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
I thought you only ride Whizzer, Demon and Eagle?
I do Viper and Bull as well, Bull is the best coaster overall
Old Great America was better, however I hope just a bit of that charm comes back

So..... No.
Probably to absolutely ensure no objects are dropped from the trains....
Exactly. I'm fairly certain someone asked about this at the reveal. Due to it going over the midway several times, it's going to have the most strict loose article policy of any ride in the park.
I was going to commit to it anyway, but now with the probability of 3-4 hour lines, I feel that Operation: FRR (First Rakshasa Rider) is more vital than ever. Operation: FRR is my "master" plan to hop onto the first public train. I'm currently planning everything out to prepare for Opening Day 2025 if Rakshasa opens on Opening Day. The main obstacle will probably be the thousands trying to accomplish the same task.

Wish me luck.
Camp out on opening at 7

Where do people sign up for the commercial shoot? I know some people on here have been to a few of those and I know they’ve went through this before so sorry lol. It’d be awesome to be a part of that for Rak!
That info will not be out for a while. Let's wait til the ride is done & tests. They'll put it out on FB typically but I'm sure that info as usual won't be out for a while.

Marcus Leshock put out some flyover footage of the construction site on his YouTube. He mentions that he will be attending No Coaster Con tomorrow and to leave any questions they have for the park in the comments. Is anyone here going to be attending NCC as well by any chance?
I just watched the video Marcus put up on his YouTube. I noticed a cement truck was at the park. I guess with the nice weather they want to pour more footers in before it gets too cold?
I also look forward to any new info that will be revealed about the ride or the area at No-Coaster Con. So, we'll see.
Marcus pointed out some trenches being dug near where the station will be. Anyone thinking that's where Entry/Exit queues will go and the trenches are for water drainage and electrical?

It looks like they are building the forms for the station footings in the trenches. The permit shows there was a foundation inspection yesterday at 8:30am, so they probably poured the footings after that.

You can ride with things in your zippered pockets on Dr. D. It's not like Universal where there are metal detectors, and it's not like SFGAd where there are security personnel at the lockers yelling at you and asking every single person to pat down their pockets. In my experience, we walked right past the lockers with stuff in our zippered pockets and nobody batted an eye. There was not anyone stationed after the lockers to check.
Of course, it could be different for Wrath. Dr. D does not go over park pathways as aggressively as Wrath will. When I asked John back in August, they were unsure of exact details regarding the lockers. Maybe we will find out more at NCC today

As long as it's not as horrendous as Twisted Timbers at KD. Their loose article/locker policy is honestly outrageous. If it's like Dr. D, Wildcats Revenge, or Velocicoaster, I'll be happy.
Excited to see if any new info, concept art, the POV etc that comes out for WOR today. Keep us updated. I'll be in the air allllll day so I'll be checking on here regularly when I can.
From Marcus’s Twitter! • Wrath will have theming throughout the queue which will be immersive and unique • The ride will have a container conveyor belt system like Yukon Striker • Still hoping to open on Memorial Day In a different photo it looks to be concept art of the gift shop for Wrath.
Wrath of Raksasha progress as of 01/18/2025 - Drop is starting to take shape. The peak, turn, and holding brake section, along with the rest of the drop, are staged in the employee lot.
Interesting 180 pivoting from lockers to the Yukon Striker method. I've never personally used the bins on Yukon Striker as I keep everything in my pocket but it seems to be a good method. The big drawback is liquids - many times people do not empty out their cups and it gets bins and belongings wet. I've always wondered why more parks have not implemented this system.
Interested to see the queue theming. Interested to see where the queue is going at all

Those bins while useful are so ...blah looking, just makes it all look clustered & the beverages/cups are an issue time to time. Maybe ours will have cup holders

Agreed, they are kinda "ugly". I do think Yukon has cup holders, but it doesn't really matter when drinks are full and tilted 45 degrees
