IndyCar Driver Christian Lundgaard Helps Place the Final Track Piece
on Tormenta Rampaging Run at Six Flags Over Texas
Racing Star Visits Arlington Ahead of Major IndyCar Weekend,
Celebrates Milestone for the World’s Fastest Dive Coaster
Arlington, Texas — March 14, 2026 — As the global racing community turns its attention to Arlington for this weekend’s highly anticipated IndyCar event, Six Flags Over Texas welcomed Arrow McLaren driver and 2022 Rookie of the Year Christian Lundgaard for a special visit and a major construction milestone.
Lundgaard, fresh off preparations for the race and known internationally for his speed behind the wheel, visited the park to take on Titan — Six Flags Over Texas’ fastest coaster — before helping crews place the Golden Bolt, the final piece of track on Tormenta Rampaging Run, the park’s six time, world record-breaking dive coaster debuting later this year.
The ceremonial bolting marks the official completion of Tormenta’s world record-breaking 4,199-foot track, a defining moment that moves construction into its next phases including train installation, system programming, commissioning, safety testing, team training and test cycles leading up to passholder previews and the grand opening.
Tormenta Rampaging Run is set to break six world records when it opens:
Tallest dive coaster at 309 ft.
Highest 95‑degree beyond vertical drop at 285 ft.
Fastest dive coaster at 87 mph
Highest Immelmann inversion at 218 ft.
Tallest vertical coaster loop at 179 ft.
Longest dive coaster at 4,199 ft.
At 4,199 feet, Tormenta Rampaging Run stretches longer than seven AT&T Stadium football fields — the same stadium Christian Lundgaard will effectively “lap” 70 times during this weekend’s Grand Prix of Arlington.
“Having a global racing figure such as Christian Lundgaard help mark this milestone made the moment even more special,” said Six Flags Over Texas park manager Mark Boyer. “This is a huge weekend for Arlington and the entire DFW region, and celebrating Tormenta’s progress alongside one of the sport’s most exciting young drivers made perfect sense.”
Quote from Christian Lundgaard
“I spend my life chasing speed, so getting an early look at Tormenta Rampaging Run was incredible,” said Lundgaard. “Placing the Golden Bolt and seeing the full track completed was an honor and a cool way to spend my morning ahead of an exciting inaugural IndyCar race weekend in Arlington. This coaster is built for pure speed and power and I can’t wait to come back and ride it when it opens later this year.”
