Tormenta Rampaging Run is the world’s first giga dive coaster

Six Flags Over Texas is set to open the world’s tallest, fastest and longest dive coaster, named Tormenta Rampaging Run, in 2026.

Designed by Bolliger & Mabillard, Tormenta Rampaging Run will also be the world’s first giga dive coaster, meaning it will stand at more than 300 feet tall.

Themed after the running of the bulls in Spain, the new coaster will tower over a new Spanish village called Rancho de la Tormenta and the new Cocina Abuela restaurant.

The Spanish village will be an immersive area with colourful decor and Spanish music, while Cocina Abuela will serve dishes like Spanish rice, patatas bravas, and chicken tinga.

“Six Flags Over Texas has always been a leader in creating unforgettable experiences, and with Tormenta Rampaging Run we are soaring to new heights,” said Mark Boyer, VP and park manager for Six Flags Over Texas.

“This coaster is a true testament to our commitment to providing world-class thrills and innovation, and we can’t wait to bring this historic ride to life in 2026.”

During the ride experience, guests will be lifted to a height of 309 feet, before being plunged into a record-breaking 95-degree, beyond vertical drop.

As the world’s fastest and longest dive coaster, Tormenta Rampaging Run will feature top speeds of 87 mph and span 4,199 feet.

Highlights also include the world’s tallest vertical coaster loop at 179 feet, and the highest-ever Immelmann inversion at 218 feet.

“As the world’s first giga dive coaster, Tormenta Rampaging Run introduces a completely new ride category, blending giga coaster heights with the fun and thrill of a dive coaster,” said Sophie Bolliger, president of Bolliger & Mabillard.

“This level of innovation sets new standards for the theme park industry and our company is honored to be part of this historic moment with Six Flags.”
