GURNEE, Ill. (WLS) -- Six Flags Great America unveiled plans for a new rollercoaster that will feature a beyond-vertical drop.
The new dive coaster, Wrath of Rakshasa, will feature a 171-foot drop at a 96 degree angle, with a cliffhanger just before the drop.
"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."
Wrath of Rakshasa will feature five inversions and speeds of nearly 67-miles-per-hour.
