The new for 2025 Wrath of Rakshasa coaster at Six Flags Great America, Gurnee, Illinois

After pausing you at the edge of the first drop, Wrath of Rakshasa sends you down a hundred and seventy two foot drop before you are rocketed away from Earth into the first of the ride's five inversions.

Wrath of Rakshasa sends you upside down in an Immelmann loop that was made famous by the World War I German fighter pilot Max Immelman.

An Immelmann. starts out as a vertical loop that instead of exiting the inversion in the same direction of travel at the top you roll over and exit it in a completely different direction.

Rolling out of the inversion is such a fun feeling.

Rocketing up into the sky, slowly rolling out of an inversion with a little hang time and then plummeting back down is such a wonderful mix of sensations that makes the Immelmann my favorite inversion.
