Spectrum91 Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 I apologize if this has been posted before, I could not find a topic with it. Four amusement park industry veterans founded a new amusement ride company, Skyline Attractions, LLC, back in July. Three of the men were former employees of Great Coasters International. Over the course of the following few months, the company continually teased their first project. A few weeks back, it was finally announced: Strike-U-Up, a piece of their Games-U-Ride line. Earlier today, the company announced its second attraction, Spin-U-Win. Both attractions look like fun experiences, albeit nothing major. I could easily see major amusement parks installing them as simple games without giving way too much media attention to them. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BB1 Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 The animations look like RCT4 Quality! Interesting attractions, but I am not that sure on the "sellability" of these attractions except for maybe a carnival or a roadside fun place. EDIT: The last ride actually was a child's toy in the 90's too, just an f.y.i. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ride On_17 Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 With a name that sparks visions of massive thrilling rides and a logo to follow suit, I can only wonder if these are just the first and most minor concepts developed by this company. I feel like they would also have roller coasters and thrill rides. Hopefully eventually they will announce larger projects, but at least these are a start. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spectrum91 Posted November 18, 2014 Author Share Posted November 18, 2014 ^I imagine they will in time (and with success from these initial products). However, bigger projects require bigger finances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voicetek Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 I'm sure since it is a new company, coming up with a few smaller, easy to market attractions, is a good way to market yourself and start building a consumer base. On their website, it looks like they've got some other types of rides that they'll be announcing soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

electricsun Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 The Spin-U-Win would not be good for me. How are they going to handle dizzy customers getting up and trying to leave?I remember the Sit'N Spin from childhood; it's been around since 1974 (I have not)! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
