Preview of the World's Tallest Roller Coaster Will Make Your Stomach Drop
If you're a fan of roller coasters, then 2017 will be pretty exciting for you. That's when the world's tallest coaster, the Skyscraper,is set to open at the new Skyplex in Orlando, Fla. The ride's track will wrap around a 535-foot-tall tower and will send riders twisting up, down, and around for about four minutes with no downtime. If you want to experience a preview of what it will look and feel like, you're in luck. A point-of-view video popped up on YouTube. Check it out here if you dare:
The Skyscraper will take the distinction of tallest roller coaster away from the 456-foot-tall Kingda Ka at Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson, N.J. — it takes riders from 0 to 128 mph in 3.5 seconds.
The designer of the Skyscraper, US Thrill Rides, is hyping up the scary ride, saying, "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." So, does it seem too scary to ride? Some people think so. One YouTuber wrote, "i got sick just from watching this. #hellsno" For now, we think we'll just stick to watching the video!
