Skyplex plans include 350-room hotel on Orlando's International Drive
Quote:
A 350-room hotel and a restaurant atop the Skyscraper roller coaster were among new details released Wednesday about the proposed Skyplex Orlando entertainment complex on International Drive.
Joshua Wallack, managing principal for the project, discussed plans for the complex during an Orange County community meeting about the latest I-Drive project.
“Sometimes I don’t believe that this is real,” said Wallack. “But it is.”
The restaurant would sit above an observation deck that will be built above the 500-foot-high Skyscraper roller coaster, which would be the tallest coaster in the world, Wallack said at the rezoning meeting.
He hopes to begin site work in the fourth quarter of this year, with plans to open in 2017.
The complex, to be built on seven parcels of land at the corner of Sand Lake Road and International Drive, has cost $50 million in land acquisition, said Wallack.
