Six Flags Over Texas has revealed plans for a groundbreaking new roller coaster called Tormenta Rampaging Run, scheduled to open for the 2026 season. The ride will be the world’s first Giga Dive coaster, introducing a brand-new category of thrill rides that combines Dive-style vertical drops with the massive scale of a Giga coaster (over 300 feet tall). It stands as one of the largest investments in the park’s history and is already one of the most talked-about attractions coming in 2026.
Tormenta Rampaging Run is engineered to deliver an exceptionally intense experience. The coaster climbs to more than 300 feet before coming to a brief stop at the edge, giving riders a dramatic view as they hang over a near-vertical drop. The Giga Dive format merges extreme height with the signature Dive-coaster drop sequence, creating a ride layout that currently exists nowhere else in the world.
While Six Flags has yet to release the full technical specifications, the park has confirmed that Tormenta Rampaging Run will set multiple global records for Dive coasters, including:
- The tallest Dive coaster ever built
- The fastest in its category
- The longest layout of any Dive coaster worldwide
Six Flags describes the ride as a “generation-defining coaster” designed to elevate the park to a new tier among North American thrill destinations. Guests can expect rapid elevation changes, high-speed turns, and the signature dive pause that creates one of the most suspenseful moments in coaster engineering.
The new attraction will feature a storm-themed aesthetic, with sound and visual effects incorporated into the queue and surrounding area. Construction is underway in the southern section of the park, where the coaster will anchor a partially redeveloped themed zone complete with updated amenities.
Set to debut in summer 2026, Tormenta Rampaging Run is expected to draw coaster enthusiasts from across the country. With Six Flags expanding its lineup of high-impact thrill rides, this new addition positions the park as a major competitor in the global coaster landscape.
Summary
Tormenta Rampaging Run is shaping up to be one of the biggest theme park announcements of 2026. As the world’s first Giga Dive coaster, it sets new standards for height, speed and intensity, and is poised to become a signature attraction at Six Flags Over Texas. Both thrill-seekers and industry watchers will be keeping a close eye on this record-breaking project as it moves toward completion.
