US Thrill Rides
US Thrill Rides is a designing and manufacturing company in Orlando, Florida. It is best known for creating thrill rides and roller coasters worldwide.
==History==
In 1992, William Kitchen and Ken Bird invented the SkyCoaster. Kitchen founded Sky Fun I Inc. that same year to sell the product to amusement parks. The product was utimately a hit, with more than 90 worldwide installations in just six years. As each operator of a SkyCoaster pays a royalty of 5% of their gross revenue, the company was making $1.75 million annually in royalties along by 1998. Canadian firm ThrillTime Entertainment International took notice and purchased the company for $12 million in mid-1998, renaming it SkyCoaster Inc. All 12 employees kept their jobs, with Kitchen remaining linked to the company as a consultant.
Kitchen's next invention was that of the SkyVenture, sold under SkyVenture, LLC. The first installation opened across from Wet 'n Wild Orlando on International Drive in July 1998. Within a year, the attraction's popularity grew, making a profit for the firm and even getting a visit by former President of the United States George H. W. Bush.
Kitchen next founded US Thrill Rides, a central firm for all future design concepts. US Thrill Rides has since developed the UniCoaster flat rides (which are sold and manufactured by Chance Rides), and SkyQuest transport rides, as well as the SkySpire and Polercoaster (in collaboration with S&S Worldwide and Intamin).
