Skyscraper (roller coaster)
Skyscraper was 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. Skyscraper would have become the tallest roller coaster in the world at over 500 feet (150 m), and it would have featured both the steepest drop and highest inversion in the world. Developers anticipated completion by 2016, but a number of delays resulted in the date being pushed back several times. By 2019, the status of the project fell into uncertainty with the removal of the project's website and lack of updates from developers. In 2022, the companies funding the project filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
