The lift hill of Tormenta Rampaging Run, the giga (300+-foot-tall) dive coaster, reached its peak on December 19. This “topping off” marks the completion of the lift hill that will begin riders’ journey through the running of the bulls at Six Flags Over Texas’ re-imagined Spain area, Rancho de la Tormenta.
Conceived by Six Flags Entertainment Corporation, realized by Bolliger & Mabillard and being brought to life by local construction firm H3 Construction, Tormenta Rampaging Run will take riders to a height of 309 feet before releasing them to experience a beyond vertical drop. The topping off culminated the lift hill and 870 feet of track, including 390 feet for the ascent, 105 feet along the top and the 375-foot descent. Now, workers will set their sights on the remaining 3,000 feet of track to go before the park opens this new attraction to the world next summer.

Six Flags Over Texas 65th Anniversary
The 2026 opening of this roller coaster will be part of an important milestone for Six Flags Over Texas as it celebrates its 65th anniversary. When Six Flags Over Texas opened on Aug. 1, 1961, it marked a new era in family entertainment and set a precedent for future parks. The 65th commemoration will feature new entertainment and food and beverage, ride enhancements, park beautification initiatives and more, making it a historic celebration worthy of the first Six Flags’ original park that started it all.
