Hello everyone, get ready to buckle up, thrill-seekers, because Six Flags Great America has just announced something that’s going to take your roller coaster experience to a whole new level! Coming next year, the park will be home to the *Wrath of Rakshasa*, a brand-new, heart-pounding coaster that’s already making waves in the amusement park world.
So, what’s all the excitement about? Well, this isn’t just any roller coaster—*Wrath of Rakshasa* is set to break records. Imagine this: a massive 171-foot drop that plunges you at a beyond-vertical angle of 96 degrees. Yes, you read that right. It’s not just steep; it’s the steepest and most inverted dive coaster in the world! Just thinking about it is enough to make your pulse race.
According to Six Flags Great America’s Park President, John Krajnak, this new ride is a testament to the park’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of innovation. “Six Flags Great America continues to push the limits of innovation and thrills, as we introduce the world’s steepest drop with the most inversions on a dive coaster,” Krajnak said in a press release.
He also emphasized that this new addition will complement the park’s already impressive lineup of record-breaking roller coasters and attractions, making the park an even more exciting destination for thrill-seekers.
When it opens, *Wrath of Rakshasa* will take riders through five inversions across 3,239 feet of twisting, turning steel track at speeds of up to 67 mph. This means you’ll be experiencing twists, turns, and flips like never before.
The coaster will be located in the County Fair section of the park, right across from another fan favorite, the Demon roller coaster.
Now, if you’re wondering when you’ll be able to ride this beast, Six Flags hasn’t pinned down the exact month yet, but it’s definitely coming next year. So, keep your eyes peeled for more updates, because this is one ride you won’t want to miss.
This announcement comes on the heels of some big news for Six Flags. Just last month, the company merged with Cedar Fair Entertainment, forming the largest amusement park operator in North America with 42 parks under its belt.
With this merger, Six Flags plans to ramp up its offerings, not just with cutting-edge rides like *Wrath of Rakshasa*, but also with new food, beverage options, and state-of-the-art technologies to enhance your overall park experience.
So, mark your calendars and get ready for *Wrath of Rakshasa*. Whether you’re a die-hard coaster enthusiast or just someone looking for an adrenaline rush, this ride is sure to deliver thrills you’ll be talking about for years to come.
