Six Flags Over Texas | Tormenta | B&M Dive Coaster | 2026

I'm definitely interested to see how the sightlines shake out as we get to full form. Will still be such an imposing view greeting visitors as they drive into the parking lot - top marks for placement.

Interesting video. Tormenta looks incredible!

This Is Six Flags’ New World’s Tallest Coaster. |Tormenta Rampaging Run|

The lift hill of Tormenta Rampaging Run, the world’s tallest, fastest, longest and first-ever giga (300+-foot-tall) dive coaster, reached its peak early this...

As is ever the problem with big coasters (and more so big B&M's I think) - I think the sense of scale of this is lost. Kinda wild to think most park's flagship/biggest coaster is ~2/3rds this height...!

I was just thinking that too. Like in that photo without any other ride for reference it doesn't look any bigger than say, SheiKra

I think you need to have other things there to really gain a frame of reference. Just having the ride there in isolation makes it look like a regular wide Dive Coaster.

It is mad to think that we’re finally getting a giga dive coaster, though! Does anyone remember the Yukon Striker construction thread where that YouTuber was doggedly suggesting that that would be one? I bet he finally feels vindicated!

I don't think he's been to any park other than Canada's Wonderland, so you know he's absolutely raging about this.

Is it just me, or does that look sharper than a normal immelmann? I feel like the top is weirdly narrow.

It does look pretty sharp.

For some reason, I still think these look ever so slightly odd with a beyond vertical drop.

I don’t know why; perhaps it’s just having gotten used to the 90° drop on so many over the years?

I wonder if this is a train momentum thing. These trains tend to lose a lot of speed, so maybe they're tightening the top up a lot more to account for this. Something perhaps so visible here due to the scale.
