Reportedly, it will reach 570 feet high, offering riders awesome views of the ground below. The Orlando based company US Thrill Rides is creating ‘The Skyscraper’.

The founder of the business, Bill Kitchen remarked “Not only will the ‘Skyscraper’ coaster be the world’s tallest, we believe it will be the most thrilling. There will be incredible heart-pounding inside and outside loops, dives, spirals and inversions like the world has never seen.”

The ride will stand over 50 stories tall with 52 hundred feet of track. Riders will reach about 65 miles per hour on the three minute long cruise. The Polercoaster also has an observation tower at the top that is serviced by a pair of glass elevators.
