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.
