First Of Its Kind SkyBlazer Coming to Cotaland in 2022

A new and modern version of the world famous Skycoaster will make its debut at Cotaland this year, named the SkyBlazer. The ride is being offered by US Thrill Rides, but Skyline Attractions has partnered with them on the design, engineering and delivery of the ride. As with the classic Skycoaster, the SkyBlazer allows riders to experience the feelings of sky diving but offers a higher capacity attraction.

At Cotaland, the SkyBlazer will have a ring of 18 seats with passengers secured with a roller coaster-like restraint. After boarding the ring will slowly be lifted up to the top of the tower, then released to freefall briefly before swinging freely from the 200 foot tall main arch. After several swings the ride will utilize a pendulum damper to bring the ring to a stop. The towers of the SkyBlazer at Cotaland will utilize colored lights to make the ride's structure a spectacle as well.

According to US Thrill Rides the SkyBlazer can be built in sizes ranging from 200 feet to 350 feet tall, and the center ring can seat from 6 to 24 riders at a time. The SkyBlazer looks like a lot of fun, obviously still an up-charge attraction for most parks, however, due to capacity. I hope the ride is a success and we see more of these pop up!
