Skyline Park in southern Germany is planning a major new roller coaster as a novelty in 2024. It is to be the highest and longest in the Bavarian amusement park.
Between eight and ten million euros are to be invested in the new roller coaster. This is announced by Skyline Park Managing Director Joachim Löwenthal to augsburger Allgemeine. The novelty 2024 is to be nothing less than the highest and longest roller coaster in the Bavarian amusement park to date: 70 meters high and 1.2 kilometers long. Thus, the new attraction will also scratch the height record in Germany; At 73 metres, the currently highest steel roller lifts in Germany are "Silver Star" in Europa-Park and "Der Schwur des Kärnan" in Hansa-Park. Nothing follows for a long time, until "Expedition GeForce" in the Holiday Park, which rises 53 meters into the air.
New roller coaster from German manufacturer
The new eye-catcher in Skyline Park would be its seventh roller coaster. For the first time, the amusement park is working together with the manufacturer Gerstlauer Amusement Rides from Münsterhausen, which is only about 40 kilometres away. Gerstlauer is responsible, among other things, for "The Oath of Karnan" in Hansa-Park and is therefore familiar with high facilities.
A few years ago, Skyline Park announced plans to build a large new roller coaster. In fact, the "Sky Dragster" propulsion system should have been the world's tallest roller coaster. However, these plans have not yet been implemented. However, skyline park is always a soft spot for high attractions: In 2020, the "Allgäuflieger", the world's highest chain carousel at the time, was opened.
