I think you guys are getting off topic talking about a ride that is no longer at the park.
This thread is supposed to be about Wrath of Rakshasa, remember?
Anyway, the weekend is a really good opportunity for the lift hill to be topped off.
The weather doesn't look to be too bad.
I hope they can top it off this weekend and B&MGuy35 gets another update video on YouTube soon!

New For 2025 - Wrath of Raksasha

Depending on how fast those next two sets of supports go up, I expect a top off by the end of next week.
It’d be nice to see it get topped off this weekend but not sure if they work weekends. I’m sure they weren’t able to get much done today due to the nasty weather.
Coming from someone who knows nothing about coaster construction, is there a reason some of the footers haven’t been poured? Does it have to be a certain temperature for the concrete to cure properly? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Temperature mostly. 20 degree range isn't great for Concrete.
I'm still skeptical that they will work in order of travel despite that being the usual for B&M. "I've been told that some part of every wish will be heard but lately I lost sight of the truth in those words."
Agreed! & we're back. I know a few of us have brought it up several times but it really is wild that no matter how many times I look at this coaster being built I'm still in shock on how it's all going to fit. I cannot wait to see this mess of track come together.
Here is the status of RAK construction from outside of the park as of 1/12/2025.

Looks like my guess was right, at this rate we will see a top off by next week. Only one support and two track pieces to reach the top of the lift.
Assuming we're not counting the turn and holding brake for the drop, that is.  Edit: this week, it's Sunday. Derp. "I've been told that some part of every wish will be heard but lately I lost sight of the truth in those words."

It’s going to be awesome being able to see it dive right from the entrance!! They chose a perfect place for it.

Shot from today’s flight! Update tonight at 7PM CST! I’ve cropped the photo a bit to hide something that you’ll have to
tune in and find out what exactly it is.  Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Bottom of the drop is up, so it looks like they will work they're way up while continuing to the top of the lift.
Since it has a diagonal support, that will probably come last. "I've been told that some part of every wish will be heard but lately I lost sight of the truth in those words."
Demon Snacks just looks so out of place under Rak.......

She's huge already!
I'm sure, almost positive that little building under her will get a facelift, don't worry.

Well, anybody who passes by SFGAm on I-294 or Grand Ave/Washington Ave will now see her sticking out like a sore thumb and will know to come to the park when it opens later this year.
I bet Rak will have 3 or 4 hour lines this year. Antonio Aguilera https://www.facebook.com/BEAMER3K http://beamer3k.deviantart.com/ View my artwork. Check out my YouTube Gamer channel. NRG-FLO Gaming. https://www.youtube.com/@NRGFLOGaming
That blue track just pops irl. Can’t wait to see the menacing beyond vertical drop installed! That’s going to freak out the general public for sure. Yep, 3-4 hour lines seem possible especially since that in-line locker system is brand new to our park and will likely slow things down.

More Bull time for me then Old Great America was better, however I hope just a bit of that charm comes back
No doubt, Wrath will be a smash hit with the general public. It probably won't happen. But I would love to see them do a cheesy 70's style song for wrath like they did for Demon
Will we be allowed to use zippered pockets?? Single Day Ride Count Record

Pretty sure that was asked and they mentioned policies would be similar to Dr Diabolical.
So..... No.
I thought you only ride Whizzer, Demon and Eagle? Single Day Ride Count Record
