This new attraction is one of two large projects for the Slingshot Group of Companies.
Just down the road at ICON Park, the company is working on building two world-record-setting attractions, the Orlando Free Fall and the Orlando Slingshot. When those open the rides will join the Orlando Starflyer and the Wheel, as two of the tallest attractions in the world.
Both of those ICON Park attractions are scheduled to open in December.
“We’re honored to be creating so many thrilling attractions in Central Florida,” said Armstrong. “The Slingshot Group of Companies has been bringing thrills to guests for over 20 years and we’re confident they’ll love these new additions.”
