This will be an incredible opportunity for International Drive. “Nowhere in the world will you have two iconic structures like The Skyscraper and the Orlando Eye. “We’re extremely excited about creating a record-breaking, must-try attraction on International Drive,” said Joshua Wallack, Mango’s Tropical Café chief operating officer, who also will open a Mango’s Orlando next year across International Drive from SKYPLEX. To get there, visitors will ride in the region’s tallest glass elevators. The SKYPLEX observation deck at the tip of the tallest structure in Central Florida will offer views 535 feet from the ground. There will be incredible heart-pounding inside and outside loops, dives, spirals and inversions like the world has never seen." This mega-thrill ride is a vertical rollercoaster created with coaster-length tracks featuring “all the other thrilling mayhem” of a great coaster experience, but “in a very small footprint,” according to Michael Kitchen, President of US Thrill Rides, the Orlando based company that created the ride.īill Kitchen, Founder of US Thrill Rides and creator of the Polercoaster said "Not only will the ‘Skyscraper’ coaster be the world’s tallest, we believe it will be the most thrilling. The Skyscraper at SKYPLEX is 570 feet tall and will feature the first Polercoaster built. “It’s exciting for our tourism community to see this type of investment being made to continuously raise the bar on the dining and entertainment experiences we offer across our destination.” “Next to our theme parks, International Drive is one of the most recognized icons of Orlando,” said Visit Orlando president and CEO George Aguel. Along with Mango’s Orlando, SKYPLEX will be bringing an irresistible dining and new nightlife vibe to the International Drive district.
SKYPLEX will break ground in 2015 and is expected to open in 2016. The $200 million SKYPLEX will comprise approximately 495,000 square feet located on 12 prime acres. The Skyscraper at SKYPLEX, the towering coaster to be built not far from the soon-to-open Orlando Eye 425-foot ferris wheel, will alter the Orlando skyline dramatically.
