So, Skyline attractions first came to our attention during IAAPA 2014 when they announced their 'Strike U Up' ride concept, closely followed by the announcement of their 'Crazy Couch'. Well, they now need your help to decide on the company's first thrill ride's name...

Here's the ride:

In essence, it's a longer version of a Larson Looper, but with an Immelmann/Dive Loop layout. It actually looks quite funky. Here's the options and how to get involved: http://www.surveymonkey.com/r/8W8SKHH

Hmm I'd personally call it Pretzel coaster, or something like that. But well Skywarp sounds good too..

Would it be classed as a coaster? From what I can see, the trains are connected on only one of the sides, not both...

Would not be surprised to see this turn up at Fun Spot Orlando.
I wouldn't either. Skyline have already supplied the Strike-U-Up ride system for the park, so it's definitely not out of the question. With the park's expansion at the hands of Falcon's Treehouse (whenever that happens), I think it's safe to say that one could potentially be built with that.

That's more of cred than some of the dubious suggestions out there.

Neat how they give a coaster experience with limited footprint.

^ You could get an actual coaster in the same footprint; those Premier rocket things would be miles better than a glorified Fire Ball.

Looks turd. Sorry about it.

Oh I assumed it was much smaller than that. Oh well, as I rather like the Premier Rockets, I'd obviously much rather have that. Surely there's a large difference in price tag though?

If you count powered coasters(which I do), then I guess you can count this, seeing it's just one long train powering itself. Does look quite funky tho.
