There it is. Six Flags of Texas. And I believe on the right hand side of your
screen there, that is it. The new the new roller coaster. Daredevils speed
seekers buckle in. The new coaster at Six Flag is finally ready for riders
after months of previews and a few delays. Tormenta Rampaging Run opens
tomorrow, but we have an early spot in line with our own Paige Ellenberger.
She is ready to take on the ride live here on Good day. Let's go, Paige. Hey,
guys. Yeah, I am locked into this. You mentioned early off the top. Hey, we're
looking at a tower cam. I think that's the rampaging run in the shop there. If
you notice it, then it probably is. We're talking about a coaster that is
giga dive 309 ft in the air. Tony with with the park here, this thing breaks
multiple world records. You've ridden it before. What can we expect as we get
ready to leave the station? So this is a giga dive coaster, and I know it's we
use nerdy coaster terminology. But what that is is a giga coaster is any
coaster between 300 and 399 ft tall. So it sometimes isn't a dive coaster.
Sometimes it's just a coaster that doesn't go upside down or anything. So
the giga is that part. But then we have the dive part, and the dive coaster is
interesting because when we get to the top, we're gonna hold you over the edge
for about three seconds. Let you stare down at life's choices, and then you
get to enjoy the rest of the ride. Let me know where I could end up at the
would you like to try it? I'm ready to try it. If you're ready to try it,
let's try it. We'll get her rolling. The first part's nice and calm. We're
gonna do a little dip to the left opening, and as we're going up, it's
gonna get a little loud, but you can take in the view. Okay? And once we get
to the top of the views, amazing. Listen, we're off. Here we go. While we
have some calmness right now, there are some terminology y'all had sent over to
us. Jet fighter maneuver. Twisted turn. Yes. I mean, people would be running in
the other direction, but here we are. Yes. Well, you know, I argue that this
is better than a cup of coffee.
It's beautiful. Look at the Arlington Entertainment District. A few car
dealerships. Yes, Superman. And we're stopping. Here we go. So here's where
things get interesting. We're literally we're gonna hold over the edge. You're
staring down a 285 95 degree beyond vertical. Here we go. Okay, that's
pretty much it. I'm shaking. So I hope you enjoyed the ride. Wait, we're
breaking right now. Guys, I'm shaking. There's more. Here we go. Second half.
Here we go.
Leave. It's nice, isn't it?
I could see it. That's awesome. I'm shook on a coaster. That's awesome. And
so long. Listen, I think when people hear of this coaster, you didn't make
it appealing. All right. The torment of rampaging run. Yes. Like you want people
thinking twice before they get on this type of point. You look at it. It's the
tallest, pretty much the tallest coaster we have. It's a giant structure. You
can see from all over from miles and miles away. But you know what? It's
smooth. It's fun. You had fun, right? Hope you had fun. So smooth. I love a
coaster. I've been on a few coasters. It's a little bumpy. Even when they go
up the hill, it can be bumpy. This is nothing but and you feel secure. You
feel super. How many people can ride on this at the same time? So each one of
these rows is eight people. There's three rows of eight. We have three
trains. So honestly, this is gonna be a good ride to ride because the lines
gonna continuously move. Um, they do a good job of that. The crew's amazing.
Uh, it's it's a It's an awesome new coaster to check out this year. You're
gonna want to ride it again. I'm sure before I leave, I know we don't have
another live hit on the coaster. You can write it back in this line. This is
where it's at the torment of rampaging run. It opens tomorrow. I'm still
shaking. I mean, 90 nearly 90 miles an hour. 300 ft in the air. They dangle
you over. Like, listen, if you don't like splatting it, this might not be
the coaster for you. It is unbelievable. This is for thrill seekers
and consider me shook. Oh my gosh, you are a thrill seeker paid. I love how
you said and you feel secure while riding it, which I do think is key on
any roller coaster. Make sure you are locked in tight. Yeah, aside from the
fact that it forced tears from your eyes. Other than that, I probably that
wasn't my brightest moment. You know, that wasn't. I didn't look too good. I
know I put my hair up for this, but I wasn't expecting coaster hair. The tear
to come out saliva to leave the mouth. It's not. Here we are. We did it. You
did it. You did it. Let's do it again. Nice job. Run it back. We're gonna head
to break, but I expect you to take another lap on the on the torment of
rampaging right on the ground for now. All right, thanks, Paige.
