Wtf is a double sky coaster

I can only hope they swing each one directly at each other and let them battle it out. Sky coaster - American Gladiators edition

This was the old sky coaster from the MGM in Vegas. Sure enough in the video you can see how they have duel loading stations

I think it's great that we will have the world's tallest and 2nd tallest Skycoaster just down the road from each other.

I did the 300ft at Fun Spot USA and it is insane. Scariest ride of my life.

They are building two coasters, check out their site for a CGI of the wooden coaster. Looks like a great coaster.

It helps most of the ride is made of steel and partly prefabed.

Indeed, it's all being put together on the ground right now.

Just looking at that sky tower gives me chills. I have never done a sky tower, sling shot, or anything that involves being thrown around in the air by a rope. I'm not scared the rope will break, just a bit too intimidating for me lol.

I personally can't wait to see the actual track on the wooden coaster start taking shape. The bents and structure are cool and all, but I really geek out when they start laying down the laminate layers for the track. Such an interesting process.

We are on our way to Ocala right now about 20miles south and just saw a tractor with bright yellow coaster track on the southbound side of 75 pulled over by an FDOT truck He may have passed the weight station since he was pulled off right past it. I assume the track is for Fun Spot since that's the only yellow coaster I know getting built down here

Someone's going to be late with a delivery.

Slightly off topic but if anyone ever has the chance I highly recommend doing a sky coaster. One of the most terrifying yet amazing experiences out there for thrill rides.

Agreed. The adrenaline rush from these things is amazing you just need balls of steel to pull the cord.

Back on topic that coaster is flying up can't wait to see the woodie following soon.

This applies to the other Fun Spot in Kissimmee, but still worth a mention... AmazonLocal Deals is currently offering SkyCoaster Flight tix for only $18 (a 55% discount over the regular $40 price). This deals will be up for the next 6 days, and the tix can be used through September 13, 2013. Pretty good deal :thumbs:
