Skyplex Orlando Discussion Thread

Yay for progress! If the American Dream mall is opening next month, than this'll get built at some point. I have faith.

Has the official height of the coaster been announced?

[COASTER FREAK 11]

Wouldn’t that height just be the tower height, plus the “radio antenna” on top of it?

 

I would guess if the FAA approved a height of 706', then that would include the entire building and everything above it. Doesn't make sense for them to approve a height of a building, that then goes higher than what was approved.

Anyone take a guess on the price of a ride on the coaster and drop? I'm sure they could fetch at least $20 a pop... I'd think. Big and interesting project! Can't wait to ride them.

Time to bring this back to life... sort of.

If I'm not mistaken, that's the new drop tower going alongside the Orlando StarFlyer, right?

 

EDIT: No it isn't. Then I wonder what the new drop tower will be called (it itself a Funtime "Skyfall" tower)?

^According to this article, that one will be called Orlando Gyro Drop Tower, but that could just be a placeholder name for now. I mean, it goes with Orlando Starflyer sitting nearby.
