Skycoaster® Soars Even Higher with High-Tech Upgrades

Stevensville, MD, USA (November 2019): Last month at the annual Skycoaster® Safety Seminar in Cedar Point, Ohio, Skycoaster announced their new partnership with JoyTech – an automated, customizable video software that enhances the thrill-seeker experience by documenting each flight into shareable memories with friends, family, and social media:

 

“We are proud to introduce the JoyTech Skycoaster® Video System,” says Christian Lindvall Dahlgren, Chairman – JoyTech AS. “A fully automated video system that delivers a personal video straight to the customer’s phone within minutes of the ride is a very powerful tool both for revenue and marketing. The Skycoaster® just got digital.”

 

Riders carry a Trigger Card in their pocket during flight which, through their high-tech sensors, activates the system to record, upload (into the JoyTech cloud), sort, edit and distribute the video. The editing software also comes with endless editing possibilities, including custom intro/outro and sponsored messages. Watch JoyTech Skycoaster in action here

 

During IAAPA week, partners KCL Engineering will debut their new LED lighting package at Fun Spot America in Orlando, Florida. An illuminated Skycoaster® can be seen for miles at night, displaying one of eight beautiful light shows:

 

“The 250 ft. Skycoaster® at Fun Spot America Orlando has been an icon among the Orlando-area attractions skyline since 2013,” says John Arie Jr., CEO – Fun Spot America. “We are excited to be giving it even more presence with the new dynamic lighting package from KCL. If you thought it looked HUGE before, wait until you see the structure lit in seasonal colors or a color scheme tied to national or regional awareness events!”

 

“The entire KCL team is thrilled that Fun Spot chose us to supply the new lighting for their Orlando park’s landmark Skycoaster®,” says Kris Kunze, Managing Principal – KCL Engineering. “The new system will allow the park to illuminate the structure in a variety of color combinations whether to celebrate a holiday season, cheer on a local sports team, or even for national awareness events. The reduced power requirements when compared to their original fixtures coupled with the lower maintenance requirements for their team, should prove to be a huge win! We can’t wait to see the structure lit during this year’s IAAPA Expo week!”
