Six Flags over Texas recently said goodbye to the Conquistador after an almost 40-year run.

Yesterday, the park announced a new attraction that will surely bring even more thrills to all who ride it.

The Tormenta is a dive coaster that will not only be the tallest dive coaster in the world at 309 feet, it will also be the fastest reaching speeds of 87 mph!

Six Flags regional general manager of Texas Jeffrey Siebert said per the Dallas Morning News, “As we approach our 65th anniversary, we really wanted to do something special, and what better way to celebrate our 65th anniversary, ... than to create a ride of such magnitude and scope that it will reignite the imagination and excitement of Arlington, of the metroplex, of the great state of Texas.”

Though not given a specific date, the Tormenta is expected to open sometime in 2026.
