Skyborne Drop Tower is a ride located in Udara. It opened with the park in 2022.
Skyborne is themed as the laboratories and library of the Udara Society. The attraction's queue features murals telling the story of the Udaran floating city, its destruction during Volkanu's first emergence and the Udaran's attempts at reaching for the sky with towers and experimental flying machines, interspersed with blueprints for flying machines, a photo-opportunity with a Udara glider, and bookshelves containing what survived from the fall or has been written since. Entering an observatory for the pre-show, First Librarian Duwi welcomes guests to take part as volunteers in a levitation experiment with a machine attached to Skyborne's tower, noting how much trouble they've had with sustaining levitation for more then a few seconds, but fully confident it'll work out this time. However, as with any drop tower experience, what goes up must come down.
