Six Flags Over Texas unveils the train for its record-breaking Tormenta coaster, set to open in 2026, promising to smash six world records.<\/p>\n

ARLINGTON, Texas \u2014 Six Flags Over Texas gave fans a sneak peek Tuesday at the train for Tormenta Rampaging Run, their new record-breaking dive coaster set to open in 2026.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The reveal happened both at the park in Arlington and at the IAAPA Expo in Orlando, and it\u2019s safe to say coaster enthusiasts are already buzzing.<\/p>\n

Announced back in September<\/a>, Tormenta is being billed as the world\u2019s first \u201cgiga dive coaster\u201d and is expected to smash six world records, including the tallest, fastest, and longest dive coaster in the world. With the train now on display and track installation well underway, the ride is starting to come to life in a big way.<\/p>\n


\n \"\"<\/p>\n

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. The cars are sculpted with flowing lines to evoke the bulls and the runners, with vibrant colors inspired by the legend of the bull \u201cTormenta\u201d and its community.<\/p>\n

The ride will sit in \u201cRancha do la Tormenta,\u201d a reimagined Spanish village. Riders will board in a barn-style station and strap in on trains with a white chassis representing the runners\u2019 traditional attire, while red harnesses pay homage to the festival\u2019s neckerchiefs and sashes.\u00a0<\/p>\n


\n \"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cTormenta Rampaging Run represents a new era of innovation and storytelling for our park,\u201d said Mark Boyer, Six Flags Over Texas\u2019 VP and park manager. \u201cThe reveal of this train gives our guests a first look at the craftsmanship and immersive experience that will define a trip to Six Flags Over Texas when the ride opens next year.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to the theme park, the coaster will break six world records:<\/p>\n

Its height, 309 feet, will make it the tallest dive coaster.\u00a0Reaching a speed of 87 miles per hour, it will also be the fastest dive coaster on the planet.\u00a0It will be the longest dive coaster, spanning 4,199 feet.\u00a0The coaster will also break the record for the tallest vertical loop on any coaster, reaching 179 feet.\u00a0It will have the highest\u00a0Immelmann inversion<\/a>, taking riders upside down at 218 feet.\u00a0Its vertical drop will be the highest beyond vertical drop on any coaster.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

Construction is still underway, but track is going up, and a \u201ctopping off\u201d milestone is just around the corner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Six Flags Over Texas unveils the train for its record-breaking Tormenta coaster, set to open in 2026, promising…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":55578,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[150,152,151],"class_list":{"0":"post-55577","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-arlington","8":"tag-arlington","9":"tag-arlington-headlines","10":"tag-arlington-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/55577","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=55577"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/55577\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/55578"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=55577"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=55577"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=55577"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
