Six Flags Over Texas announces tallest, fastest dive roller coaster, Tormenta Rampaging Run

I am pumped about this coaster and will likely visit SFOT for the first time just to ride it. Dive coasters have grown on me quite a bit over these past few years, despite me thinking they were boring initially.

But I think the bigger thing is this is likely to be the rare instance I get nervous before riding a coaster. The only time I'm fearful of a ride is when it's a tower of some kind. I avoid drop towers if I can and I still say that Wind Seeker is the scariest ride at Cedar Point. I couldn't even muster the courage to get in line for Falcon's Fury, let alone ride it.

Dive coasters feel like drop towers and the thought of looking down 300ft is insane. I thought Valravn and Griffon were tall enough, but this will feel like falling for days.

The 95 degree drop was something I wasn't expecting. That will add to the drop-factor. We're not planning a trip to Texas anytime soon, but would love to have this in our backyard.

I didn't see any fog on the animation.

218' Immelmann followed by a 179' vertical loop should be an incredible experience.

I guarantee that enthusiasts will complain that it's "forceless" or some such nonsense. The bigger the element, the "slower" they seem. I recall this was what people said about Alpengeist, with its huge inversions. (I happen to love that ride.)

Same, Alpengeist has always been my favorite invert. I also like Griffon, so this crazy tall dive coaster looks like it’ll be fun.

I may have to venture down to Texas and visit my sister-in-law next year. I had been avoiding that state for many reasons.

The layout looks pretty typical for a B&M dive coaster, just scaled up. I got a chance to ride Wrath of Rakshasa yesterday and absolutely loved it. It has some really unique elements and no mcbr. I hope Tormenta uses Rakshasa's loose article bins system. Such a fun solution!
