Tormenta Rampaging Run: Six World Records and the Bull That Brought Them

August 17, 2026

Let's get one thing straight: Bolliger & Mabillard doesn't screw around. When the Swiss coaster gods decide to build a dive coaster that scrapes 309 feet into the Texas sky, you don't get a ride — you get a declaration of war against gravity. And Tormenta Rampaging Run, the new beast at Six Flags Over Texas, brings six world records to Arlington like a bull who's decided today is the day he flips the matador.

The numbers are absurd. 309 feet tall. A 285-foot drop at 95 degrees — that's beyond vertical, which in any sane universe should be illegal. 87 miles per hour through a layout that includes a 218-foot Immelmann loop (tallest inversion ever on a dive coaster), a 179-foot vertical loop, and enough track to make you forget which way is up. It's the tallest, fastest, longest, and first-ever giga dive coaster in the world, and it holds those records by margins that leave everything else in the dust.

B&M knows how to do one thing better than anyone: that agonizing three-second hold at the edge. You crest 309 feet, the Texas sun beats down, and the train pauses like it's reconsidering its life choices. Then it tips over. The 95-degree drop is a gut-punch that doesn't let up — the first time you ride it, you'll forget to breathe until you're already through the Immelmann.

Here's the wild part: it's visible from the highway. Driving down State Highway 360 toward Dallas-Fort Worth, you see this thing dominating the skyline alongside AT&T Stadium and Globe Life Field. It's a flex. Six Flags looked at a skyline already defined by Jerry World and said, "Hold my beer — watch this."

Sure, Legoland Florida opened Galacticoaster this year and it's a fun little indoor spin for the kids. And Bakunawa at Six Flags Great Adventure broke its own set of records. But Tormenta is different. It's a dive coaster that laughs at the category's limits. It redefines what a giga coaster can be by combining the gut-wrenching suspense of a dive with the relentless pace of a full-sized layout.

The bull imagery isn't just marketing fluff either. The whole thing is themed around a rampaging bull tearing through a village, and the theming punches above Six Flags' usual weight class. There's actual story here — not just a station and a lift hill crammed between a food court and a gift shop.

If you're anywhere near Texas, this is the coaster to ride this year. The rest of the 2026 class is strong — Universal's Hollywood Drift, Legoland's Galacticoaster, the Falcon's Flight outlier in Saudi Arabia — but Tormenta is the one that'll have enthusiasts arguing about "best dive coaster ever" for the next decade.

Six Flags Over Texas, 2026. Six records. One bull. Go ride it.
