Skyscraper/Skyplex - World's tallest rollercoaster

[GrumpyFan]

This thing looks crazy! When it's finished, I might have to take a day trip from WDW to go ride it.

Although, after watching the video and looking at the angles, it appears that it might be a rough ride.

If the track is smooth then it should be great. However, there are so many "out-of-the-ordinary" elements that I think it might get dumbed down a bit. Coupling that with doubts about funding actually coming through for this thing lowers the likelihood of this actually coming to fruition.

If they DO make this, it will be a coaster junkie magnet, assuming its not rough. I'll be keeping my fingers crossed.

All I kept thinking while I was watching the video was what a logistical nightmare it would be if a car gets stuck near the top of that thing.

Update: Looks like the project has gone through a significant change/upgrade to Lionsgate World Resort featuring IPs like Twilight, Hunger Games, Saw, John Wick, Paddington, Mad Men, and Weeds. @gabe3235 over at Inside Universal posted this (Originally from ThemeparX.com).

I wonder if they are serious about stealing the bean from Chicago?

I don't think they can afford it. Ended up costing 23 million in 2014
