Press Release:
GURNEE, Ill. — August 15, 2024 — Six Flags Great America, the Thrill Capital of the Midwest, today announced plans to debut the world’s steepest drop with the most inversions on a dive coaster. Wrath of Rakshasa, towering at a massive 180 feet tall, features a cliffhanger hold, which suspends riders as they face straight down a 96-degree, beyond-vertical drop, before they plummet an exhilarating 171 feet.

“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,” said Park President John Krajnak. “Wrath of Rakshasa joins our already impressive lineup of record-breaking roller coasters and attractions at the park, demonstrating our commitment to delivering cutting-edge experiences for our guests.”

Wrath of Rakshasa highlights include:

Three sleek trains with three rows of passengers seated seven across;
3,239 feet of soaring track;
Thrilling anticipation while the ride vehicle pauses in a face-first cliffhanger hold before plummeting 171 feet;
A beyond-vertical 96-degree drop,
Five gravity-defying inversions;
Speeds of nearly 67 miles per hour; and,
Wrath of Rakshasa is a custom-designed dive roller coaster created by Bolliger & Mabillard.
