Six Flags Great America announces Wrath of Rakshasa dive roller coaster

LostKause:
Easy solution... move those turnstiles to the entrance of the station, like at every other amusement park. Get exiting riders out of the way as quickly as possible.

I can not say whether this is entirely a new thing since the merger, but on several rides, the ride ops had the "non-turnstyle" exit opened up and were not forcing everyone through the turnstyle on every ride. This was not on all rides, but on at least a few of the coasters they seemed to be trying to get people out of the station faster. (I think this was Raging Bull, which it certainly would make sense with 3 trains.)

^Every little bit helps! The jam-ups at Great America exits are horrible (or any Six Flags for that matter).

^^Travis, if you put all that in writing for the park - in a very nice and constructive way (which you are great at) - you might be able to help improve the park! You are spot on with everything.

You'd have to help me. You're the one who pointed some of that stuff out to me.

Given that Wrath is in County Fair, I am feeling like Great America missed out on giving this coaster a better concept by going for some sort of stunt biplane theme you’d see at county fairs back in the early 1900’s. The trains being so wide already have the feel of a biplane and the unique layout with multiple inversions just makes the concept work better than the name Wrath of Rakshasa.

I call it Rock-Sheikra. Easy to remember.

I really hope one thing new SF does is some pre-SF nostalgia digging like they have done for the CF parks. Though admittedly the 50th at GrAdv was kinda this just without a proper budget.
