[citation needed] In 2012, Wallack Holdings, owners of Mango's Tropical Café in Orlando, selected the Polercoaster design concept pitched by US Thrill Rides to become their flagship attraction at the future-planned Skyplex indoor entertainment complex.

Documents uncovered by an Orlando news agency revealed that the roller coaster would be located in Central Florida along International Drive at the intersection with Sand Lake Road.

[5][6] However, design changes and a lengthy process for obtaining the necessary permits caused several delays in breaking ground, and the timeline was updated to reflect construction on the complex beginning in mid-2017.

[9] By April 2017, portions of the roller coaster's track had been completed by Intamin and were placed in storage, but construction of the complex was put on indefinite hold pending permit approval which did not come to fruition.

[17] US Thrill Ride designed the steel track of Skyscraper to be approximately 5,200 feet (1,600 m) long, featuring seven inversions that include zero-g rolls and raven turns.

Its theoretical capacity was 1000 riders per hour, and each seat would feature a lap restraint as opposed to over-the-shoulder harnesses to avoid obstructing the view.
