Introducing Skyscaper- a 55-story attraction that will wind around a 570 ft. tower (that’s taller than the Washington Monument at 555 feet). Total ride time is expected to be about three minutes.

 

Right now, the world's tallest roller coaster is Kingda Ka, which stands 456 feet, at Six Flags Great Adventure in New Jersey.

 

Passengers will take a glass elevator up to the ride, enjoying stunning views of the city.  After boarding, that's when the fun begins.  The new ride will hurl passengers to the ground below, reaching speeds of up to 65 miles per hour.  

 

Death defying drops not your thing? Non-riders can relax on a look-out deck that will tower 535 ft.

 

In a recent press release, Bill Kitchen, Founder of U.S. Thrill Rides and creator of the Polercoaster, said “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.”

God I used to love rollercoasters before my blood pressure went to shit.

 

i feel your pain, brother. at epcot two years ago my family and i rode on mission:space. it's a simulator ride that's basically a giant centrifuge. i think we pulled something like 4 g's in that ride. i walked out of there with my head spinning terribly and thought i was going to need medical attention from being so light headed. it corrected on it's own in a few minutes.

About five years ago I suddenly realized that I don't much like rollercoasters anymore.  It was right at the moment when my daughter wanted to go on the Mummy ride at Universal studios for the fifth time in a row.  I still went, but yeah.  Getting old sucks sometimes.
