Overview
- Six Flags Over Texas confirmed the new coaster will open on Friday, June 26, marking the latest milestone in the park’s multi‑year redevelopment.
- The park and designer Bolliger & Mabillard say Tormenta will introduce a new ride category and claim six world records, with headline figures of 309 feet tall, 87 mph top speed, and 4,199 feet of track.
- Six Flags describes the ride experience as a 95‑degree, beyond‑vertical initial drop that falls 285 feet and includes a 218‑foot Immelmann inversion plus a 179‑foot vertical loop that the park bills as the tallest of its kind.
- A park rendering shows trains with three rows of eight seats and over‑the‑shoulder restraints, and the coaster will sit at the center of Rancho de la Tormenta, a themed plaza with new dining called Cocina Abuela.
- The project required removing three older attractions—Conquistador, La Vibora and El Diablo—and the park says Tormenta is meant to boost regional attendance and renew the Spain area, though the ride’s record claims await independent industry verification.
