Six Flags Over Texas Completes 179-Foot Loop, Touted as World’s Tallest, for Tormenta Coaster

The B&M-designed dive coaster is slated to open later this year.

Overview

  • Park staff marked the milestone with a countdown led by manager Mark Boyer as the newly finished loop was lit in red and visible for miles.
  • Six Flags says Tormenta Rampaging Run is now past the halfway point of vertical construction and remains on track to debut later in 2026.
  • The park claims six world records for the ride: tallest dive coaster at 309 feet, a 285-foot beyond–95-degree drop, fastest dive coaster at 87 mph, highest Immelmann at 218 feet, tallest vertical loop at 179 feet, and longest dive coaster at 4,199 feet.
  • Designed by Swiss manufacturer Bolliger & Mabillard, the project is presented as the first and only giga (300+ foot) dive coaster.
  • Six Flags compares the structure’s scale to landmarks, saying it stands taller than nearby AT&T Stadium and the Statue of Liberty from ground to torch.
