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

Am I right in saying that this will also probably be the tallest and fastest inverting roller coaster in the world?

If I’m not mistaken, there isn’t currently a 300+ft coaster that inverts. I can’t remember what the current tallest and fastest coaster with inversions is off the top of my head (Eejanaika?), but a 309ft Dive Coaster would comfortably beat it on both fronts, I imagine.

There is a park supervisor who posts regularly on FB groups such as Six Flags Over Texas Junkies and Texas Thrillseekers. He has seen the actual layout for the new Giga-Dive. He has seen this particular concept, he says the actual layout is MUCH bigger than what's shown in the concept video! Can you imagine that!!!

Honestly I immediately tried to fact check this but... yeah I reckon so. Spitfire is supposed to hit a top speed of a shade under 80 mph while Yukon Striker, which has a 243 foot drop and is presently still the largest dive coaster, barely clears 80. The giga's all hit around the 90mph mark and it wouldn't be unreasonable to assume a similar benchmark for this.

These pink survey markers near the front entrance appear to be charting the underground power lines in preparation for the new coaster.
