Opening at SkyPlex Orlando in 2017.

:eek: :eek: :mad:

Orlando, Florida is to get the world's highest roller coaster in 2017, when the Skyplex opens its harnesses.

To show off just how vertiginous and terrifying the ride will be, its creators have created a point-of-view animation of it, putting you in the front seat.

The roller coaster twists and winds its way around a tower, climbing 570 feet before dropping riders over an angle more acute than a mere 90 degrees and barrel-rolling several times.

The Skyscraper will feature an observation deck for those who want to watch riders scream in terror, along with a 1,800-car parking garage. America!

Looks to me like one of those rides where you can't wait for it to finish!:smile: I can't wait to get on these things and when they start I can't wait to get off. Strange really....am I a masochist?

I am going on it with six pints of continental lager and a curry inside.

Now that's what I would call a pavement pizza. :)

Not a patch on the "Wild Mouse" they used to have at Littlehampton

Holy moly. Looks like something I used to make on the PS2 game 'Theme Park World' where you design your own theme park, unfortunately the park went bust due to several hundred customers falling off the roller coaster that was poorly designed.
