The highly-anticipated Skyplex roller coaster was initially announced in 2014, but its progress came to a halt due to the impact of COVID-19. In addition to pandemic-related setbacks, the proposed site for the 500-foot-tall attraction faced opposition from other Orlando attractions who believed it would take away from their own offerings. As a result, the project is now up for sale.
Rather than listing a specific price, interested parties are invited to submit bids and proposals for potential development on the land. According to reports from The Orlando Business Journal, the owner of this 13-acre property believes its size allows for significant density and vertical construction opportunities such as large resorts or condominiums – or even a combination of both options. The property consists of six parcels that were acquired by Skyplex Ownership at an estimated cost of $54 million.
Marketing efforts are being led by CBRE’s Joe Ramsberger, Lee Ann Korst and Michael McShea in hopes that this prime parcel will attract new developers with innovative ideas.
