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.
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]
