Ravine Flyer II is a hybrid wooden roller coaster that is located at Waldameer Park in Erie, Pennsylvania, United States. It is said to be the tallest wooden roller coaster to be built in the United States for the year 2008. The Ravine Flyer II took place of the park's old Ravine Flyer, which was taken down in 1938.
