New For 2025 - Wrath of Rakshasa

[Goku1910]

It's actually that last turn that bugs me a bit because it appears to bank, then pauses, and banks again like it was "stretched to fit".

[CoasterRiderSC]

That tight banked turned leading into 5th inversion looks awesome! It's going to put some force on riders!

[Dan The Coaster Man]

Also I just had a thought: how reliable is that conveyor bin system? If it were to go down, does that shut the ride down??

I'm not sure how reliable it is at CanWon, but I've heard that the whole ride does go down if the conveyer goes down. I've spent a few days there and don't remember any downtime for Yukon

A quick one from CCG today.

So it looks like the end of the brake run where the trains will likely stack will be partially covered, so that's nice.

...and for some reason, a train is in the shed despite it not having a roof yet .

New permit (VC6H86) for Wrath that covers the site work, queue line, sound and lighting. Might be a good one to FOIA if you want to see the queue layout.

Wouldn't mind seeing the details of that permit, but I'll be patient.

I was kinda hoping for an elevator ngl. These ramps take up so much space and can be really ugly.

Did someone say, sound?

[BCarroll]

Wow, this pretty much confirms some sort of soundtrack or effects for the ride, unless "sound" is just talking about units for the spiels/station microphones.

Also, there was no commentary in this video, but a drone update posted from yesterday shows that track work is still not complete. It seems to be in the same place as Chicago Coaster Guy's last update. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LC58uKvaqlU

I wonder if we will see it complete this week? With opening day a month away, I would assume they need to get that end taken care of first in order to avoid the park becoming a giant horseshoe with no access point from SWT to County Fair. This is so exciting!

2 months, it's not until May it will open

^ They mean that the park opens in a month

I’m assuming the sound is for speakers throughout the station and queue for announcements and spiels but that doesn’t mean we won’t see any theming sound effects at all. Can’t wait to see the queue take place!

ah ok, i thought he meant Wrath of Rakshasa

[TwistedSTEEL666]

Do we know if any track work has been done yesterday or today?
CCG, do you have another update video coming out soon?

So I spotted that white line running up the lift rails.

Is Rakshasa getting a light package and I just didn't remember it? Could have swore the park confirmed it.

Looks like train 2 is there.

Also, that midway is even more narrow now than it was before. Yikes.

[TwistedSTEEL666]

There looks to be a bottleneck or two with some of the paths by Wrath.
By the last few turns. I wonder if the park will make the path over there a bit wider?

[coasterfanatic]

Looks like today might be the day. The park posted the final track pieces are underway and the trains are being loaded onto the storage track! They posted two photos.

Link to the post to their Instagram. Two new pics.

Per Chicago Coaster Guy, the track work is done.

Video kept cutting out so I didn't see much else, but I would expect landscaping and infrastructure related construction around the midway to ramp up.

The only things I saw was a trench dug by demon Snacks and some roofing pieces being installed. That's either queue related or new foundations for the addition on that building.

Wasn’t planing on going live so I didn’t have the proper tools to do so so it was a bad feed but yes I can confirm the track is finished!!

The permit for queue and site work was approved yesterday as well, can’t wait to see everything come together!

Call me a skeptic…. But I see this opening BEFORE memorial day. Even a soft opening.

I’d be surprised. X Flight was the last to open before Memorial Day and track was completed even earlier than Wrath.

Keep in mind that the park has to also focus on getting everything else ready. So maintenance has to get all the other trains up and ready in addition to Wrath…plus I imagine there won’t be a ton of construction going on when the park is open.
