Low-cost liability insurance is available and Gravity Works/BCI provides one of the strongest warranties in the industry. We’re happy to help you with the implementation, installation, and start-up operations for the Skyscraper. It exceeds ASTM-F24 standards and has passed every state, provincial and international inspection easily.Įvery ride comes with 24-hour technical support that’s good throughout the life of the ride. We use only the strongest, top-quality materials and connect each strategic part with full-penetration welds. The Skyscraper was designed and tested by our high-tech computer-assisted design and engineering programs so it’s thoroughly tested for maximum durability and safety before it’s actually built. When we say this ride pulls 4 Gs at 60 mph, it doesnt take a rocket scientist to figure out it must be wild fun. Besides the separate ride admission charged (usually $20 or more), video, T-shirts and other ride memorabilia, can take in up to an additional $20 per customer. You can see an artists impression of the Skyscraper ride in action at the US Thrill Rides site and photos and videos of the SKYPLEX project at the Mangos web site.The Skyscraper is a high-profile, high-profit centerpiece to any park. Cyclist conquers worlds 5th tallest building by riding up skyscrapers stairs - all 2,754 of them (+ video). It is planned to include a drop tower, SkyRise Drop, at 650 foot (198 m). SkyFall’s record could soon be broken though as the proposed SkyRise Miami tower will be 990 feet (302 m), making it the tallest building in the state. The track for SkyFall will be located inside the framework for the roller coaster so riders on both attractions will get glimpses of each other going up or down. Riders will be slowly lifted to the top of the tower and then after a few seconds wait will drop vertically at speeds of up to 90 mph (145 kph). The current record is held by Zumanjaro: Drop of Doom, also at Six Flags Great Adventure in New Jersey at 415 feet (126 m). In February 2015, Wallack Holdings, the developers of the SKYPLEX complex on International Drive, announced a second thrill ride to be integrated into the planned Skyscraper roller coaster tower.Ĭalled SkyFall, it is being billed as the tallest drop ride in the world. Height restriction will be 48 inches (122 cm). Track length will be around 5,200 feet (1,600 m) with seven inversions and a ride time of around 4 minutes. This compares favourably with something like the Incredible Hulk ride at Universal’s Islands of Adventure with a 1,920 passengers per hour capacity.ĭesigned by US Thrill Rides, Skyscraper was to be built by S&S Worldwide but in 2015 this was switched to Intamin. This design of roller coaster has a capacity of between 850 and 1,600 passengers per hour.
#SKYSCRAPER RIDE SERIES#
Riders start at the foot of the tower in eight passenger cars (two rows of four seats) and make their way to the top before descending back down to the bottom with a series of inside and outside loops, rolls, dives, corkscrews, inversions and speeds of up to 60 mph (96 kph). General Information Must be 52' tall to ride. This ride stood tall over Hunt's Pier for years until 2012 when they moved the ride to Adventure Pier to make room for a proposed wooden roller coaster on the old Hunt's Pier that will span over two piers, Surfside and Hunt's. The advantage of this style of roller coaster is that a lot of track and hence ride time can be built into a relatively small footprint, typically a 150 foot (46 m) diameter and once you reach the top, gravity takes over. The SkyScraper was a privately owned ride now owned by the Morey's. The model is a “Polercoaster” where the track spirals up and then down around a central tower. Imagine a roller coaster wrapped around something like the Post Office Tower in London from ground level right up to the top. At 500 feet (150 m) tall it beats the current holder, Kingda Ka at Six Flags Great Adventure in New Jersey which is 456 feet (139 m) tall.
Requirements: Must be at least 48 inches tall to ride. The Skyscraper will form part of a new 495,00 square foot (45 987 sq m) complex called SKYPLEX, on International Drive at the intersection with Sand Lake Road. The Skyscraper spins at speeds of 60 mph at heights of 150 feet.
