Tormenta Rampaging Run at Six Flags Over Texas Topped Off

The lift hill of Tormenta Rampaging Run, the world’s tallest, fastest, longest, and first-ever giga (300+-foot-tall) dive coaster, reached its peak early this morning. This “topping off” marks the completion of the lift hill that will begin riders’ journey through the running of the bulls at Six Flags Over Texas’ re-imagined Spain area, Rancho de la Tormenta.

Conceived by Six Flags Entertainment Corporation, realized by Bolliger & Mabillard, and brought to life by local construction firm H3 Construction, Tormenta Rampaging Run will take riders to a height of 309 feet before releasing them to experience a beyond-vertical drop. Today’s topping off culminated the lift hill and 870′ of track, including 390′ for the ascent, 105′ along the top, and the 375′ descent. Now, workers will set their sights on the remaining 3,000 feet of track to go before the park opens this thrilling new attraction to the world this summer.

Once open, Tormenta Rampaging Run will take history by the horns as the record-breaking, adrenaline-pumping roller coaster is set to redefine the thrill-seeker experience while changing the Arlington skyline in 2026.

• Tallest Dive Coaster: Soaring to an epic height of 309 feet, Tormenta Rampaging Run will give riders a heart-stopping view of the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex area before plunging them into a high-speed descent.
• Fastest Dive Coaster: Reaching a thrilling speed of 87 mph, Tormenta Rampaging Run will be the fastest dive coaster on the planet, ensuring an experience that delivers pure excitement from the first moment to the last.
• Longest Dive Coaster: Spanning 4,199 feet, this ride will offer an extended journey full of airtime (weightless) moments, sharp turns and exhilarating drops that will make riders feel like they are bull runners.
• Tallest Vertical Coaster Loop: At 179 feet, the loop on this coaster will be the highest of any coaster, of any type, in the world.
• Highest Immelmann Inversion: Being upside down at 218 feet will become a must for thrill-seekers and roller coaster enthusiasts from around the world.
• Highest 95-Degree Beyond Vertical Drop: Without warning, the train will release, dropping riders a record 285 feet down at a beyond-vertical 95 degrees

During the Tormenta Rampaging Run announcement event in September 2025, attendees were invited to sign a piece of the track. That piece is one of the first to be installed at the ascent and will be an integral part of this epic new attraction.

The 2026 opening of this multi-record-breaking roller coaster will be part of an important milestone for Six Flags Over Texas as it celebrates its 65th anniversary. When Six Flags Over Texas opened on Aug. 1, 1961, it marked a new era in family entertainment and set a precedent for future parks. The 65th commemoration will feature new entertainment and food and beverage, ride enhancements, park beautification initiatives, and more, making it a historic celebration worthy of the first Six Flags’ original park that started it all.
