Six Flags Over Texas announced the completion of the world’s tallest roller coaster vertical loop, an 18-story, 179-foot steel structure silhouetted in the Dallas–Fort Worth skyline, marking a major construction milestone for the record-breaking Tormenta Rampaging Run set to open later this year.
The park commemorated the achievement with a countdown led by Park Manager Mark Boyer. As the final seconds ticked down, the loop was illuminated in red, creating a display visible for miles across Texas. The lighting moment marked both the completion of the loop and the continued rise of what will become the first and only giga dive coaster in the world.
“Tonight, Texas raised the bar for thrill rides around the world,” Boyer said. “The completion of the world’s tallest vertical loop is a once-in-a-generation engineering achievement and a bold sign of what’s ahead when Tormenta Rampaging Run opens later this year.”
