ARLINGTON, Tex. — Dec. 19, 2025 – 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 morning. 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. Today’s topping off culminated the lift hill and 870' of track, including 390' for the ascent, 105' along the top and the 375' descent. Now, workers will set their sights on the remaining 3,000 feet of track to go before the park opens this thrilling new attraction to the world this summer.
