Skyview Atlanta plans new drop-ride attraction near Centennial Ol

The owners of Skyview Atlanta, who brought a 200-foot Ferris wheel to Centennial Olympic Park, are planning a new drop-ride attraction for summer 2016.

Skyview opened in July 2013, operating under a contract among Atlanta Partners Property Management, the Tabernacle Group and the city of Atlanta. The Ferris wheel features 42 climate-controlled gondolas, each with leather seats and a glass door.

A Florida tax collector filed a lawsuit against Skyview in June, claiming the operators failed to pay more than $350,000 in property taxes before moving it from Pensacola Beach to Atlanta. A tentative deal was reached with Escambia County officials July 6.
