Its usefulness for getting around the map or flinging foes from great heights soon became apparent, and its comedic uses often even outstripped those.

There is currently no information about when the new item will be added to the game, and Epic Games have not confirmed any of the leaks, but it seems likely that players will get their hands on it sooner rather than later.
One thing is for sure, the imaginations of millions of Fortnite players worldwide will already be racing.
