Didn’t even realize this today. Makes for a pretty iconic feature - shaping up to be a great ride
News Project 2026/Rubi: Tormenta Rampaging Run (B&M Giga Dive)
- Thread starter Zachary
- Start date
This is going to completely change arriving at SFOT I mean even just SFOTs vibe in general. I really like SFOT as a park and Tormenta looks to be a very strong ride for the park. If it rides as smooth as Yukon Striker it’ll be one of the most famous rides in Texas for sure for many years.
I actually do have some hope that this will be smooth since it's using the wider track type. My guess is the rattle on the 7 across dives comes from the track being so narrow for a train that wide. Afaik none of the wide track dives have had a rattle, so I'm hoping that'll fix the issue.
This is also the first one of the large ones to be built since the (alleged) change in B&M's build quality, so we'll see. I am also hopeful that the wider track will help its case.

I mean... ok I guess. It's just a train
Yeah, talk about a snoozefest. Probably one of the weakest train designs I've ever seen advertised.
The concept was to resemble a cape. I wonder what changed
If the train budget helped build this a extra 100ft then so be it
the cape was such a cool concept! Wonder what changed
Height limit on this one too. Ridiculous.
Could it be the 'Tormenta' fascia is temporary and was just put on this coach to be able to display it along with the annoucement? I know that the actual (and well detailed) decals were not added to the Rapterra trains until the ride was basically open.
