SeaWorld Orlando | Ice Breaker | Premier Rides Custom Sky Rocket | 2022

Arguably, this looks more like the original Sky Rocket than any other ones that have been built.

It's definitely segmented in the Sky Rocket product line, although it isn't yet known if it is a I or III variant. Actually, for all we know this could be a IV variant.

I believe the Skyrocket III model is Full Throttle exclusively, and that Deep Space / Dragonfire is its own product line.

According to their website:

Sky Rocket is Sky Rocket at Kennywood.
Sky Rocket II is the Sky Rocket II model we all know i.e, Superman, Tigris etc.
Sky Rocket III is Full Throttle
Deep Space has its own line.

Looks like they managed to crest the tophat before the holiday:

This one will be exciting to watch take shape over the next few months since the renderings didn't show much at all. Based on how that transition is shaped at the top of the tophat, it looks like there will be a bit of physics trickery at play.

Can we unsticky this thread plz? The ride is open.

Pardon?

Pardon?

Oops this meant to go in the Relámpago thread.

Sometimes when I use my mobile I find it easy to click on the wrong thread.

Out of interest, why do you care so much anyway? Sometimes a nice reminder for the moderators is nice, but just let them do their job. Having the thread stickied for a little longer won't cause the site to crash, you know.

Top hat's complete, and looks quite whippy. Wonder when they take the xmas decs down?

Am I the only one who completely forgot that this one was being built?

I recall seeing pics of it being built, the discussion sort of focused on the surf coaster prototype and then this xD

 

[Antinos]

It's nice to see some green starting to grow in now that it looks like the ride has been ready to go for some time now. I'm sure it won't be long before it blends with the rest of its surroundings nicely.

That's actually looking really solid for a family coaster. Obviously not the most exciting thing in the world, but it's cool to see some big boy elements in there for the kids.

Those aerial views really get across how amazingly compact this coaster is. It's basically an S shaped out-and-back layout. As I said a few pages back, it's a great case study in designing a coaster for a compact site, with tall elements allowing the coaster to change directions in the horizontal plane without taking up large swathes of land for big turns, and a swing launch that lets the end brakes, station, and train shed be laid in two parallel lines instead of one long stretch of track. It's a really genial layout for a really challenging site.
