Skyplex

Skyplex was a planned entertainment complex, [1] It was to be located on a 14-acre (5.7 ha) lot at the northeast corner of Sand Lake Road and International Drive in Orlando, Florida.

On January 30, 2023, WPC (Winter Park Construction) confirmed on a message that the project would not be moving forward, resulting in the complex being delayed.

[2] After several successful land negotiations conducted under the name WF IDrive Realty, development of Skyplex and the roller coaster began.

[5][9][10] In 2015,[2] Wallack Holdings LLC spent US$50,000,000 to develop a retail complex, a parking garage, and a Mango's Tropical Cafe on the southwest corner of the same intersection as Skyplex.

[12][13][14] Portions of the roller coaster's track had been completed by Intamin and were in storage by April 2017, but the start of construction in Orlando was on hold pending the approval of permits, which did not come to fruition.

[15] In January 2019, it was announced that the project had been scaled back to US$250,000,000 and would only take up a portion of the planned 14-acre (57,000 m2) site, but that the size of the tower and 2020 opening date would remain unchanged.

On January 30, 2023, WPC (Winter Park Construction) confirmed that the project would not be moving forward, with the planned complex falling into uncertainty.

[citation needed] On October 17 2024, Orlando Business Journal officially confirmed that the project was cancelled as the vacant land is being put up for sale.
