Rancho de la Tormenta Plaza
This new and immersive themed area depicts an old and secluded Spanish village, warmly inviting guests to partake in the excitement of the annual festival celebrating the ranch hands who raised the cattle that brought prosperity to the community. The "Festival Taurino" offers an atmosphere filled with vibrant and colorful banners, a range of entertainment and its signature attraction, Tormenta: Rampaging Run.
The town was initially named after the storms (tormentas) that swept across the plains it occupied, but that soon changed with the birth of the legendary bull that grew to be the most feared and respected animal in the land. Known for its fierce strength and incredible speed, the bull, nicknamed "Tormenta," came to be a symbol of the town's resilience and might.
