Dollywood is getting a new attraction that’s four rides in one. SeaWorld Orlando will be introducing a new dark ride soon. LEGOLAND Florida is getting new space-themed experiences. Next year, Six Flags Over Texas, in Arlington, Texas, will be debuting a new roller coaster that’s going to break a LOT of new records.

According to United Press International (UPI), the new coaster, called Tormenta Rampaging Run, will make its debut next year and break six records in the process. It’s also the first “giga-dive coaster” that is more than 300 feet tall. A giga-dive coaster is one that stands between 300 feet and 399 feet tall and features a vertical drop.

Its vehicle will carry passengers to a record-breaking height of 309 feet, making it the world’s tallest dive roller coaster, and then drop them down a 95-degree descent that will reach up to 87 mph, making it the fastest dive coaster in the world. The coaster will also be the world’s longest dive coaster at 4,199 feet.

Tormenta Rampaging Run will also have the world’s tallest vertical loop (179 feet) and the highest Immelmann inversion that will carry rides upside down 218 feet in the air. The 95-degree beyond vertical drop will also break a record, plunging riders 285 feet. All of this, and it will send riders through sharp turns and drops, bringing several weightless moments to the ride.

The coaster is based on the annual running of the bulls in Pamplona, Spain, hence its name. It will be part of a new area of the park, the Rancho de la Tormenta plaza, which will also include a new restaurant, Cocina Abuela.

There is no specific opening timeline for the debut of the new coaster, but we’ll keep an eye out for those of you who might dare want to ride it.
