Noticed that the thread doesn't have a header image yet, so I did the aforementioned bit of photoshop. Hopefully this is good enough!

NoCoasterCon update from Marcus Leshock:
SIX FLAGS GREAT AMERICA
@SFGreat_America updates from #NoCoasterCon! Starting with their new dive coaster WRATH OF RAKSHASA: More theming is coming for the ride, including theming throughout the queue that will be unique and immersive!
The ride will not require putting your belongings into a locker, instead it will use the conveyer system similar to what Canada’s Wonderland has on their dive coaster Yukon Striker.
Still no official opening date, but they still hope to have WRATH open by Memorial Day.
We got an exclusive look at the full POV of the ride. The pacing looks amazing! There are no block breaks so it keeps cooking the entire time. The inversions look slick. Look for this video to be released soon!

I hope the queue is as immersive as Dr. Diabolical at Fiesta Texas. Really helps even out the queue line and keep things moving. They utilize lockers, but I'm excited to see the conveyor system utilized.
I absolutely love the layout and placement. Making the track go over and then under the the lift hill area before the station return is bananas.
That dive loop… holy shit. That’s gonna be INTENSE.
The placement of that dive loop, right up against XFlight's dive loop, is brilliant. I'm particularly interested in this next inversion, ~450-degree-zero-g-Rakshasa-roll or whatever they'll call it.
There was a construction tour today.

Thanks to SFGAM_Hog for getting a copy of the Site Work Plans.
Seems assumed opening window is June 20th based on the parks event schedule. There’s a placeholder event with no info called “Wrath of Rakshasa”. News story that dropped yesterday said they’re still targeting early summer and that’s basically the first day of summer
