Six Flags Over Texas Unveils ‘Tormenta Rampaging Run,’ the First Giga Dive Coaster, Opening in 2026

The B&M-designed ride will headline a new Spain-themed area for the park’s 65th anniversary.

Overview

  • Six Flags says the coaster will set six records: tallest dive coaster at 309 feet, fastest at 87 mph, longest at 4,199 feet, tallest vertical loop at 179 feet, highest Immelmann at 218 feet, and a 285-foot, 95-degree drop.
  • Themed to Spain’s running of the bulls, the attraction will anchor the Rancho de la Tormenta area with a new restaurant, Cocina Abuela.
  • Bolliger & Mabillard is designing the ride, and its president describes it as a new category that blends giga-scale height with dive-coaster elements.
  • Construction is underway and official renderings were released, but the park has not announced a specific 2026 opening date.
  • PETA criticized the bull-run motif and urged the park to change the theme, and Six Flags had not publicly responded at the time of reporting.
