The wait is finally over as Six Flags Over Texas is set to unleash Tormenta: Rampaging Run on Thursday, July 9. As the tallest, fastest, longest and first-ever giga (300+-foot-tall) dive coaster in the world, this one-of-a-kind thrill ride will trample six monumental world records. 

Themed after the exhilarating power and strength of the legendary bull, the park’s newest signature attraction towers over a new Spanish village called Rancho de la Tormenta, located in the park’s Spain area.

Daring villagers are carried 309 feet above the ground, giving them a breathtaking and panoramic view of Arlington, the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex and Six Flags Over Texas far below. Just before the terrifying 285-foot first drop, the train pauses over the edge for three seconds, giving riders a new sense of fear as they stare straight down at the world below. After what feels like an eternity, Tormenta begins its Rampaging Run, speeding through a tall and twisted layout.
