[@Sonic-gy7kq]

No dive no dive no dive 😭 all those meefks saying axis coaster are going to hell😭

[@multilaunchmadness]

I prey

[@3cviW]

if its anything like dr diabolical we will be just fine

[@mynameiskrysta]

Girl there’s vests. That’s a GUARANTEED rattle

[@3cviW]

@@mynameiskrysta not guaranteed, plus the vests arent the biggest deal itw

[@holbrooke7]

And they didn't have to get rid of the Demon for this! Can't wait!

[@mrbusinessman9688]

Am I the only one that hears the prowler theme at the beginning?

[@JBThrills]

I hear it too 😂

[@TheClimb-JK]

This park needs a BIG rollercoaster. Top 10 in the US. There's nothing here that even comes close to the best 4 / 5 rides at Cedar Point just a few hours away. I haven't been to this park since 2018.

[@ChuckE.CheesesIllinois]

Guys, Great America remember their password!

[@SwitchAnimationsGacha]

Lookin so sick I love the blue

[@plighting_coasters]

This looks amazing! Thank you so much Great America! This looks like a really good dive coaster - I'm so glad it's not just a Dr. Diabolical clone! I really hope Six Flags comes through with the theming to make it a full experience. We'll have to see in 2025! So excited!

[@PhongNguyen-po2zi]

six flags and theming are 2 words that generally don't go together.

[@Sonic-gy7kq]

Realistically they couldn’t clone it even if they wanted to. Where they gonna have space for an exact clone at this park

[@plighting_engineerd]

@@PhongNguyen-po2zi This is true, but if you look at Dr. Diabolical at Fiesta Texas, that is super intricately themed in the queue. Six Flags also built an entire themed land at Great America back in the 90s, so I am holding out some hope. Edit: also at the press conference, the park president said they were working with a designer to help with the entrance portal and station, and they’d like to have some audio elements - they said they think they want to do it up pretty big and do “as much as we can pull off”

[@plighting_coasters]

@@Sonic-gy7kq In the 11am press conference, the Great America park president said that Dr. Diabolical was designed for here, but went to Fiesta Texas. Here's the exact quote from him: "Dr. Diabolical - that ride was designed for this space _(gesturing to behind him at SFGAm)_ So, we- they got it, but we're stepping up and going a little bit bigger and stronger."

[@simplestu9449]

Park president did say he wants to heavily theme this ride, so we’ll see.

[@brianschulz7833]

So excited for this! I think it’ll be a genuine contender for the best dive coaster layout. That drop should be great, and the interlocking zero-g rolls are a really unique touch as well.

[@missionunknown8]

The correct term for the element is the demonic knot. b&m originally put the element on one of their wing coasters

[@Pepperpants_Coasters]

yay new coaster!

[@DieHardKellzFan]

Thank God! But I hope they rebuild the stone walls when you go through the double loops. Plus they should turn the break neck corkscrews into drops

[@WiscoDufflebaggers]

Only 5 inversions? The ghost of Shockwave says "rookie, hold my beer".

[@LuxuryTrenches]

Giga next?

[@jjt7807]

Amazing!🙌

[@leroy5202]

Hmm, hopefully it is fun. My personal experience riding Valraven twice has been lackluster compared to rides such as Raging Bull, Maverick, and Goliath, where you are able to feel more free, and really feel the airtime and other elements.

[@juels_tophat_shenanigans]

Fear the Wrath! I'm so excited for this! Well done Six Flags Great America! :D

[@legendbaon8752]

Better not have a rattle

[@MattPerk7]

I am looking forward to riding this. When can we get a virtual on ride POV from start to finish of the ride?

[@CoasterRushers]

Never… 😂

[@UnownArceus]

Good job to whoever designed this! :D

[@syedquadri3922]

They not only named it after the Indian demon but also added South Indian Action BGM to it... 😄.. Close to KGF hahahaha. Nice one

[@DaveysWonderfulWorld]

I’m so excited for this ride. I just can’t wait for that freefall at a 96 vertical angle

[@earor]

Bro I was looking forward to the vekoma tilt but this is also cool ig.

[@nola-]

omg can't wait to ride it!!!

[@RollingRollercoasters]

Can’t wait to ride in 2025!

[@hellacia8151]

Can you make sure this opens without a rattle?

[@bullresay]

demon save :D

[@officialsamstermadness]

That ride looks insane! :O

[@EarthySmerky]

A DIVE COASTERRRRR

[@EasportsItsinthegame666]

A dive coaster arriving 25 years late with a name and no theme smack down next to demon. Six flags is just a parking lot with no epic coasters.

[@BalloonChica.]

Yoo we coming back in 2025!!!

[@Random_Eebs]

Bolliger & Mabillard masterclass

[@alejandrocastrejon4419]

Damn only took yall a year for u guys to post something on ur KZbin channel

[@EggSTOCK]

Yayayay another year (decade more like it) of six flags absolutely ignoring six flags over texas (haven't gotten a proper new no water roller coaster from the ground up in almost 2 decades btw)

[@Tipsuns]

can we get a pov pls

[@therealkevinhart3053]

FIRST

[@Sonic-gy7kq]

If this has a rattle it’s gonna be cooked in the public’s view

[@mitchellries256]

Who or what is Rakshasa?

[@brandoncole5533]

Hindu demon

[@RoadrunnerMoose]

Demon of Hindu faith

[@lorengorsline1395]

OWL

[@TheClimb-JK]

The theme feels very out of place too

[@RoadrunnerMoose]

World's most inversions with 5 total? That, friend is false advertisement. That's not even halfway to the REAL record holder which has 14 (The Smiler). This isn't even the most inversions in the Six Flags chain. In the chain alone, this gets beaten out by a whoppin TWELVE coasters, post merger. THIRTEEN if you include the other new coaster at Canada's Wonderland opening next year which has NINE!

[@julian.mm2]

They meant most inversions on a dive coaster

[@RoadrunnerMoose]

@@julian.mm2 Well, they should've been more specific

[@Bedsy98_savior]

​@@RoadrunnerMoose it was implied

[@chicagomycity]

Ehh. Inversions are overrated and have less "replay value" after you rode it once. I prefer more air time (hills) . It's sad that hyper coasters like the Raging Bull have gone out of style. It's a reason Raging Bull is still the most popular ride in that park. Because the smooth hills are exciting everytime.
