Pocket Planet attraction to bring 'immersive miniverse' on London's famous Oxford Street The world’s tallest rollercoaster opens in Orlando, Florida, in Q2 2017. The theme park capital of the world is on course to quite literally scale new heights when IAAPA 2014: World’s tallest rollercoaster a 'gamechanger', says its creator QEII Conference Centre, London, United Kingdom The tower will also feature an observation deck and the Skyfall drop ride. The innovative design sees the ride travel vertically around a supporting tower, offering four minutes of twists and turns within an incredibly confined space. Opening in Q2 2017, the record-breaking Skyscraper coaster, designed by US Thrill Rides, will shoot riders 570ft into the air at speeds of up to 65mph (105kmph). Miami-based Wallack Holdings is behind the new ride and is also involved in several developments along the I-Drive tourism corridor, most notably the 50,000sq ft (4,645sq m) Mango’s Tropical Café, set to open later this year. The ride will drop at speeds of 90mph (145kmph). Skyfall will be an addition to the Skyscraper Tower – which will also be home to the rollercoaster. Standing at more than 460ft (140m), the drop ride will join the 570ft (174m)-high Skyscraper coaster at the US$250m (£162.5m, €219.1m) shopping and entertainment complex currently under development. In addition to having the world’s tallest rollercoaster, Orlando’s International Drive has announced a second cloud-touching attraction in the form of Skyfall, the world’s largest drop ride.
