The Arlington park says the B&M-designed ride will pursue six world records with a 309-foot peak plus a beyond-vertical 285-foot drop.

Overview

  • Six Flags says Tormenta will be the tallest, fastest and longest dive coaster and the first-and-only giga dive coaster to date.
  • Published specs list a top speed of 87 mph, 4,199 feet of track, five inversions, and 8-across trains in three rows.
  • The layout includes a 179-foot vertical loop and a 218-foot Immelmann inversion, which the park claims are world records.
  • The park positions the project as B&M’s second-tallest coaster after Fury 325 at Carowinds.
  • The coaster is slated to debut in 2026 for the park’s 65th anniversary, anchoring a new Rancho de la Tormenta area with the Cocina Abuela restaurant in the Spain section.
