Six Flags Over Texas is pulling out all the stops for its 65th anniversary in 2026 with a bold new addition set to change the roller coaster landscape. The park has officially revealed Tormenta Rampaging Run, a record-breaking “giga dive” coaster, to anchor a brand-new themed area.
What is Tormenta Rampaging Run?
Tormenta is being billed as a first-of-its-kind ride that merges the intensity of a dive coaster with the scale of a giga coaster. Key specs and features include:
- Height: 309 ft
- Top Speed: 87 mph
- Track Length: 4,199 ft
- Drop: a 95° beyond-vertical plunge from 285 ft
The ride is designed by Bolliger & Mabillard (B&M), with the company itself describing it as a new “ride category” — blending giga heights (300+ ft) with the dramatic drop and stall elements of dive coasters.
Six Flags Over Texas is no stranger to ambitious coaster additions, but Tormenta’s scale marks a major leap forward. It demonstrates the park’s intention to stay competitive in the modern theme park world, where “record-breaking” features often become a key selling point.
Having already removed older attractions like La Vibora, the park is signaling a clear pivot: invest in big-ticket, crowd-pulling new coasters. Many fans are watching closely to see if Tormenta lives up to its bold promises once it launches.
If you want, I can tailor the article further (e.g. for a coaster fan audience, general park-goers, or a media press-release style). Do you want me to refine it for your specific audience?
The exact opening date in 2026 has not been announced.
