Key takeaway Six Flags Over Texas said in a social media post that testing of the Tormenta: Rampaging Run is taking longer than expected, and the coaster will no longer debut on Friday, June 26.
Why this matters in Southlake News
The delay of the Tormenta: Rampaging Run roller coaster at Six Flags Over Texas is likely to disappoint thrill-seekers in Southlake and the surrounding Dallas-Fort Worth area who were looking forward to experiencing the new attraction. As the summer season gets underway, the park is a popular destination for local families and visitors alike, and the highly anticipated coaster was expected to be a major draw. With the original opening date of June 26 now off the table, park officials will need to reassess their summer programming and events schedule to minimize the impact on attendance and revenue. Southlake residents who frequent the park will be watching closely for a new opening date to be announced, and will likely be eager to be among the first to ride the Tormenta: Rampaging Run once it is finally open to the public.
