According to some sources, A Rakshasa took on a tiger head demon humanoid "persona" on DND. Idk what the term would be. BUT it's been mentioned several times & can be easily found by a simple google search that a Rakshasa is a shapeshifting Demon often depicted with fangs, claws & glowing red eyes prominently in Hindu mythology.
& even if it were just a Tiger, Kingda Ka is themed after one after all. A tiger doesn't mean it's not going to be a great theme.
Spent a good portion of my morning trying URL's like some of y'all with no luck.
Brought up all the levels on the Twitter photo hoping to find a clue but just confirmed that those are tiger eyes.
For the sake of reading too far into things, unscrambling the date leaves you with 224, 180, and 5
Always cool to see a SFGAmworld veteran show up haha. I see you show up for new coasters, welcome back o7
The photo does look like a tiger, it also looks 3d, like hes facing off screen instead of straight at the camera, maybe this is the logo for the ride? Kinda reminds me of rougarou

Some time, on way to successful, first of steps of all of the steps to being successful steps are hardest of all of the steps to successing.
I showed my bf how many logos/coaster names or trains had "monster eyes" on them & he was like wow they (CF) really like eyes lol so Im going to love if we have these be the front of the train design under everyone's feet. I'm getting so anxious I haven't slept yet.

I got a little bubble in my throat when John said it was going to interact & cross over the midway. Just thought about how happy Hank would have been as he talked about this years upon years ago. Hope you're proud Hank.

Blue and orange! The two track and support colors we didn't have! Its like it finally completed something! New thread time?
It will cross the midway 3 times and we are going to have pathways all under it!!

Over pathways means 100% no loose articles and lockers. We will see how that goes, will it be free lockers like El Toro or paid lockers like Jersey Devil & Kingdaka, FYI, even with free lockers there are constant people complain and not using them, sneaking stuff and arguing with employees. It's even worse on paid lockers. At Gadv they have a permanent security person with the ride ops at the entrance to Kingdaka and Jersey Devil.
How they managed to fit this into the space is amazing. Watching the coaster dive right over the county fair archway is going to be great! Looks like a solid layout!

Would make the experience better overall honestly if operations didn’t have to worry about that.
Side note… at first I hated the fact of a dive coaster… but after I saw NO MID COURSE BREAKS I’m actually really pump about it. On the dives I’ve been on these mid course breaks might be the reason why I hated them. Time will tell, great addition, glad I woke up early on Christmas morning.

Wow, you will really find anything to complain about... Good Lord
Based on the black/red/yellow color scheme of the teasers, and the overall theme the media team pushed connecting Rakshasa to Demon, my head was weirdly set on the track being red or black.
3 coasters (Demon, Rakshasa, X-Flight) all up next to each other, with practically the same color palette, AND having 2/3 be B&Ms—it would have looked a little silly to me. The blue will stand out on the park map perfectly!
