A ferocious blood-thirsty demon will dangle riders over a sheer cliffhanger drop before sending them racing through his lair on a new roller coaster that opens this week at a Chicago-area amusement park.

The Wrath of Rakshasa floorless dive coaster officially debuts on Saturday, May 31 at Six Flags Great America in Illinois.

Wrath of Rakshasa will be the steepest dive coaster in the world with the most inversions of any ride of its kind.

The 180-foot-tall Bolliger & Mabillard dive coaster will feature a 96-degree beyond-vertical first drop that will send riders racing 67 mph through five inversions over 3,239 feet of steel track.

Following the first drop, Wrath of Rakshasa riders will navigate five inversions: Immelmann, dive loop, zero-G roll, corkscrew and barrel roll, according to Roller Coaster Database . The ride concludes with a series of tight, ground-hugging twists and turns.

Dive coasters feature a brief stop at the top of the lift hill that leaves riders dangling over a vertical drop for a few seconds before the brakes are released. The floorless coaster allows riders to dangle their feet with nothing between them and the ground.

The backstory for the new Six Flags coaster finds Rakshasa whispering spine-tingling warnings to riders as they dangle at the cliffhanger precipice of the ride before the demon unleashes his wrath with a blood-curdling roar and sends them racing through his lair.

A shape-shifting Rakshasa demon in Hindu mythology typically has flaming red eyes, fangs, claws and a ferocious bloodlust for human flesh.

Rakshasa’s evil beast fits thematically with the park’s nearby 1976 Demon looping coaster.
