Sky Scrapper, Steel roller coaster in Wujin District, Changzhou, China.
Sky Scrapper is a steel roller coaster at World Joyland that sends riders through multiple inversions and sharp curves along an extended track. The ride creates rapid transitions between climbs, drops, and twists that build throughout the course.
The ride opened in 2011 as one of World Joyland's original attractions. Its debut reflected the expansion of modern amusement facilities across China during that period.
The ride's Chinese name, 撕裂星空 (roughly "tearing the starry sky"), matches its Starry Sky Ripper alias and the park's Universe of Starship zone, which draws on the World of Warcraft and StarCraft franchises. Riders board seated before the train is raised into flying position, legs held by ankle flaps.
The coaster sits in World Joyland's Universe of Starship section and can be accessed from different entry points within the park. Visitors should check height requirements and wear comfortable shoes for walking through the entertainment complex.
As of August 2013, Sky Scrapper is the only Bolliger & Mabillard Flying Coaster with a vertical loop, and one of just two with a zero-g roll. Its five inversions tie it with The Flying Dinosaur for the most on a B&M Flying Coaster. The layout also includes a Fly-to-Lie and Lie-to-Fly pair, the second of which passes over water.
