Tidal Twister Turns 2!
SeaWorld San Diego opened Tidal Twister, the first Skywarp Horizon, in May 2019. The compact family thrill ride includes an airtime hill above a zero-g roll, creating a ride that's just as exciting to watch as it is to ride. The roller coaster has proven a fan favorite at the California park, especially for younger thrill seekers ready for their first upside-down ride.

Conceptual Renders for New Thrill Ride
Skyline created conceptual animation and images for the the newest thrill ride from US Thrill Rides. Not only did we create beautiful daytime and nighttime renders of this one-of-a-kind ride, but we also created a hype video which perfectly showcases the dynamics of this impressive thrill ride. In addition, Skyline has created beautiful concept art for other manufacturers and its own collection of rides.

Infinity Flyers Are Ready to Roll
First revealed at the IAAPA Attractions Expo 2018, the Infinity Flyers are the next generation of wooden roller coaster trains. The innovative design reduces maintenance and allows for tighter turns, stronger forces, and the ability to navigate a slew of exciting new elements. Skyline designed and engineered the Infinity Flyers for Great Coasters International and has coordinated with the GCI team on manufacturing and testing the trains.

Crazy Couch the Perfect Children's Ride
Alongside its design and engineering work on major thrill rides, Skyline also offers a one-of-a-kind children's ride that's perfect for any park or family entertainment center: Crazy Couch. This is the wackiest couch you've ever seen, tilting up to ten passengers side-to-side and up-and-down. The ride is ideal with its low maintenance, small footprint, and limitless theming opportunities.

Skyline Pets
As a fun conclusion to each newsletter, we highlight a pet from a member of the Skyline team.
Pictured is Harley, Skyline Design Engineer Tyler's cat. Harley is a mischievous black and white cat who spends her days napping in the sun, climbing onto counters and other places that she's not supposed to be, and watching the sights and sounds of Orlando from the windowsill. She just celebrated her third birthday last month—happy belated birthday, Harley!
