On July 9, 2026, Six Flags Over Texas flipped the switch on the most record-shattering roller coaster the dive-coaster world has ever seen. Tormenta Rampaging Run isn’t just tall — it rewrites six world records in a single ride and invents an entirely new category doing it: the giga dive coaster.
Because it’s a brand-new ride type, the numbers get thrown around a lot online — and some of them, including how many inversions it actually has, have been reported inconsistently. Below is the full, verified breakdown: exact stats, the corrected inversion count, what’s known (and not known) about the g-forces, and everything you need to plan a ride.
Quick Answer
Tormenta Rampaging Run is a Bolliger & Mabillard giga dive coaster at Six Flags Over Texas in Arlington. It stands 309 feet tall, drops 285 feet at a beyond-vertical 95° angle, hits 87 mph, and runs 4,199 feet of track with 4 inversions in about 2 minutes 54 seconds. It opened July 9, 2026, as the world’s first coaster to combine giga-coaster height (300–399 ft) with dive-coaster mechanics.
How Many Inversions Does Tormenta Have?
Tormenta Rampaging Run has four inversions, not five. Early coverage (including earlier versions of this article) cited five, but the ride’s official record database listing, Wikipedia, and Coasterpedia all confirm four: the record-setting 218-foot Immelmann right off the first drop, the record-setting 179-foot vertical loop that follows, a third inversion that flows out of the loop, and a final, smaller inversion just before the train rolls into the mid-course brake run.
That confusion is easy to understand — the ride also includes a near-vertical stall and a cutback maneuver around the first-drop tower that aren’t technically inversions but feel just as disorienting. The two records that matter most, though, aren’t about the total count: they’re the tallest Immelmann ever built and the tallest vertical loop ever built, both on this one layout.
The 95-Degree Drop, Explained
A 90° drop is straight down. Tormenta’s first drop goes 5 degrees past that, at 95° beyond vertical, so riders are tipped slightly backward over the edge before release — staring not just down, but past-vertical down. Dive coaster models are built specifically around this moment: the train stops right at the crest and holds for about three seconds before the floor drops out.
The drop itself covers 285 feet, which Six Flags and B&M both list as the longest beyond-vertical drop ever built on a roller coaster, and it’s the specific element that pushed Tormenta past the 300-foot mark and into new giga-coaster territory for the dive-coaster category.
Tormenta Rampaging Run: Full Stats
Height: 309 feet. Drop: 285 feet at 95°. Top speed: 87 mph. Track length: 4,199 feet. Inversions: 4. Ride time: approximately 2 minutes 54 seconds. Manufacturer: Bolliger & Mabillard (B&M), Dive Coaster model. Trains: three trains, three cars each, eight riders across per row, for 24 riders per train. Minimum height to ride: 48 inches; maximum 78 inches. Restraints: over-the-shoulder vest-style.
Six world records are tied to this layout: tallest dive coaster (309 ft), fastest dive coaster (87 mph), longest dive coaster (4,199 ft), first-ever giga dive coaster, tallest Immelmann inversion (218 ft), and tallest vertical loop (179 ft).
How Many G’s Does Tormenta Pull?
Neither Six Flags nor B&M has published an official g-force figure for Tormenta Rampaging Run as of this writing, which is why you’ll see riders and forums guessing rather than citing a number. For context, other B&M dive coasters run in a similar range: SheiKra, Griffon, and Valravn are generally cited around 4 G, while Oblivion tops out near 4.5 G on its more compact layout. Given Tormenta’s taller loop and Immelmann, expect it to sit in that same 4–4.5 G neighborhood at its most intense points, though that’s an estimate based on comparable B&M models, not a confirmed spec.
If you ride it, you can log your own numbers with an accelerometer app or with ThrillZing and see how it stacks up against SheiKra, Griffon, and the rest of the dive-coaster lineup.
Ride Duration: How Long Does Tormenta Last?
Total ride time is about 2 minutes 54 seconds from the moment the train leaves the station to the final brake run — long by dive-coaster standards, where most rides clock in closer to a minute and a half. That includes the slow 309-foot lift, the roughly three-second hold at the top of the first drop, the 87-mph plunge and inversion sequence, a mid-course brake run, and a second half of drops and turns before the train returns to the station.
Rancho de la Tormenta: The Themed Area
The ride anchors a new themed section, Rancho de la Tormenta, built in the park’s Spain/Mexico area around the running-of-the-bulls tradition — a rustic Spanish village where, in the park’s telling, the bull named Tormenta is the hero rather than the threat. The theming extends through the queue and plaza, so the walk-up and wait are part of the experience rather than just a line for the main event.
