Here's a Puke-Inducing Preview of the World's Tallest Roller Coaster
The world's tallest roller coaster, The Skyscraper, is scheduled to open at Orlando's Skyplex in 2017, and it looks like it'll be a tower of goddamn terror. The coaster's track will wrap around a 535-foot-tall monolith, twisting riders through a downward spiral for four minutes with "no downtime."
Aside from being the world's tallest rollercoaster, it'll also be the world's corkscrewiest, according to US Thrill Rides founder Bill Kitchen:
"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."
It's hard to tell if it lives up to the hype without riding it, but we can already tell this much: If you cut together the first-person sections of this CGI demo and threw them up on an IMAX screen, someone would definitely puke.
