![]() OK … I’ll admit it, I hope the name doesn’t stick with the project, but I absolutely hope it gets built. We even have a proposal for a name: “Rambo’s Revenge Tower Coaster” which fits in with the Lionsgate media brand. ![]() Restaurant partnerships have already been discussed, and it’s even said COVID has been taken into account on the financial aspect of this project. The financing work, budgeting work, and market share work that you would expect to find in a thorough and complete business plan are all there. In the documents, it appears this project is actually a possibility. The entertainment venue would also feature other rides and attractions, and offer ticket combo deals depending on which attractions you wish to experience. If this comes to pass as listed in the documents, the ride partner would be Intamin and they would break their own Kingda Ka height record. Another document hints at a height of 580 feet tall, but either way, that would put the height record broken by the largest gap ever – potentially as much as nearly 200 feet. It appears they also don’t want to stop at 570 feet, but rather are looking at building it 649 feet tall, according to one document. In China, Lionsgate has what they are calling a “ first generation vertical theme park,” and this would be their second generation. There is no promise this will become a thing, but there are some indicators that show it is at least being discussed and considered.Īccording to the documents, Lionsgate is tied to the entertainment center named “Lionsgate World Resort Orlando” on the same land where the Skyplex was planned on the corner of Sand Lake Road and International Drive – a prime location for more entertainment, as it is already a bustling area with a lot of attractions. Keep in mind, these are not an official announcement. Now? There’s a new suite of rumors backed by some leaked documents that show what might be coming. The project was supposed to be completed by 2016 and be built by Intamin. The coaster started to fade to the back of peoples minds. No construction ever began, even though sites were reportedly looked at and locked in. In 2019, the website went down.įor the past six years, this idea has been laughed at. Between 20, other elements were announced for the tower in addition to the coaster, such as a drop ride, the world’s largest man-made surfing wave pool, and SkyJump, a 500-foot free fall diving experience from the top of Skyscraper Tower. ![]() In 2014, they started to seek investors, but by its original opening date in 2016, nothing had started. ![]() The owners of Mango’s Tropical Café, Josh Wallack and his father David, were behind the project. The idea was a 570-foot-tall tower with a roller coaster, AKA the Polercoaster, that went all around the outside and through the inside at points, featuring inversions and drops. Kingda Ka was supposed to lose its tallest title in 2016 when Skyscraper, the world’s tallest roller coaster, was to open on International Drive in Orlando as part of the planned Skyplex indoor entertainment complex. It opened in 2005 and has held that record for 15 years. Currently, the tallest stands at 456 feet at Six Flags Great Adventure – Kingda Ka. Each of these records was only held for a short time, though, as none of them are the tallest roller coasters in the world anymore. ![]() For a third time, Cedar Point broke the record with Top Thrill Dragster at 400 feet. Millennium Force, also at Cedar Point, broke the 300-foot height record. Magnum XL-200 at Cedar Point broke the 200-foot height roller coaster record.
