Roller coaster-like ride planned for cruise shiphotel development
I
n a cruise industry first, Carnival Cruise Line’s Mardi Gras will feature the first-ever roller coaster–like ride at sea when it debuts in 2020,
providing a unique open-air thrill ride on the line’s newest and most innovative ship. Built by Maurer Rides, Bolt begins with an action-
packed launch where riders can achieve race car-like levels of acceleration and culminates with a high-powered
hairpin turn around Carnival’s iconic funnel. Riders’ speeds will be posted after the race, and just like land-based roller coasters, guests will have their photo taken during the ride for a memorable keepsake. Guests will also be able to choose their own speed, making each ride. Christine Duffy, president of Carnival Cruise Line, said
that Bolt is the cornerstone of innovations and features being designed for Mardi Gras, which will be the
ultimate playground at sea for fun seekers of all ages. “Bolt will continue the tradition of Carnival providing exciting new ways for our guests to ‘Choose Fun.’ We are so thrilled to introduce this one-of-a-kind, game- changing, exhilarating attraction – our guests are going to love it!” said Duffy. Mardi Gras will be based in Port Canaveral, Florida, which will feature a new state-of-the-art terminal.
Skyrise Miami to begin construction in 2019
Skyrise Miami, the 1000-foot entertainment and observation tower planned for downtown Miami, will begin construction in early 2019, with an estimated completion date of 2023. If built according to plan, the tower will have
over 200,00 square feet of entertainment options for all ages, including observation galleries, family and adrenaline attractions, and multiple music, food and beverage venues. SkyRise Miami, is the vision of renowned developer Jeff Berkowitz.
