Each seat will feature a lap restraint as opposed to over-the-shoulder harnesses to avoid obstructing the view. The ride is expected to accommodate a theoretical capacity of 1000 riders per hour. Each train will have two rows that seat four riders each for a total of eight riders per train. When complete, Skyscraper will operate with several small trains. Wrapping around the central tower, the roller coaster will feature seven inversions including zero-g rolls and raven turns.

It doesnt come close to the record for the worlds longest coaster ride. On June 5, 2014, Skyscraper was officially announced. When it opened in 2005, Kingda Ka was the worlds fastest (at 128 mph) and tallest roller coaster. Documents uncovered by an Orlando news agency revealed that the roller coaster would be located in Central Florida. In May 2014, a website asking for investors to invest in the project was formed. After several successful negotiations for land to build the attraction, development of both the roller coaster and Skyplex began. Development of Skyscraper began in 2012 after the owners of Mango’s Tropical Café Orlando selected the Polercoaster concept from US Thrill Rides as an attraction for their new Skyplex indoor entertainment complex.
