It's time to get dizzy.
A new wooden roller coaster will be coming to Fun Spot America this summer.
The Osceola County-based park on Thursday announce it partnered with The Gravity Group for a custom roller coaster at the theme park's Kissimmee location.
It's not just any roller coaster, either.
"This is huge news — not just for us, but the city of Kissimmee — as this will be the only wooden roller coaster in the southeast United States that will feature a 360-degree barrel roll," said John Arie Jr., CEO of Fun Spot America. "This roller coaster will be completely unique and thrilling. We have worked tirelessly with The Gravity Group to design a ride that will be a must-ride coaster for any thrill-seeker and coaster enthusiast."
Ride specifications
- Track length: 2,256 feet
- Lift height: 82 feet
- First drop: 80.5 feet
- Maximum bank angle: 115 degrees
- 11 different air times
- Top speed: 48.5 mph
Fun Spot America said it will be making a $6 million investment for the new roller coaster.
In addition, the project will add 50 new jobs to the local economy during the construction phase. Fun Spot also said it will add an additional 20 full-time jobs once the new roller coaster opens in the summer.
