I saw this in Florida a few weeks ago, but I don't know who makes it, and I think it would fit in nicely at CP. Basically, the Skyscraper is a very tall arm about 150 feet, with a pivot in the center so it rotates much like the hands of a watch. On each end of this tall arm are a set of two seats. Only four people at a time could do it. The arm spins at 60 mph in a circle while the seats spin around independently. It was one of the only rides I have never done(the other being Skycoasters) and it wasen't because it cost $20. Watching the thing operate almost made me ill. I'll do almost anything, but this was out. I was thinking that this Skyscraper thing would be a good addition to Challenge Park as it is on the same level as Ripcord. My bold prediction is that this will eventually turn up at CP. So far I've only seen one and that's been in Florida. For those who think they can handle anything, take a look at one of these if you get the chance. You WILL need to change the shorts afterword!
I hope CP gets one someday soon.

One of those can be found at the Michigan State Fair for about a week.

Millennium Force will be the next to sink!
I bet there is a pretty good chance one of these will show up at CP, since Dorney Park got one this year.
