SKYCOASTER - Old Town - Kissimmee [Orlando] Florida

[megadeth747]

This isn't 300ft. It just isn't.

Comparing it to other things, it's not. Such a lie. I know this because I use my common sense and the fact that I went to another place in Florida for thrills whilst I was there and they claimed to have a 390ft tall Slingshot, funny how it was smaller than the sky coaster :P

@megadeth747

sorry sweets take it up with the owner, who builds these worldwide

and HE said it was his tallest and HE said it was 300 feet

when you're at the top and see the curvature of the earth.... THEN tell me what you think.

I saw every amusement park in town from up there.

Talk to him honey

then we'll talk

855' BEST thrill around (until you realize they only let you fall 40mph)

[megadeth747]

@lindaclements I could probably do that..eventually, I'd just need time to think about it lol. After the jump it would be fine, it's just doing thats the ohhh shit part lol

@megadeth747 Um yea it is. I work at a 180 ft skycoaster which is still very tall and this one makes mine look like a backyard swing set. BTW, You don't measure the slingshot from the ground to the top of the tower. You measure from ground to the highest point of the launch.

@megadeth747 <- the sling shot is 390 ft. its not as tall as the sky coaster because the end shot of the sling shot hits an altitude of 390ft not the structure.

[matthewruss]

best ride ever

[seahawks2043]

ive been on a 180 ft sky coaster, it was a rush but man 300ft ive been on millenium force and 300 ft is hight, cant imagine doing it that way

[lindaclements]

I've been on Millenium Force too. We go every other fall. but this is soooooo much more frightening. LOVED every minute of it, but a real knee knocker fer shur !!! :-)

[KWOfficial]

thats the scariest thing i have ever been on

[lindaclements]

SKYCOASTER Most of these rides are around 240' feet high This is the tallest one in the world 300' High from the top you can see Epcot, Magic Kingdom, Downtown Disney and on a clear day you can see Islands of Adventure/Universal Studios Let me say, it is MUCH more fun riding with 2 other people the more weight the better with just me it was pretty lack-luster after the first SWOOP, it's pretty much over with 3 heavy people, you SWOOP, SWOOP, SWOOP, SWOOP MUCH more fun !!!!

My son Rich and 2 of his children (my grandchildren Rachel & Nate) went to Old Town when we were in Orlando last week.
