Six Flags Great America in Gurnee has released details of an all-new dive roller coaster launching in 2025.
Dubbed the “Wrath of Rakshasa”, the roller coaster will stand 180 feet tall and boast a record-breaking 96-degree drop. Riders will be suspended on an exhilarating cliffhanger hold before descending a whopping 171 feet. The ride will also feature five inversions and reach 67 miles per hour.
“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.”
According to a statement from the amusement park, “Wrath of Rakshasa” is set to debut sometime next year in the Country Fair section of Six Flags Great America. Visit the park’s official site to take advantage of discounted tickets and learn about 2025 season passes.
