Very cool to see that on the open road.

I still find it a little odd that they didn't go with the 10-wide trains on this "worlds largest dive coaster."  But thanks for the update!

Thanks for sharing. B&M Dive Coasters have always been middle-of-the-road for me, but this is the first one that is really exciting to follow. 300-foot coasters aren't built too often. I was planning for 2026 to be my "off" year for any major travel, but I may have to squeeze in a long weekend in Texas to ride this thing.

Also, really hoping B&M can get their crap together and this ride will run smoothly. My tolerance is pretty high for shaky rides, so I was hoping all the complaining about recent B&Ms was exaggerated. After riding Wrath of Rakshasa this year and then Yukon Striker a couple days later... it is VERY obvious something has changed. Fingers crossed!

Tormenta is now visable from I-30 as you drive by. Last pic shows Funicular track being installed on Tormentas lift hill.

I drove by on 360 over the weekend and you can see the track from there as well.

Dang in non-typical Six Flags fashion they aren't messing around! This thing is going up quick!

It's the Jeffrey Siebert effect.

When the park posted the 2nd photo, they said the track was at 190 feet.

Quite right. The lift hill is only up to 190FT at the moment. Another 119FT still to go.
