Six Flags Over Texas says this first and only giga dive coaster in the world will be found in the new Spanish village, Rancho de la Tormenta.

Guests will board the coaster in open-air vehicles to help mimic the vibrant costumes of bull runners.

The main attraction of the plaza is the 309-foot dive coaster, themed around the Running of the Bulls.

25 News received a statement from PETA in response to the news release of the "new bull-fighting themed roller coaster" coming to Six Flags Over Texas:

"People go to Six Flags for fun and thrills, not to glorify the torment of bulls who are lanced, stabbed, and have their spines hacked apart in the bullring. PETA urges Six Flags to stick to the Spanish meaning of "Tormenta," a storm, and leave the bulls out of it."
- Colleen O’Brien, Senior Vice President of PETA

Six Flags Over Texas provided 25 News with this statement in response to PETA:

"Our fictitious ride backstory is not about bullfighting. The bull is the hero of our story, and the ride honors his strength and speed."
- Wilma Rivera, Regional Manager & Public Relations, Six Flags Over Texas
