Rope Drop: Storm warning is off in Texas
As the "rope drop" starts a day at theme parks, the Sunday "Rope Drop" post kicks off the week here at Theme Park Insider. Here is what lies ahead for fans at the parks this week.
This week was supposed to be the debut of Tormenta: Rampaging Run at Six Flags Over Texas. I had even booked my flight to red-eye out to Dallas for the media preview on Thursday morning. There was no chance at getting a hotel as the World Cup's Japan v. Sweden games was set for across the street that afternoon. But Six Flags on Friday postponed the event, so fans will need to keep waiting for their chance to ride the world's first B&M giga dive coaster.
Update: Monday morning, Six Flags Over Texas confirmed that Tormenta's public debut has been delayed. No new opening date yet.
