World’s Tallest Roller Coaster to Debut in Orlando

November 18, 2015

Skyplex OrlandoThe Skyscraper at Skyplex, the $500 million brainchild of Wallack Holdings LLC, owners of the new Mango’s Tropical Café Orlando set to open in a few weeks, will include a 524-foot vertical lift coming 24 feet under the ground and up to its ultimate height of 501 feet, developers David and Joshua Wallack announced November 18. This will be the fourth world record planned for the Skyscraper “polercoaster” including the world’s tallest roller coaster, world’s tallest inversion and the world’s steepest drop. The Skyscraper “polercoaster” is the anchor attraction at Skyplex.

“The support from Central Florida and around the world is very humbling,” said Joshua Wallack, Managing Principal of Skyplex and COO of Mango’s. “Skyplex will be the tallest roller coaster on Earth, very appropriate for the tourism capital of the world — Orlando, Florida — and belongs in the International Drive Entertainment District.”

The Wallacks also announced that Skyplex’s surf park SkySurf will contain the world’s largest man-made surfing wave pool, bringing six overall world records to the entertainment complex including the previously announced SkyFall, the world’s tallest drop ride, and four for The Skyscraper. Skyplex will comprise approximately 1.5 million sf located on 14 prime acres in the Orlando attraction’s corridor. It will be the area’s largest indoor theme park and also will include SkyFly free fall zip line, simulators and a host of rides and games, as well as additional opportunities for attractions, interactive venues, upscale restaurants, bars and retail. Skyplex will have a 2,400-space parking garage and valet option.
