US Thrill Rides was a company based in Orlando, Florida, USA that collaborated with other manufacturers on a series of amusement rides. Its portfolio included the Unicoaster, with installations by American firm Chance Rides and Italian firm SBF Visa Group.
History
US Thrill Rides was founded by Bill Kitchen, who had previously created the Skycoaster ride concept.
The company paired with amusement ride broker Rides 4 U in September 2020 to market and sell the Unicoaster.[1]
On 7 November 2022, Martin & Vleminckx (now known as MV Rides) announced that it had acquired Kitchen's patent portfolio.[2] US Thrill Rides filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy shortly thereafter.[3]
