From the folks that brought you X-Scream...

This is absolutely insane. Called "Insanity," it will swing riders 64 feet over the edge of the observation deck about a thousand feet above the street. Check it out...

thecool: the stratosphere tower is about 800 feet tall. it's just over or under 1000 if you include big shot. and belive me, you get one HELL of a view up there! (especially on big shot at night!)

Yeah, i actually thought it was 900 feet, and then including Big shot it is around 1050 to 1100 foot. It must get quite windy up there?!?

Aw man, I though it would take you up 1000 ft and give you a nice 170mph freefall! [:(]

it doesnt look THAT thrilling... all it does is spin. and high roller is fun, but with that i learned that how high the coaster is doesnt matter, the layout matters. unless of course you're petrified of heights [;)]
