World's Tallest Roller Coaster To Be

Coming soon to an anxiety attack near you!

A point-of-view animation video has unveiled plans for the world’s tallest roller coaster: a jaw-dropping, adrenaline-pumping monster that shoots you 570 feet into the air at 65 miles per hour.“Skyscraper,” which is scheduled to open in Orlando in 2017, is built vertically. A towering white structure serves as the base for the coaster’s track to loop and climb for a terrifying four minutes.

Currently, Kingda Ka at Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson, New Jersey holds the record for world’s tallest roller coaster at 456 feet. The attraction will be built on top of “Skyplex,” a sprawling 495,000-square-foot $250 million shopping and entertainment complex to be built on Orlando’s International Drive. Aside from the record-breaking coaster, the center plans to have restaurants, bars, rock-climbing and arcades. Construction is set to begin in 2015. For the faint of heart, “Skyscraper” will have an observation deck at 535 feet. So curious tourists can experience the views — but without a barf bag.
