If you've ever looked at a roller coaster and thought, "Yes, I want to defy gravity and possibly my lunch," this might be your moment.

Set to be the steepest and most inverted dive coaster in the world, this beast boasts a 96-degree beyond-vertical drop and five inversions. And here's the catch that knocked me right off my high horse: applicants must be able to ride it "repeatedly for an extended amount of time."
Yesh... no. I used to be that guy. First in line, arms up, screaming with joy. Now? I hold my family's phones, bags, and dignity at the exit while they ride.
BIG UPDATE: Wrath of Rakshasa completed its first full test cycle
How to Apply (If You Dare)
The shoot is volunteer-only and takes place Tuesday, May 20, from 12-5 p.m., according to nbcchicago.com. You won't get paid, but you'll earn some major bragging rights and a free ticket to use anytime before September 1, 2025.
Must be 52 inches tall, coaster-eligible, and ready to loop until you forget what day it is.
⚠️ Apply TODAY Only, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. ⚠️
This is a one-day-only window, so don't miss it. Keep an eye on the Six Flags Great America Facebook page, and good luck, you thrill-hungry maniacs. I'll be at the exit holding purses.
