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

Six Flags Great America decided that they wanted something a bit more intense for their dive coaster so Dr. Diabolical headed south and Six Flags Great America waited until the time, and the ride design was just right.

For decades Bolliger & Mabillard have been the best of the best in the steel coaster world. Their rides have always been thrilling, super reliable, crowd pleasers, and smooth.

When a park installed a coaster by B&M it was pretty much a home run.

The thing is with the new coasters that B&M were installing for the 2025 season things didn't seem right. The first issue was when Kings Dominion showed footage of their new launched wing coaster testing. On a completely straight launch track you could see the cars bouncing as they sped by. When that ride opened word got out quickly that it had a bunch of vibration making parts of it pretty rough.

When Wrath of Rakshasa opened word quickly got around the avoid the outside seats. If you wanted a smooth ride, you know the kind of ride that B&M coasters were known for sit as far to the middle of the train as possible.
