Set to open at the brand new Skyplex in Orlando in 2017, Skyscraper is a radically INSANE Polercoaster that will instantly become The Worlds Tallest Roller. That one features a U-shaped track that shoots 456 feet into the sky and rockets riders from zero to 128 miles per hour in 3.5 seconds. The current highest roller coaster in the world is Kingda Ka, located at Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson, New Jersey. The developers unveiled the animated simulation of the Skyscraper at this week's International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions Expo 2014. The Skyscraper will be part of a $250 million entertainment complex planned for Orlando's International Drive called Skyplex, which includes an indoor theme park. The coasters are boarded at the bottom of the tower, then make their way to the top before gravity takes over, with riders disembarking at the bottom. The 535-foot-tall "Skyscraper" is due to open in 2017. Plans are underway to build the world's tallest roller coaster at an Orlando, Florida, theme park. The design is based on US Thrill Rides' Polercoasters concept, in which high thrills are delivered in a small diameter footprint. "The unique design of the coaster means more incredible, heart-pounding inside and outside loops, dives, spirals and inversions in a vertical area than riders have ever before experienced," said Bill Kitchen, founder of Orlando-based US Thrill Rides, which designed the Skyscraper. Judging by the looks of a simulation video released by the developer, it's going to be one scary ride. Suitably called "The Skyscraper," the coaster track spirals up and down the side of a 535-foot-tall observation tower. ![]() ORLANDO (CNN) - Plans are underway to build the world's tallest - and quite possibly most terrifying - roller coaster at an Orlando, Florida, theme park due to open in 2017.
