dare, fly, earn your wings!"

Ravine Flyer II opened to the public on May 17th, 2008, in a charity event benefitting the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.
