The Vue at 360

The Vue at 360, or... The Worlds Tallest StarFlyer!

I'm not sure why Orlando needs a second StarFlyer... uh, basically a block from the first American one at Magical Midway... But whatever, I-Drive 360, Home to the Orlando Eye decided to go ahead and build what will be the tallest StarFlyer ride in the world, standing some 420 feet tall and I'll be sure to ride it!

Once it opens, supposedly next spring, it will replace the New England SkyScreamer at Six Flags New England by 10 feet or so becoming the tallest swing tower in the world.

 Having 'been in the works' some 3 years now... It was almost a surprise to see ground work actually start on this project.

(Unlike say, the Polar Coaster that still hasn't done much of anything, a block away)

 Ground work for a building. 

Assuming this will be bathrooms and tickets.

 The ride foundation has been placed and loading area paved.

What looks to be the queue has also been marked off.

 There was active work going on, despite the rain, while I was there.

 After 3 years, it was nice to see work progress.

Orlando has a bad habit of things being announced and never, ever happening.
I had almost forgotten about this project until I saw a photo showing off ground work! ha

Woo?
