Animation of the Skyscraper coaster surrounding the 570-foot-tall Skyplex tower in Orlando was released today at the International Association of Amusement Parks & Attractions (IAAPA) Expo which is underway in Orlando.
Watch the animation of the “Polercoaster,” which includes an onride POV, below:
The 570-foot-tall tower, $250 million, 495,000-square foot Skyplex facility is expected to open in 2017.
Check out some of the crazy moments from the animation in the stills below:
Those who wish to admire the view of the 570-foot tower without riding the Skyscraper coaster will be able to do so via an elevator and observation deck at 535-foot level.
“With the addition of The Skyscraper and the amazing Skyplex, Orlando will once again cement its reputation as the attractions capital of the world and the No. 1 vacation/convention destination. We’re certain this thrilling new iconic coaster and facility will attract countless more attraction enthusiasts and visitors to the area.”
– Joshua Wallack, managing principal of Skyplex and COO of Mango’s Tropical Café (the company building the complex, along with US Rides)

One of the scariest rides I have ever seen.
I’ll be there on opening day here in Orlando!
Wow. It looks scary, but I think traditional coasters would provide more thrill. What can compare to Millennium Force’s first drop?
