Sky Scream is a steel roller coaster located at Plopsaland Deutschland in Hassloch, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. It is a Sky Rocket II built by Premier Rides on the spot previously occupied by Super Wirbel.
The ride was constructed by RCS GmbH. The support structure was fabricated by Valley Iron.[1]
History
The addition of the coaster was announced in August 2013.[2]
The ride was manufactured for a Chinese park, but after suffering delays, it was sent to Holiday Park instead, who had also ordered a new roller coaster.[3] It was manufactured in the United States, with most of the ride arriving at the park during January 2014.[4]
On 5 March 2014, the train arrived on site.[5] Sky Scream opened on 12 April 2014.
Upon opening, the ride had no theme. For the 2015 season, the buildings surrounding the ride were styled in a zombie theme. The ride's queue line was also themed with the addition of some spooky theming elements.
