Get ready for an adrenaline-pumping adventure at Six Flags Great America in Gurnee, Illinois! The park has unveiled plans to introduce a brand-new dive coaster called Wrath of Rakshasa, which is set to break not one but two Guinness World Records.
World-Record Breaking Features

The Wrath of Rakshasa will take riders on a thrilling journey that begins with a heart-pounding 90-degree drop, plunging them straight down from a towering height.
But that's not all! The coaster will then twist and turn through seven gravity-defying inversions, including a cobra roll, zero-g roll, and a dive loop. The combination of the steep drop and numerous inversions is sure to leave riders breathless.
State-of-the-Art Technology
Six Flags has partnered with renowned roller coaster manufacturer Bolliger & Mabillard (B&M) to bring Wrath of Rakshasa to life. B&M is known for its innovative designs and impeccable safety record.
The coaster will feature a cutting-edge magnetic launch system that will propel riders from 0 to 60 mph in just a few seconds. It will also be equipped with state-of-the-art braking systems to ensure a smooth and comfortable ride.
Thrilling Addition to Six Flags Great America
Wrath of Rakshasa will be the tallest and fastest dive coaster at Six Flags Great America. It will join an impressive lineup of roller coasters, including Goliath, X-Flight, and The Great American Scream Machine.
The new coaster is expected to be a major attraction for the park, drawing thrill-seekers from all over the region. It is scheduled to debut in spring 2023.
