The world's tallest rollercoaster has been unveiled that reaches a height of 570ft and travel at speeds of up to 65mph.

A stomach-churning four-minute computer animated video giving a first-hand taster of the US ride has been released by Orlando-based US Thrill Rides, revealing how thrill-seekers will board the ride inside the Skyplex complex before climbing a huge tower, the Mirror reported.

After the ride reaches it's highest point, it then begins its incredible descent to the ground with the film giving an on-board perspective as passengers are thrown through dozens of twists, loops and spirals.

Bill Kitchen, founder of US Thrill Rides, said that the unique design of the coaster means more incredible, heart-pounding inside and outside loops, dives, spirals and inversions in a vertical area than riders have ever before experienced and the skyscraper will not only take riders higher than ever before, but also introduce one thrill right after the next - there's no 'down time' on this four-minute coaster experience.

The 200million dollar rollercoaster, which will be the tallest structure in Orlando, has an observation deck, accessible by glass elevators, offering 535ft panoramic views and the 495,000-square-foot Skyplex will also include upscale arcading, simulators, rock climbing, bars, restaurants and retail, officials say.
