Facts and practical information

Skyscraper is a roller coaster concept originally planned for a future Skyplex entertainment complex located in Orlando, Florida. Development began in 2012 by American manufacturer US Thrill Rides and Swiss manufacturer Intamin, with both companies designing the attraction as the first Polercoaster model utilizing an observation tower for its main support structure. Developers expected to complete the work by 2016, but a number of delays resulted in the date being pushed back several times. The status of the project became uncertain in 2019, following the removal of the project's website and lack of updates from developers. If it were to be completed, Skyscraper would become the tallest roller coaster in the world at over 500 feet and would feature both the steepest drop and highest inversion. ()
