Tormenta, which is branded as the first-ever giga dive coaster, is the main attraction."This is a giga dive coaster. I know we’re using nerdy coaster terminology, but what that is is a giga coaster is any coaster that is 300 and 399 feet 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. A dive coaster is interesting because when we get to the top, we’re going to 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," said Tony Clark, a Six Flags spokesman.FO
