Six Flags Over Texas tops off its record-breaking Tormenta coaster, set to open in 2026, promising to smash six world records.

ARLINGTON, Texas — The lift hill for Tormenta Rampaging Run, billed as the world’s tallest, fastest and longest dive coaster, reached its full height Friday at Six Flags Over Texas.

The topping off marks a major construction milestone for the park’s newest record-breaking dive coaster set to open in 2026.

It completes the lift hill of the coaster, which will rise 309 feet above the park before sending riders into a beyond-vertical drop themed to the running of the bulls. Tormenta Rampaging Run is the first-ever giga dive coaster, defined by a height of more than 300 feet, and will anchor the park’s re-imagined Spain area, Rancho de la Tormenta.

Tormenta is themed after the Spanish tradition of the running of the bulls. Each train has three rows of eight seats, fitting 24 riders per trip. 

According to the theme park, the coaster will break six world records:

Its height, 309 feet, will make it the tallest dive coaster. Reaching a speed of 87 miles per hour, it will also be the fastest dive coaster on the planet. It will be the longest dive coaster, spanning 4,199 feet. The coaster will also break the record for the tallest vertical loop on any coaster, reaching 179 feet. It will have the highest Immelmann inversion, taking riders upside down at 218 feet. Its vertical drop will be the highest beyond vertical drop on any coaster. 

With the lift hill now finished, crews will move on to installing the remaining 3,000 feet of track ahead of the attraction’s planned opening next summer. Once complete, the ride is expected to become a defining feature of the park and a prominent addition to the Arlington skyline in 2026.

A symbolic element of the coaster is already in place. During the Tormenta Rampaging Run announcement event in September, attendees were invited to sign a section of track. That signed piece was among the first installed on the ascent and will remain a permanent part of the ride.
